Swift Creek Campground

It’s Always Beautiful in the Mountains No matter where you go, the mountains offer more than scenery—they offer sanctuary. There’s always something to see, something to feel, something to remember. Whether it’s the hush of pine needles underfoot, the shimmer of a creek, or the way the light dances across a ridge at dusk, the mountains remind us to breathe. Take the time. Step away from the noise. Let the altitude lift your spirit and the silence reset your rhythm. Whether you’re hiking, foraging, or simply watching clouds roll over the peaks, do yourself a favor: let the mountains work their quiet magic. Stress doesn’t stand a chance up here. And neither does regret.

Campground hosts allowed a group of people they new to group camp next to me even with group camping closed due to covid restrictions in force. These 12 or more people partied into the wee hours of the night with no masks. We reported them to the hosts and they allowed them to stay and repeat the next night. We packed our things and left a day early, out experience there ruined.

We had so much fun at Baker Lake. The water was warmer than expected in August. It was nice to have no cell service. No power and water had a "well water" taste to it (probably iron). Campsites are well spaced and there were many trees for shade.

The lake was very clean, and a perfect temperature for swimming in late August. There were alot of floating logs in the lake that you can swim/float out to that you can stand on, which is really fun. There were alot of bugs, so bring bug spray. The water from all of the potable water faucets tasted metallic and not good. The pit toilets smelled horrible and ran out of toilet paper the first day we were there. There are no sinks, no where to wash your hands or dishes. Our campsite 046 was really close to other campsites and didn't have a ton of privacy, but other campsites looked better.

Love this campground! We went in August and there were lots of bugs, so bring all your bug proofing equipment! There was no data service and no showers on the premises. Great location to Concrete for a "quick" drive into town to get any materials forgotten.
