About this campground
Escape to the untamed beauty of Baker Beach Campground, where four intimate campsites offer a genuine back-to-nature experience. Each site comes equipped with sturdy picnic tables and traditional fire rings, perfect for evening gatherings under the stars. While you won't find electrical hookups or running water here, what you will discover is something far more valuable – direct trail access to two spectacular destinations. Follow the western path to hear the rhythmic crash of waves at Baker Beach, or venture east to discover the serene waters of Lily Lake. Equestrian adventurers will appreciate the basic horse facilities, making this an ideal basecamp for those who prefer to explore on four legs rather than two.
A small, rustic campground that caters to primitive camping and equestrian visitors.
