    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. Stands of giant old growth trees draped in lichen and covered in moss are some of the highlights along this trail. Baker Lake Trail is the only trail on Mt. 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.

    Funky, convenient

    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.

    Great 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.

    Lovely spot by the water

    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.

    Crap

    If 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.

    Update

    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.

    Has all the basic needs for a safe stay.

    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.

    Very nice Hiker/biker sites

    We 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.

    Easy hike and good views

    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.

    Choose wisely

    I 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.

    Works for a quick overnight

    Traveling 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

    This 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.

    A total gem.

    I 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.

    Great for families

    Recently 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.

    We spent two nights here and loved it.  Camp hosts were very nice and so were the rangers.  There were two kids camped out a few sites away that had been fighting with each other.  The ranger was all over it which was nice to see.  Our site was clean and had a great fire pit.  Great trails around here!

    Best Campsite on the PNT

    Took the site to the farthest north. STUNNING sunset views of Baker and (if you get into the water) Shuksan. Bunch of flat sites, great fire-rings, and even an old dock if you have a boat. No running water, but... there’s a lake right there!

    Hiked the whole Baker Lake Trail and from what we saw, this was the best site!

    Quiet and Lots of Space

    Great place to bring your LQ (any size rig) and camp with your horses. There are a few non-equestrians, but we need to keep this a place for equestrians because we are losing more and more campsites.  Trails are well maintained and extensive.

    No water or electric at the camp, but you can drive down to a creek and pump or collect water for your horses. You will be boondocking.

    High-line poles are available to high-tie your horses. We set up a portable corral and were fine. Picnic tables and fire rings are also available.

    No manure pile or wheel barrow. There is a vault toilet and I got cell service on my phone.

    Works in a pinch

    Unless you’re going to the fairgrounds, this’ll probably be torture. The racetrack here is non stop noise when they’re racing. It’s a gravel parking lot with no real amenities. Perfect for a vendor at the fair, not great for someone who wants a peaceful spot to park an RV.

    Well kept camp

    We came here around 9pm on a Friday as we couldn’t get any first come spots elsewhere in the area. We don’t have horses but it was a pleasant area to stay in still. Bill came by to check on us and make sure we were settled in okay the next morning which was nice. There is a community fire pit area as well as fire rings at each site. 2 porta potties. We were happy to have found this and glad we could get a site last minute! The area is beautiful and was a good base for a hike and going to the lavender farms in town.
