About Forked Pine Campground
Overview
Good fishing and excellent views of the San Francisco Peaks characterize this lakeside campground. Ashurst Lake is stocked with trout and boasts enough wind for windsurfing.
Both Ashurst Lake and Forked Pine Campgrounds hug the lakeshore with campsites huddled in a picturesque stand of gnarly old juniper trees and pinyon pines. One of Ashurst Lake's most notable characteristics is it ability to hold a high water level in drought years. That can be very important here in northern Arizona where less resilient lakes sometimes dry up.
In addition to fishing and board sailing, the lake offers excellent opportunities for birdwatching during the spring waterfowl migration. For a special treat look for white-faced ibises grazing in the shallows along with the cinnamon teal, pintails and other ducks. Bald eagles and osprey can also be seen in the area, along with a number of species of hawks and songbirds.
A graveled road to the lake and graveled road that surrounds most of the lake provides convenient access for most passenger vehicles and bicycles. Rustic gravel and “two-track” roads in the area offer some great opportunities to mountain bike or walk out into the surrounding juniper/ponderosa mixed forest for some wildlife viewing and open spaces. The San Francisco Peaks stand majestically on the horizon providing a grand display of Arizona’s volcanic past.

You complete the reservation yourself on Recreation.gov.
Does Campsite Sniper book this campground for me?
No. Campsite Sniper sends alerts and direct Recreation.gov links. It never books, pays for, holds, hoards, or resells reservations.
How current is this availability data?
Campsite Sniper re-checks public Recreation.gov availability for this facility every hour and republishes whenever anything changes. This facility's data last changed at Nov 2, 2026 18:20 UTC; an older timestamp means nothing has changed since that time, not that checking stopped. Always confirm final availability on Recreation.gov when you book.
How often do new openings appear at Forked Pine Campground?
Campsite Sniper detected 19 site-date openings here over the last 90 days, none in the last 7. A free alert watches around the clock and pings you the moment one appears.
Can I get a multi-night stay at Forked Pine Campground?
19 three-night openings are showing, counting only runs where the SAME site is free for all three nights. The soonest starts Apr 30, 2027 at site 01. Confirm and book on Recreation.gov.

No RV-analyzable site here has a recorded maximum of 35 ft or more; the longest recorded is 32 ft.
Which month has the most availability at Forked Pine Campground?
May 2027, with 57 open site-nights in the current snapshot of 72.
When is the next open date at Forked Pine Campground?
Campsite Sniper cannot answer that from the current snapshot.

Check Recreation.gov for dates before Apr 30, 2027.
