About

East Fork Campground is located on the shores of East Lynn Lake, a 12-mile reservoir stretching along the East Fork of Twelvepole Creek in Wayne County, West Virginia. Managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Huntington District, the campground provides 167 developed sites with electrical and water hookups, making it suitable for both tent campers and RVs. Facilities include flush toilets, vault toilets, hot showers, potable water, and a dump station. The lake offers 44 miles of shoreline and supports extensive water recreation including boating, water skiing, canoeing, and swimming. Anglers fish for largemouth, smallmouth, and striped bass, black crappie, walleye, channel catfish, and muskellunge among 29 documented fish species. The 1.5-mile East Fork Trail begins within the campground, and additional trails in the area include the Damsite Trail, Overlook Trail, and Lakeside Trail. The surrounding landscape features rolling hills forested with upland hardwoods. Wildlife includes black bears, white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, grouse, and waterfowl.
