"Philip's lake is a delightful small Lake in the hills near Baker City Oregon and Sumpter Oregon."
"Baker city was just about 20 minutes away along with the old gold mining town of Sumpter about 10 minutes away"
"There looks to be 4 sites in the trees, but if you keep driving down it’ll take you towards the lake, which is where I camped. Wide open, great sunset views!"
"I really like this location. I wanted to pa down by the water, but we are pulling a small camper and the road looked way too rough to go all the way down."
"The drive in is gorgeous and the spots are nice with plenty of distance between."
"Beautiful spot near Phillips Lake. Unfortunately this spot is not on the waters edge at the moment since lake levels are low, but it is still beautiful none-the-less. Lots of wildlife."
"Most of the sites overlooked a beautiful lake stick among the hills, and we’re in decent shape with a fire ring, table and little grill."
"Although there’s not a ton of spots, it’s lovely and was a quiet solitude away from the road but not too far. Saw a ton of wildlife too (bring your bear spray)."
"Cranes were hanging at the lake, two Bald Eagles were close by. Great location with a lot to explore."
"Parked at the very end nearest the lake and had spectacular views of the surrounding valley and mountains."
"Pet friendly, family friendly."
"Pets cannot be off leash. The pool is mor of a big hot tub, not for actual swimming"
LegendWe 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).

GuideThe 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.
GuideDry 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
