Horseshoe Cove Campground

We stayed at Horseshoe Cove Campground on Baker Lake, campsite # 23, in July 2023. The lake itself was very nice with a swim area and boat launch. The campground was fine, no hookups, no dump station, we found one water spiket with a threaded faucet to fill our fresh water tank. #23 was large and level with a small view of the lake through the trees. Our issues had to do with day-use people; boat engines revving all hours of the day & night; and the campground hosts having their off-duty sign up the entire time. Day-use people completely took over the swim beach during the weekend. Many left trash, a couple had uncontrolled aggressive dogs, & some smoked pot. Boat owners zoomed all over Baker Lake which could be heard as late as 11 PM and as early as 4 AM. There was no evidence of the hosts trying to request compliance with rules and they definitely did not clean the swim beach area. Too bad, it should have been a better camping experience.

Camp ground was great. Beautiful scenery. The only issue was the field mouse climbing into our vehicles. We had our food stored away in bins and coolers inside the vehicle in hopes of not attracting the bears, which I did see a mom and a cub just outside the entrance to camp.

Great place for swimming or using as a base to go hiking. The family and I love it, you are right on the shore, and you can get peak a boo views of Baker on one of the connecting trails between campgrounds.

10/10 a great place to get away
