Baker Creek Campground

This place is beautiful surrounded by mountains making a lovely view. Has many sites. some with a creek running behind them which is lovely to sleep or meditate near. Some near a lake or pond. The site we choose was 2. the site it self could use some improvements. The table is under a weeping willow that hangs over, that is way to close to my head at 5'7 for comfort. So we used the table at the next site over, which was on a slope that also made it hard to use. But as they have posted they charge fees if you move the tables so I worked with what was here. It would be nice if they moved the table out from directly under the weeping willow and moved over the other table so it is a little more flat. We arrived on Tues which is apparently a day where they don't allow you to book online so we had to get a ticket from a solar powered kiosk. If you push any button it turns on. I also wish they would have bear warnings at the kiosk so you know they frequent this area. We saw 1 shortly after dark. Thankfully it left us alone😅 but still good to be aware.

We loved our campsite number 10 right on the creek. But I think they're pretty much all right on the creek. Our stretch of the campground had sites 8-12 and we were the only one in this stretch, and it was awesome. As others have noted, the campground is very dusty/sandy, so I had been trying to get a spot that wouldn't be passed by many cars, and number 10 was great. There was an outhouse nearby, and I had seen a couple of other ones on our drive to the site. No water is available at this campground - unless you want to count Baker Creek, which had a lot more water in it than I thought it would (the dogs loved splashing around in it!). The campsites had picnic tables and fire rings The campground was quiet, except for the babble of the creek, and I felt safe there. The stars were incredible.

Stayed one night in mid-April. Slept in our minivan.The weather was pleasant - not too hot or cold. Found a site close to the restrooms. Pros: 15-20 mins out of town, the creeks are pretty and provide white noise so you don't really hear other campers across the way, plenty of trails, fairly quiet, bathrooms are clean. There are trash and recycling bins as well. Our fur baby enjoyed exploring around our little spot. Cons: Not all tent sites are level, roads are dusty and rutted. Tent sites are close together so in the high season I can imagine it getting pretty cozy with your neighbours. Our table at tent site #24 was pretty sloped. We parked some larger rocks underneath the low end to level it out. The creek was running pretty high so it was fairly loud. If the sound of running water triggers you to get up in the middle of the night to pee, you might find a spot where it is not running so fast 😉 It was also a little buggy, spent ten minutes chasing down a kamakazi mosquito before we could fall asleep! We drove around in the morning and found areas (almost lots) where RVs were parked. All in all, a reasonably pleasant stay for this first time camper.

What a hidden gem. It’s on the corner from a gas station and a fantastic BBQ spot. Only 20 min from Bishop and about an hour away from all the lakes you can hike along. The bathrooms were SO CLEAN! There is a creak for easy access to water so you can save the area from fires. But bring your own potable water for cooking and cleaning. Excellent views of the stars! Reservation was a breeze and very well-maintained.
