Swift Creek Campground

Clean, quiet perfect camping location. Site 35 is a double lot - didn’t know that when booking. It is a little bit more exposed then some of the other sites available but still had a lovely time.

Great camp sites next to Baker lake with stunning emerald green/blue water. Lots of hiking trails nearby.

My son and I spent one night here mid week. It is a solid camp ground, quiet and very clean. 

Most sites are reasonably private, water spigots and bathrooms (which for pit toilets were the cleanest I’ve ever experienced) are not too far of a walk from any site. 

There are plenty of trails to explore and the lake is beautiful. Sites 34 - 39 are all along the edge of the water. But even the farther ones away are less than 5 minutes walk. 

If you have the opportunity to get out on the water do it! While you can’t really see it from the camp grounds, Mount Baker is right there behind you, 50 feet out into the lake and it makes beautiful scene. 

The swimming area is great for kids and adults, lots of places in the shade on the hill next to it with or without picnic tables, a few bathrooms nearby and water spigots. 

There are plenty of mosquitoes but they seems to be kept mostly at way with standard bug spray and candles. 

We will come back.

By far one of my favorite campsites. I go multiple times every year. It's nice to get away from power and the internet and just be in nature

Beautiful campground on Baker Lake. This is a great spot to take your boat as there is a really nice dock. There's a small beach and swim area. Bathrooms are the built in portapotty type but they're very clean. Really glad I had bugspray because the mosquitoes are everywhere. Overall a great camp we'll visit again!

Wonderfully access to baker lake and the north cascades.

Sites are nice and spacious. Campsite hosts were extremely friendly. Water is available at spigots around campground but has a bad metallic taste to it. Mosquitoes will eat you alive.

it’s great access to the northern cascades. first time staying there and I have been camping in Washington since I was born

it has great access to some really good trails the scenery is beautiful.

Great views along the lake of forests and mountains, small beaches to explore, lots of small local trails and long challenging trails. The campground is simple. All sites are a short walk from the water’s edge, with some being closer than others. Great tent pads to keep you a little drier. Nice and quiet, but probably fills up on weekends. Can’t say enough about this whole area, and this is a great simple campground to connect to nature.

We arrived in Mid August and got one of the last sites. If you are going in the summer, probably better reserve a site! Our site was a walk-in. 4 or 5 shared parking area served 3 close campsites. the campsite was on the river and it was pretty. The campground was quiet - thank god no trains (see money creek review). There was a nice trail past the interpretive area that crosses a bridge over the river - quite pretty. There were full restrooms and running water. Aside from the crowds, we enjoyed our stay.

This site behaves like a dispersed campground, so you can get your space and access to the water with your boat. Plus during the summer you might catch a sockeye salmon. The facilities are very basic and it fills up fast in the summer.
