Clark's Fork Camp is a camp located within the Boy Scouts Of America 's Philmont Scout Ranch , a backpacking reservation in northern New Mexico . Clark's Fork is a very large and busy western-themed camp, close to Philmont base camp. For dinner, Scouts and leaders are served a " Chuckwagon " beef stew, a signature of Philmont. Many 'crews' (trekking groups usually consisting of ten Scouts and two adult leaders) take trail rides on the camps horses. Rides can be reserved in advance by crew leaders.

Clark's Fork is an excellent place to get belts, boots and other gear branded with the Philmont Horse Brand or Cattle Brand .

Situated at 36°28.01' North latitude and 105°02.88' West longitude, Clark's Fork is fairly close to Philmont's base camp. Crews looking for a camp close to the center of civilization will find this one a good choice. Backpackers who desire solitude should head north and west to Another Camp .
