Shannon Creek Campground

Recreation.gov classified this site as RV ready for a 30 foot trailer. Not so. I spent an hour with the camp host cutting back the brush and tree limbs to get my RV in the site. Worst of all the is that Recreation.gov did not advertise that there is a three mile uninproved dirt road littered with deep pot holes, like a mine field. I do not recommend anyone take a 30 foot RV in there.

The camp host was great, The scenery is beautiful and peaceful..

There a numerous Forest Service campgrounds on the road following the shoreline of Baker Lake. Shannon Creek is the last one on the road making for a more secluded place. The last several miles are a typical fairly rough gravel road with washboard and a few potholes. The FS is currently working on some upgrades so our site had the benefit of a new table😁 Many of the sites aren’t level so leveling blocks came in handy. Most people here had kayaks or paddle boards and there was easy access into the lake on a gravel beach. We were here for hiking so the lake was wonderful at the end of a hot day for a cool swim. If you don’t want to negotiate the gravel road I would suggest staying at Swift Creek campground which is the last campground on the paved road. I drove through it and the large loop to the left on entering has many lovely shaded flat sites in the trees.
