Quiet and close to the lake

Shannon Creek Campground is off the main road that takes you to the trails at Baker Lake. Even though we chose the closest campground to the road, we didn't hear any traffic. Our campsite felt incredibly secluded, surrounded by trees and we couldn't hear any other campers. When we left our spot to explore, however, we could see that not all sites were as good and quickly we could hear a group partying further into the campground. In our explorations, we found that the campground has outhouses and a boat launch, with campsites right at the launch. The views from the launch of Baker lake were stunning. Our site had a picnic table, a fire pit and space to (tightly) fit in three tents, a hammock and two cars. It's the closest regular campground to the Baker Lake Trail, though there are dispersed campsites along the way as well. The Baker Lake Trail is beautiful and we spent an afternoon exploring it. It is also a semi-popular backpacking trail.
