Panorama Point Campground

This popular campground is situated mid-way up the lake basin along the western shore of Baker Lake, approximately 19 miles from State Route 20. With several sites located at the lake's edge and others in close vicinity, Panorama Point Campground offers visitors the ideal opportunity to camp near shoreline or under a canopy of trees. 

Tent and trailer campsites are nestled within a forested setting on the lake. There is a large and paved boat launch parking area at the entrance to the campground. A day use picnic area offers panoramic views of the lake.

In addition to being a prime location for boating, fishing, swimming, and picnicking , hikers and backpackers are especially fortunate to have access to a variety of spectacular trails along the lake and in the nearby Mt. Baker National Recreation Area

The Baker Lake and Baker River Trails are family friendly hikes that are a short drive from the campground. The Baker Lake trail starts on the south end of the lake in a stand of Douglas fir and travels 13 miles above the eastern shoreline of Baker Lake. The Baker River Trail starts at the north end of the lake and follows the river 2.25 miles upstream, through large old-growth into North Cascades National Park.
