Panorama Point Campground

This popular National Forest campground is situated mid-way up the lake basin along the western shore of Baker Lake, approximately 19 miles from State Route 20. Tent and trailer campsites are nestled within a forested setting on the lake. A day use picnic area offers panoramic views of the lake.

Drinking water is available but water is not for hose hookups, RV users will have to fill up somewhere else. There is a large and paved boat launch parking area at the entrance to the campground.

During Sockeye fishing season use at the paved boat launch is extremely heavy and parking becomes limited.

Visit Recreation.gov for fee and reservation information, open season dates, and first-come first-serve availability.
