"Reviewers overwhelmingly praise Salt Fork Primitive Campground for its very well‑maintained grounds, spacious sites (many with asphalt pads and some concrete patios), clean hot shower houses, and friendly, helpful staff. Campers highlight abundant activities — beaches, boating, fishing, gem mining, trails, playgrounds, and a fenced dog park — and many return year after year."
