Forked Pine Campground

What sets Forked Pine Campground apart is its serene lakeside location and panoramic views of the majestic San Francisco Peaks, a tranquil retreat perfect for tent or small RV campers seeking unmatched natural beauty and outdoor adventures. With 25 campsites staggered along the eastern shore of Ashurst Lake in the Coconino National Forest, this campground offers a peaceful, rustic camping experience amidst juniper and pinyon pines.

Each campsite features a picnic table, fire ring, and access to vault toilets, while potable water is provided via large tanks. Visitors can enjoy a range of activities including fishing, birdwatching, hiking, mountain biking, and windsurfing. The lake, known for its resilience during droughts, teems with trout, bass, and catfish, making it a haven for anglers. A convenient boat ramp caters to small, non-motorized boats. At approximately 7,000 feet in elevation and 20 miles southeast of Flagstaff, Forked Pine also offers cooler temperatures and striking scenery, ideal for weekend getaways or extended stays.

The campground is within a 30-minute drive of other attractions like Upper Lake Mary, offering opportunities for power boating and fishing, and Mormon Lake, a unique natural lake with rustic charm. Accessible via a graveled road, Forked Pine is a quintessential Northern Arizona destination for those looking to immerse themselves in the rugged beauty of the region.
