Maple Grove Campsites are located on Baker Lake Trail. This is a wonderful family hike for all seasons with its low elevation and level grade.

Baker Ranger District open for stock and llama use year round. It can also be accessed at the north via Baker River Trail 606. This trail leads into a majestic stand of Douglas fir that regrew after Mt. Baker erupted and started a forest fire in 1843. You can still see the burned snags of the cedar trees that once dominated the area. From south to north, the trail contours the eastern shoreline of Baker Lake, offering glimpses of Mt. Baker. All along the trail spot western trillium, twinflower, foamflower, coralroot and twisted stalk.

Easy boat launch access! And we do camp there a couple times a year we love the camp site layouts and availability

Langley is a great little town. I don’t know why they haven’t done more to develop the campground- all sites are first-come-first served. They did repair the electrical system this year and just reopened. It’s at the fairgrounds on the edge of town, there’s a largely unlandscaped grass field with electrical boxes & (some) water connections. There is a dump out on site and potable water. There are accessible bathrooms and showers nearby. The campground is on a hill above the horse barn and arena, very convenient to the town of Langley, which is delightful. No camp host available, nobody you can call for assistance. Because the campground just reopened, we were the only ones camped most of the 6 days we were here. I love Langley but they are not as tourist-driven as many towns which have campgrounds like this.

Really nice farm with a great mountain view. Quiet rural setting but close to town (Mt. Vernon) if you need anything or just want to explore the farmer's market, as we did. Woodland trail on the 10+ acres was a real plus for our two dogs. Hosts were helpful and responsive. All around a great weekend. Thank you.
LegendGreat campground. Love the lake. Easy access for our kayak. Beautiful lake for fishing as well. The cleanest restrooms and showers that I have ever experienced camping. We have been here three times now. No sewer, but the dump area is quiet and efficient. Beautiful woods and hiking available as well. We will be back.
ScoutWent solo camping loved it
Legend
Loved this campground! Had a bit of everything. Shaded spots yet plenty of sun with picnic tables to have lunch with a view..plenty of trails to walk. Clean bathrooms. Had to pay for showers. Had a nice playground for kids.
Super level and spacious spots. I had reception there. Would definitely camp here again. Convenient to Port Angeles.
ScoutIf you are there even 5 min past the 10 day limit even though you are obviously packing up the manager will give you a specific time to be gone by or ahe will call the police in an attempt to have you tresspased then call the cops 40mins before that time and on the 9th day she called the police to do a welfare check even though everyone was up and moving around obviously ok. 😡 Never again and i may not even go to their crappy carnival they try to call a fair either.
ScoutFIrst time here. Beautiful, serene and peaceful. Only disagreement involved a chipmunk. We just decided to agree to disagree. :) Had wonderful neighbors. Lake swimming area is walkable via a trail that runs behind the sites.
GuideWe stayed for four nights. Very helpful camp hosts. Super clean bathrooms. Showers are coin operated. Nice hikes along the bluff.

Update. Stockwater has been gaited off due to vandalism and trash dumping. You may utilize trails to walk your horses down to the water. This is primarily a horse/hiking camp. There is not access for motorized Vehicles on the mountain Any longer. There are 2 manure pits, a vault toilet, some fire pits, and a group covered table area. This is dry camping with no potable water or garbage.
Note that this is a working forest and may have heavy log truck traffic at times...the gates will be locked otherwise.

It's more of a place to park then a full on campground. It has water and 30 amp power at all spots with access to a dump station. You are limited to 7 nights per month. It's right next to the fairgrounds so you have all the sounds that come with that. A great place if you are one of the vendors for an event at the fairgrounds. It was $35 a night. If you reserve your spot online there is an $8 fee to do that. The power pedestals is set up for 2 rv's per pole so it might be on the wrong side so you need to run an extra cord or hose. Not a problem if your set up for it.
ScoutWe stayed here two week and loved it.. hated to leave!
Host was very friendly and accommodating . The grounds are well kept. Nice fire pit and Beer Garden area and a great view with mountains and trees surrounding you.
Traveler
Great rest site. It is quiet and they offer a lot of camping/tenting opportunities around the place.
Owners have done a great job of keeping it up and offering wonderful and adventuresome trails to hike or ride for all levels of experience.
A definite place worth checking out, provided you can book early enough...
RangerWe camp here a few times, the last time in August 2021 during a self-supported bike tour around the Olympic Peninsula. The biker/hiker sites are quite nice, isolated from regular campsites but if sharing with other bikers/hikers you won’t get much privacy and may need to share tables or fire pits. If coming from Seattle you may enjoy riding on Olympic Discovery Trail. The campground has nice restroom with hot shower, which was quite appreciated after a long day on the bike.

