North Fork Campground is a Forest Service campground in the High Cascades Ranger District of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forests in southern Oregon. It sits within the national forest's recreation sites, and the Forest Service manages the land. The site is simple, with vault toilets as the only listed amenity. A fee is charged for stays. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the Howard Prairie Dam weather station, about 10 miles away, show July and August highs near 79°F with only two or three wet days a month, while winter brings highs in the mid-30s and regular snow days from December through February. Fish Lake is just 0.1 mile away, and the Fish Lake Snomo hike is under a mile off. Big Elk Guard Station and the Robinson Butte Loop Snomo hike are both within about 1.4 miles.
