West Fork is a 3,100-foot-elevation hike-in campground in the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument Ranger District of Angeles National Forest, California, managed by the Forest Service. It sits along the trails of the Gabrielino National Recreation Trail and Silver Moccasin National Recreation Trail, which intersect just south of the site. The campground offers seven trailside campsites. When open, it is not regularly maintained, so plan for a backcountry-style stay. No fees are required to use the site. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Pearblossom show April highs around 75°F and October highs around 80°F, while July and August average in the upper 90s. The Silver Moccasin Trail and Gabrielino Trail both pass within a tenth of a mile. Devore campground is 0.8 miles away, and Valley Forge is 1.5 miles away.
