The dirt road into the campground has no speed limit, and the campsites on the east side are covered in dust from the non-stop speeding vehicles that are only 30 feet away. To make it worse, we were woken up dozens of times each night because trucks pulling boats were coming into and leaving the campground to launch their boats throughout the night. Literally all night.

If you like the sound of generators and partying, this is your spot!

Beautiful, quiet and clean. Everyone at the campground was fishing except for us but that meant there were no loud groups or parties. The swimming area is a great place to put in your paddle board.
@SteveG6282290 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025
Nice clean campground. Hosts were constantly patrolling to keep it clean.
@PamN2762723 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #GP1
Camp hosts were awesome and very accommodating. Sites are roomy, bathrooms are very clean and setting is beautiful. Only thing thats not desirable is all of the dust from the roads in the park and tons of fisherman traffic.

This is a stunning lake and campground is well maintained. Host is very friendly and helpful. We stayed at Yurt 1, which worked great for us because we had two young children. They had a blast. I would not recommend the yurts for someone looking for more privacy, because they are right by the boat launch and there is constant activity. But we enjoyed our time very much. We will return and maybe try other campsites. I loved the yurts but its too bad they are right by the boat launch. I can see it getting extremely busy (and loud) during salmon fishing season.
@MariiaT5D5BB50 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025
The yurt is freezing cold at night and located at close proximity to the other yurt, no privacy
@CraigC6363433 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025
It's a long drive from Highway 20 to get to Swift Creek, and while the lake and grounds were beautiful, we felt it is best experienced with non-motorized water craft, which we didn't have. Without a boat, one cannot see a view of Mount Baker from the campground. Latrines were well-maintained and immaculatethe cleanest I've ever seen at a park campgroundthanks to our charming campground hosts. Our campsite was lackluster, but other sites looked far more appealing; a consequence for registering late. A great place to swim in the lake, if you can stand water that cold.

The yurt is very clean, the view is great!
@DundasW7D64F99 · Camped on Jun 24, 2025
We enjoy Swift Creek. We like the layout of the campsite and the campsites. Also, improvements have been made to access the swimming area and the large pieces of wood have been cleaned out. Although, the large rocks on the beach are hard on the feet.
@LoriH2572605 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025
We love this campground and go every year. The team that manages this campground are first rate!!! Everything is clean and ready to go when you show up. Campsites, bathrooms, swimming area, boat launch and docks are beautiful. Not to forget the view are amazing.
@MelanieF410615 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025
This is our 3rd time staying at Swift Creek. Weve been camping at Baker Lake for 40 years (and have fond memories of visiting the resortaka now swift creek campground back in the day for forgotten items) but recently started staying in campgrounds. Its well maintained, clean restrooms, and has a nice dock. We like the double sites for our big family. The upgraded swimming area is great too!!
@JessicaS159432 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #23
One of the best campgrounds we've been to at baker lake. Clean, quiet, has a dock to leave our boat at so we don't have to pull in and out. I was worried with some of the other reviews, but we stayed in campsite 26. Mild dust, but it does have a good boarder of vegetation yo block it. Dust is mainly from cars driving dobfast entering the campgoub.... slow down. Its pretty secluded from other camps. Lots of berries for kids to pick and places to put up hammocks. Definitely no complaints.
@JohnG7676070 · Camped on Jun 10, 2025 at Campsite #13
Liked our campsite and the the campground ground was well maintained including the vault toilet. We were there the last week before summer crowds so it was extra nice. Will go back in September.
@BrendaC5352279 · Camped on Jun 5, 2025
Absolutely gorgeous, peaceful and wonderful place to camp!!!! We love the lake, the volcano views from the lake, the creek area and the camping spots. We love seeing the bald eagles, so many other birds, deer, fish, etc The walking and hiking trails, the campsites, bathrooms, everything is kept up so well and so much fun- one of our favorite spots!!
@BerlinWB491E05 · Camped on Sep 20, 2024
Good bathrooms and nice campsites
@DianaF3302976 · Camped on Sep 19, 2024 at Campsite #26
The site was easy to find and well maintained. The pit toilets were clean and easy to find from our site. I do wish there was an auto/solar powered light inside when in use, but I was able to use a flashlight.
@RichardK312994 · Camped on Sep 6, 2024
Unfortunately the camp host has been aware of a homeless man leaving bing in the woods who regularly steals food from unsuspecting campers. This has happened to dozens of campers and has been going on since May!! A simple flyer posted on bathroom doors could alert folks to lock up their ice chests inside their cars. There is no excuse for the lack of notification. Just shear laziness
@KarenM8822647 · Camped on Sep 3, 2024
I have been camping for 60 years and have never had anything taken. Apparently there is a homeless thief that is taking food on a daily basis. I had all of my food taken, and my cooler rifled through. The camp host was hostile and defensive, with no food I had to leave my campsite unattended while I went back to town, to purchase more food. I love that campground with so much beauty, access to good hiking, and water sports. It's unfortunate that the people in charge have so little regard for the campers and their well being.
@DarleenG062BEC · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #31
I have been visiting Swift Creek campground over 15 years and this is a spectacular place to enjoy the outdoors. There is a great swim area and the views are breath taking. Bring your water toys, bug spray and be prepared to have an excellent time off the grid.
@JiawenY11B5C70 · Camped on Aug 15, 2024
The yurt is a new and fantastic experience for my family. Except the location is so close to the boat launch, which is quite noisy starting from 3:30am. Sometimes diesel smell from the boats were strong, too. Washrooms are well-maintained and kept clean. If you have a boat or kayak or paddle board, definitely bring it with you. the baker lake is a must go. I will for sure go back to this campground.
@JakeW3561390 · Camped on Aug 12, 2024 at Campsite #17
Lots of fun! The lake is gorgeous and the campground is spacious, lots of room from site to site.
@KimberlyH57940 · Camped on Aug 7, 2024 at Campsite #16
Beautiful campground and we had a great time at the beach. Make sure to lock up your stuff in your site when you leave it.
@DustinP7F4E59E · Camped on Aug 5, 2024
Such an amazing place. Only complaint, if you can even call it that, is no showers. This is some of the most amazing water I have seen in the state. 5 stars
@TerraKE7C6E877 · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #30

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
