"This campground isn't directly on the West Fork of the Dennison, but it's an easy 1/4 mile walk. The campsites each have picnic tables and fire rings and you'll need to bring your own firewood."
"It was a great place to stop after navigating winding roads on the Taylor highway. Nicely wooded spots"
GuideAlthough the state currently lists the campground as open, visiting there in mid-June I found that it looked essentially abandoned. There was no fee collection, the toilets were locked, and the fire ring in the site I chose apparently had no fires since last year, as it was covered in dried leaves. Other sites were similar. Nobody else camped there the night I stayed. Overall it was a slightly creepy experience.
That said, it's a lovely location with heavy foliage providing substantial privacy between sites, and several sites are adjacent to the creek (which was running a bit high and fast for decent fishing the night I was there). The sites were large, with picnic tables and fire rings at each one. The mosquito situation was about normal for that part of Alaska (bring bug dope). Water is available, but boil before using.
Not sure what the heck is going on with its status but I would guess it's pretty nice when it's being maintained. That said, I'm not sure I'll be back - it's about 40 miles from the Eagle Trail SRS, which is really nice.
TravelerExcellent campsite along the Alaska highway and especially a great place to stop on your way into or out of Canada.
LegendThis campground (CG) is a conveniently located CG right off the highway as you enter town, and it served as a great first stop for us after crossing into Alaska. We reserved 30 AMP water/electric sites for a four-night stay along with our travel partners. At check-in, we asked about full hookup(FHU) availability and were told that 50 AMP FHU sites were open. Our travel partners chose to upgrade, but we stayed with our original site as the FHU sites were a bit shorter and more closely spaced. A standout amenity is the free RV wash offered to guests staying at least two nights—we used it right away and appreciated the two pressure wash stations with buckets and soft brushes (soap not included). Our site,#87, was an end cap near the RV wash and glamping tents, and with the utility connections located near the center of the pad, we were able to easily position our 40’ fifth wheel to drop the rear patio and park our F-450 comfortably. Weather was mild during our visit, so 30 AMP service was sufficient, and water pressure held steady at around 40 PSI. Cellular service was mixed, with 1 bar LTE on Verizon and 3 bars LTE on T-Mobile, while our Starlink worked great despite the many trees, pulling in 153 Mbps download and 5.78 upload speeds. The CG offers cable TV, though we didn’t use it, and free Wi-Fi with an optional upgraded plan, though we were unable to connect and didn’t pursue it since Starlink met our needs. The CG has two clean laundry rooms—one at the office/gift shop and another at the shower house. When we chose to leave a day early, the friendly staff easily applied a credit toward our return trip back through Tok. Overall, Tok RV Village was a well-maintained, amenity-rich CG that worked well for our group, and we’d stay again.
GuideI stayed here in July 2019 and had a great place. Vanessa is an impeccable host who really cares about those who stay at her place. She has an eclectic collection of campsites/cabins. I personally stayed in the ambulance and was quite comfortable after a long ride. Also, the sauna is a welcome respite for tired bones. Everytime i go to Alaska, I will be staying at Thompson's Eagle Claw.
LegendOwner, Tim was awesome. Very friendly and works hard every day to make sure this is a successful campground.
They have wifi, bathhouse, level camp spots, laundry, a dog play area, store and cafe with breakfast, lunch and dinner!. Breakfast has their famous sourdough pancakes...
They do a pancake toss every night which is a fun little thing. Winner gets $10 toward breakfast. Lots of fun. We had a great time here!!
ScoutWell kept, lots of options for campsites. Just be aware, there are restrooms right by the front entrance, so if you camp close to the entrance you may be woken up by people passing through in the night to use the restroom.
TravelerThe RV park is clean, well organized, and able to accommodate tents to class a’s. Full hookup available with bath house if required. The staff was very friendly and provided local recommendations within walking distance.
TravelerStayed one night in June 2019. Owners were very friendly and engaged with everyone. There is a fun nightly “World Famous” pancake toss that everyone is encouraged to participate in. Sink a pancake in the bucket and win free breakfast. Breakfast in the restaurant was fantastic. Campground is in the woods. Full hookups available as well as a dump station, RV/car was station, hot showers, group fire pit, and market. Close proximity to fuel in town. Overall great place
