Lake Fork Campground
Antonito, Colorado · Private campground · books through the park office, directly.
Lake Fork Campground is one of the privately operated parks in the Antonito area. It sits about 186 miles southwest of downtown Denver as the crow flies, with Antonito as the nearest supply town on our board.
Campers rate it 4.3 of 5 across 77 reviews on RVParks.us, our sister directory, where the photo sets and firsthand reports live.
This is a proper haul: the route runs out the US-285 corridor through the Platte River country, and the smart play is treating the drive as day one of the trip. Fuel and grocery stops get thinner the farther you get from the metro, so leave stocked, watch afternoon weather over the high ground, and arrive with daylight to spare.
At about 9,500 feet, this is true high country camping. The season runs short, roughly late spring through September, and nights stay cold all summer. Pack for frost in July, and make sure the furnace in your rental is one we vouch for.
Full hookups are the default at private parks like this one, which is exactly why big rigs and long stays favor them. Expect power, water and sewer at the site, and ask about pull-through pads if backing a trailer isn't your favorite spectator sport. Wifi and laundry usually make the amenity list too.
Booking a Site Here
Book straight with the park. Private parks hold inventory later than the reservation sites, keep longer seasons, and a phone call often finds a weekend pull-through the internet swears is gone. Expect full hookups as the default and ask about long-rig sites if you're bringing anything over 35 feet.
Pairing It With a Camper
From Denver, treat this one as a proper road trip leg. Most renters pick the camper up in the metro and make the drive part of the trip; long-haul delivery can be quoted with lead time. Reserve the site in your own name first, then match the rig to the pad length and hookups. Our camper listings state length, tanks and power draw plainly, and we answer campground fit questions all day.

What Campers Say
★★★★★Love this campground on the western side of Blue Mesa. No hookups but easily accessible for a variety of sized RVs. Easy access to lake via hiking trails and a loading dock for boats. Views cant be beat here and the lack of city lights means you can fully appreciate the nights sky.

★★★★★What a great campground! Sites looking out over the reservoir, nicely paved and level. Our spot was site 33 but they all look great. Showers and toilets are well maintained, and there is an on site dump station. Potable water spigots are in several places but the sites do not have water or electricity.
