WEST FORK CAMPGROUND is a public campground in San Juan NF, CO. It has 27 campsites. 15 sites can be reserved. 12 sites are first come, first served.

From the official campground listing

West Fork Campground sits near the West Fork San Juan River in a secluded 10-acre area, just over a mile from Highway 160. Visitors enjoy the area for its hiking opportunities and plentiful solitude.

The West Fork and nearby Wolf Creek offer fishing opportunities, but are heavily fished streams. Only skilled and patient fishermen have much luck in these waters.

The West Fork Trail, also known as the Rainbow Trail, leads into the Weminuche Wilderness from a trailhead a mile beyond the campground. The first portion of the trail passes through private property, so please stay on the trail and leave the gates as you find them.

The campground offers single-family sites, some of which are adjacent to the river but without direct views. Most sites are suitable for large RVs.
