Baker's Run Campground

Stayed just one night during the week. Must reserve more than 48 hours prior but luckily many spots were available and the host was patient to assist in making the reservation since we had extremely low cell signal. It was aways to drive and the entrance may be difficult for some unexperienced haulers but, all in all, we are very happy we took a chance. Very clean and peaceful park even though many were camping. We would definitely return! Recommend running the water for a minute prior to filling due to a bit of dirt/rust.

Great campground if you really like to get away from it all. To get to Bakers Run you must have a love WV's narrow back roads with steep hills, twists & turns. The hosts are great folks always around ready to help BUT never in your business. Restrooms/showers very clean. Great views of Sutton Lake. Limited Sutton Lake access without a boat. Very little to NO CELL PHONE SERVICE. If you need all the comforts of a snack bar, Wi-Fi, paddle boat rentals, bike rentals and such this IS NOT the campground for you. There two small stores off of campground property that have ice, firewood, limited grocery items, hunting, finishing supplies, gun shop, odds & ends for camping. Nice boat ramp area plenty of boat trailer parking. Updated playground for children and plenty of places to fish along the sho

Hidden Gem in the Middle of West Virginia! This place is awesome, and there's so much to do. First, getting here can be difficult. If you are coming from the west, your GPS may direct you down a dirt road that ends up being a dead end. To avoid this make sure you go through Sutton, there are plenty of actual signs directing you to the campground. We showed up without reservations because we saw on the website (Recreation.gov) that they had availability. However, if you want to make sure you have reservations, you can make it online, and it should save you some time when you get checked in. The check-in is at the campground entrance and is usually 'manned' during business hours. If you are paying on-site, they only accept credit cards. The campground is split between 'primitive' (what yo

I frequent this campground as my father own's the next campground over on Baker's Run. This is one of my favorite campgrounds to visit and have been coming here for 30 years. There is a dock right by the campground, a decent bath house and lots of things to do back into the nearby areas of Sutton and Flatwoods. I personally like to travel back out of the campground and swim in a spot just as you leave the area. This is also a good takeout for kayaking which I do frequently there as well. The first time I ever seen a bald eagle in my life was in this swimming hole on the Elk River. It was incredible. This was in August 2023 as well. So he is still living and hunting in that very spot. The whole area is incredible and if you get a chance to go out on the lake, there is some cool Native Ameri

My best friend and I had planned an outing to camp and have a boat rental at Sutton. We found this campground and it was right on the water. Very clean, easy to get to the restrooms (which were clean and in good shape), and had a playground and dock you could fish off. We had a blast and we're happy it was pretty close to the Marina.
