Baker Lake Campground is located in a stand of red pine on the shore of Baker Lake. Unlike most other rustic campgrounds, there is a solar powered faucet for drinking water. It is an excellent first or last night site for people who are using the Baker Lake Entry Point to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
From Highway 61 in Tofte: Turn left at Co 2 (Sawbill Trail), and drive approximately 16 miles to FR 170. Turn right on FR 170, drive 6 miles. Turn left on FR 1272 to Baker Lake Rustic Campground. A turn off of 1272 slightly before the campground leads to an additional camping site away from the lake.
Really nice! Long drive. Dirt road. Many mosquitoes. Otherwise perfect.
Many more mosquitos were at Baker Lake than the surrounding areas when we were there. The campground is still a nice spot to camp.