Spent one night at Lizard Lake. Only 4 campsites there and all really close to each other. All the sites had a fire ring, bench and a flat area to set up your tent. The hike up is pretty easy but the only water source is from the lakes which is not the cleanest water so bring a good filter.
Once you get a spot it is very easy to go to the other lookouts that are not far from the lakes.
GuideFirst night we overnighted with our RV and it was beautiful! Great views at the Bluff. Park ranger was very friendly.
TravelerWell-managed campground, very clean, beautiful location with excellent access to the beach and birding and lavender farms and the town of Sequim.
LegendI loved this place. Beautiful spot.
My site was one of the closest to the bluff and in almost full sun (which I liked, because it was chilly). Others as close as my next door neighbor were in full shade with more of a forested feel. The website where you book your sites has excellent photos of each one, so choose according to what you’d prefer. FWIW, unlike the last reviewer, I had no mosquitoes.
In the middle of B loop there’s a great equipped playground next to the bathrooms. Oddly, there were a bunch of older kids there on a field trip who were hanging out the whole day, made for a crowded and awkward experience for campers.
On that note, there is a lot of day use at the campground because of all the scenic overlooks and trails to explore. There is some foot traffic through the campground; secure belongings. The gates are shut at 10 PM sharp, so it’s only campers inside overnight.
ScoutNice little camp ground. Very secluded and quiet. Very helpful staff, but there is lots of mosquitos.
GuideTraveling from Seattle, we stumbled upon this campground. Kind of confusing to find, it’s called “RV2” and you follow the signs to it in the fairground parking lot. More for RVs and not so much tents, we ended up sleeping in the car. Didn’t utilize the showers, but there was a port a pot for us to use. Camp host was nice, $25 for the night. Racetrack is loud but was expected
ScoutThis is under snohomish county park system. Rates are good price. Notable considerations, near racetrack ongoing races and trials usually quiets down early evening this time of year. Great place to go adventure for the day. A couple major stores to stock up on. Friendly staff check in was a breeze just call the number.
ScoutNot a place for tranquility. The price is right for what you get. Dump station you either drive to or take your porta can and drag it there. Hosts are good people and quiet when races not running. I'd stay here again
GuideIt is an open fairground with rv hookups.
GuideI foolishly took off to the coast during the month of July without a reservation to head to Fairholme or mora campground, thinking I could snag a first come first serve site - wrong. After making it up to lake crescent and finding the place was full, and then spending hours winding all the back to sequim and checking every campground I came across, I was becoming disheartened. It was 7pm on a Thursday night and I was about to just rent a hotel room when I stumbled on this place. Driving into the Rec area I was treated to the ocean bluffs, beautiful open fields with tons of deer grazing and a beautiful windy road into the campground. The full sign wasn’t up yet so I started scanning. There were two sites left in the whole campground so I jumped on one of them for the night. Site 28 I believe. It was small but had dense vegetation/a solid privacy screen. I planned on staying just one night before heading back towards la push, but I totally fell in love! I foolishly didn’t have cash on me as I usually camp at Fairholme and have been spoiled by being able to write in my debit card on the site deposit slip, so I left an IOU with my phone # and site # and the rangers were totally cool about it when they stopped by in the morning to check in with me. I ran into town to grab cash, paid the IOU and ended paying for the rest of the weekend. I got lucky and was able to move over to another FCFS site, #6 when the previous occupants took off and it was a killer spot. The campground was wildly clean, well maintained, quiet and the access down to the Dungeness spit was unbeatable. Plus falling asleep to the sound of the ocean was pretty dreamy. Spent the whole weekend combing the beach for agates and sea glass and had some pretty good finds. All in all, I didn’t mean to end up at this campground, but now I can hardly wait to go back.
TravelerRecently redone sites,, with new bbq/fire pits. New gravel around the site. We had a great time, most of the sites are very big with lots of room some more private than others but over-all I'd rate a 7/10 for privacy. Very shaded spots too. The walk to the lake isn't bad. Bathroom facilities were okay, showers were not working and one was out of T.p. the whole time. The grounds are great for kids to play, lots of fields, and creeks to explore, and perfect for family bike riding or skate boarding.
ScoutCampground is lovely. I loved falling asleep to the sounds of the Strait and waking up to bird songs of all kinds Looks like most sites are fairly spacious and relatively private. The shared areas are very clean.
