Im from Arkansas and would like to visit the Fork area in a couple months. I have a 26' camper and like to stay somewhere with water/electric, that it's OK to build a small campfire and enjoy camp. I looked for something like a state park but didn't see one around lake fork. Anyone have any ideas i sure would like to hear!

Lake Tawakoni State Park to Lake Fork is approximately 30 miles according to google maps.Lake Fork largemouth bass,but Tawakoni will beat it on every other species.

wow thanks.
looks like that may be a great option then!

Anyone here ever stay at Tawakoni state park? Nice campground, good level sites?

There weekly fishing, best on the lake,level,clean,great showers and bathrooms,best ramp on lake.Security & parking great.

State Park at Bob Sandlin is really nice and even though you are close to Fork you are also right there at Lakes Bob Sandlin, Cypress Springs and Monticello.

Thanks!

Check out Purtis Creek State Park ---- small lake - nice park with a gate that close's at 10pm -- Camping area is clean,lot's of trees,nice place for kid's -- I could let my 13 yr old roam with-out much worry.

Purtis Creek's pier is as good as it gets for those who like to fish piers. Also you will not get run over by a boat there as its idle only!!

Lake Fork Marina has campsites that are on the water with full hook ups. Located on Hwy 17 just south of its intersection with hwy 515. Go south on 514 at Sulphur Springs, east on 515, and south on 17. App. 20 miles from Sulphur Srings. No problem with campfires as far as I know. It is a nice place with a restaurant and store as well as motel. Their prices are reasonable. My friends have camped there a couple of different times and were happy with it. They have a website.
