About
East Fork Campground is located on the shores of East Lynn Lake, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir on the East Fork of Twelvepole Creek near East Lynn, West Virginia. The campground offers 167 sites with electric and water hookups distributed across multiple loops, providing access to a 12-mile lake with 44 miles of shoreline. The facility includes flush and pit toilets, showers, drinking water, a dump station, boat ramp, amphitheater, playground, and basketball and volleyball courts. The lake is a popular destination for boating, water skiing, swimming, and fishing. Anglers pursue 29 species of fish including largemouth, smallmouth, and striped bass, black crappie, red-breast sunfish, walleye, channel catfish, and muskellunge. Several miles of hiking trails wind through the surrounding wooded hills, including the 1.5-mile East Fork Trail that begins within the campground, as well as the Damsite Trail, Overlook Trail, and Lakeside Trail. The campground is situated among rolling hills forested with upland hardwood trees. Wildlife is abundant, with black bears, white-tailed deer, grouse, rabbits, raccoons, squirrels, turkeys, and waterfowl inhabiting the area. The adjacent East Lynn Lake Wildlife Management Area encompasses 25,000 acres of public lands open to hunting, fishing, and hiking, making this an ideal base for outdoor recreation in southern West Virginia.
