    Anthony Lakes Mountain Resort Campground

    Beautifully maintained campground in the Blue Mountains

    We stopped by Anthony Lakes on our way back to the Willamette Valley from Baker City. The campsite is on a property that becomes a ski resort in the winter (it's at over ~7000 ft). The campground was immaculately maintained and had lots of recreation options. On weekends in the summer, the ski lift becomes a mountain biking lift, there are hiking trails, and of course lakes. The lakes themselves are pretty small, but big enough for some kayak adventuring and swimming. We got caught in a summer thunderstorm, so we were glad we had a shelter to pop up.

    Our site was private with access to the lake trail. Pit toilets, but everything was very clean. There are also walk-up sites around the back of the lake which had more mosquitos, but were very spacious.  It looks like there is one yurt on top of the mountain. The mountain bike path goes by it, and it looks like it has great views.

    This was an easy drive from Baker City, a little far from Portland unless you're going to make a multi-day vacation out of it. On the way through the mountains, there's plenty of gold mining history, a historical dredge, and some ghost towns to stop by. 

    Lots of chipmunks, so watch what you leave out (even momentarily).

    Baker City Motel & RV Center

    Charmless and pricey but not without its plusses

    The Baker City Motel has turned its back parking lot into an RV park that appears to be largely composed of long-term residents. It is charmless with trailers and campers wedged closely together on what was a muddy surface on the night I stayed there. That said, the park delivers on its promises with good electrical connections and robust wifi. The bathroom which includes a shower was clean and spacious. Though segregated by gender, on the morning I waited outside the ladies' room for the occupant to vacate, it was a man who exited leaving the smell of cigarette smoke behind. If you're tired and looking for a place to park and sleep, maybe catch up on some emails, this is a suitable choice, close to the city center. But you won't want to stick around for the atmosphere. Oh, and at $35 a night, I found it a bit pricey.

    Southwest Shore Campground

    Peaceful and spectacular views

    Dry camping with a put toilet, very clean. The camping sites were pretty level. Site 11 we feel was the best. Baker city was just about 20 minutes away along with the old gold mining town of Sumpter about 10 minutes away

    Hidden State Park

    This is a Primitive Campground. No RV Hook Ups. Reservations Cannot be made.

    Sites are spacious and pads are gravel. Perfect campground to spend the night in after taking in John Day and heading for Baker City, OR.

    There is no playground, but a nice picnic area is available.

    Mtn View RV Park

    A stay back in time....

    This park is in Baker City and close to many restaurants as well grocery stores. This unique park is well kept and had a store which was a plus! The bathrooms and showers were clean and , and had wonderful water pressure! The pool was refreshing and had plenty of space. The staff was so helpful and allowed us to change spots as the spot that we originally had was on one side of the park that had a little bit too much action and noise from the business behind the fence. We consider ourselves modern day pioneers, so it was nice to be in a park that kept true to the Pioneer era feel and you have to go to the office at night to see all the stuff that they did to add to the spark of this park.
