Walker Fork Campground

Walker Fork Campground offers a true Alaskan wilderness experience, situated at milepost 82.1 of the Taylor Highway. This BLM-managed site provides a peaceful retreat for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the rugged landscape near the historic community of Chicken. With 24 camping sites, including 18 pull-through options, the campground is well-equipped to accommodate both tent campers and those traveling by RV.

The setting is distinctly primitive, offering an authentic outdoor experience without modern utility hookups. The site is ADA accessible and features an iron ranger fee-payment box at the entrance. Because there is no cell phone reception in this remote area, campers should download the Recreation.gov mobile app and select the Scan and Pay option before departing for their trip.

This campground is best suited for self-sufficient adventurers, including families and road-trippers navigating the Taylor Highway who appreciate a quiet, no-frills environment. Whether you are looking for a base camp for backcountry exploration or a convenient stopover in the Alaskan interior, Walker Fork provides a reliable, year-round location to rest and enjoy the surrounding natural beauty.
