From Seattle, Wash., go north on I-5 to Mt. Vernon. Take exit 230 on State Highway 20, North Cascades Highway. Go past Sedro Woolley, Wash., for approximately 18 miles to the east and take Baker Lake Road to Baker Lake. Swift Creek Campground is about half-way up the lake just past milepost 20 on the Baker Lake road. Entrance to campground is on the right-hand side of the road.
Pretty great campground overall. Toilets are long drops and don't have sinks, which isn't the worst thing ever, but it's a bit gross. The sites are good though, and the swimming area is awesome too. The lake is beautiful and is the perfect temperature for swimming in the summer.
Very nice campground without sewer. Not handicapped friendly!
Boat launch, swimming & fishing 🎣
This campground is such a great location, right on the lake and it’s very well maintained! There are no showers but I was told I could go down to another campground to shower if I wanted to. The camp host Ryan is awesome and when I showed up hoping to get a site with no reservation he was very helpful in finding me a site, and probably the best one at that! I manifested a safe, well kept campground & also a fairly private campsite w/ a beautiful view and that’s exactly what I got! Ryan is so friendly and knows everything around here that’s good to do! He picked up both firewood and ice for me happily. He even offered his paddle board for me to take out on the lake with my pup!! The beach area is very nice though small and the lake is just stunning. The incredible turquoise color you see in pictures is legitimately what you have there! I cannot recommend this place enough. Beautiful campground and most helpful & friendly camp host ever :)
Awesome place to camp at Baker lake. Camp sites are clean and sizes for all from tents to large RVs. Wonderful views.
It’s not crowded, there are many picnic tables, generally clean, the view and lake are amazing. The only downside is that the bathrooms needs an upgrade and there’s no changing room. Also, there’s no reception there, downloading the map on a navigation app will be helpful.
