West Fork Campground

West Fork Campground is on the Taylor Highway (milepost 49), near the town of Toke. In mid-September, the Campground is usually full, with most visitors using RVs and 5th-wheel campers. There is a 10-day stay limit. An iron ranger fee-payment box sits near the entrance. Visitors can also pay fees using the Scan & Pay app on a mobile phone. Because there is no cell phone reception at the site, you will need to download the required Recreation.gov mobile app prior to traveling to the Campground, selecting the Scan & Pay option. The campground has 2 loops, one with 7 pull-through spaces and another with 18 back-in spaces. At the overlook on the large loop, look for trumpeter swans and moose on the small oxbow lake. River Access: 1/4 mile north of the campground, there is parking and river access. The river access point for the West Fork of the Dennison is the southernmost access point on the 400-mile Fortymile National Wild and Scenic River System. Boats must be carried about 20 yards to the water. Except during periods of high water, such as spring runoff, this section of river is typically too shallow for pleasant canoeing or rafting.
