CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

Park Creek Campground, near Baker Lake, Washington, is a cozy spot for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle. It’s got a laid-back vibe, with sites that allow for campfires and pets, making it a great choice for families and friends wanting to enjoy the great outdoors together.

Park Creek Campground

This campground is located on Baker Lake Road. It is on the opposite side of the road as the lake, across from Swift Creek campground. 

Park Creek campground takes reservations. We tried our luck with no reservations- on the Thursday before Labor Day Weekend- and we were able to score a spot for one night. There were several sites available when we stayed there, but it was full for the weekend. 

We chose a spot that seemed a little more secluded than others, and it turned out to be a sweet little spot.. There was a place to park our car, a picnic area, a spot for two tents(sort of…we got pretty close to each other) and river access.

 The campground has toilets and dumpsters, but no showers. There were two separate toilets close to us. 

We were able to gather lots of firewood in the surrounding woods, so had a nice fire. 

The great thing about this campground is its location. It’s right across the street from Baker Lake, and near some amazing hikes.

1 right now but 5 soon

I have to give this a one star for now since alit if trees have been cut because of a fire. The grounds are charred but within a few years it should be better. The undergrowth is taking over for now. The campground does sit next to a stream and it will be really relaxing once the tree cover comes back.

Fire recently

A forest fire has recently made its way through this campground. The forest service is cleaning it up as of June 2019. The sites were level and quiet. This campground would be a nice spot away from the crowds. It is close to baker lake.

Great spot for hiking and fishing

This is a nice small campground if you want to get away from the crowds. They have RV site hookups and allow you to book ahead.

Baker Lake is an amazing place for fishing and hiking.
