Great campground with rare huge sites with hookups. Most sites in B & C are far away from each other too. A loop are a little closer together. It is a walk down to the lake- more so on our visit as the lake was only about 30% full.

Great campground! The sites are large and far apart. There are nice hiking trails around the lake with beautiful sunsets and mountain views. It is not far from Sumpter with historic sites and a fun restaurant. However, the lake is very low this year. It was difficult to launch our kayaks.

I love this campground and will probably be coming back sometime in the next coming years. The only thing that I wish was a little different is that the bathrooms are a long ways away from our group site.

Full campground, but didn't feel like it Lot's of space. The bathrooms were very clean, even though the lake water level was low because of the dry winter, it's was excellent place to camp.

The campground is great however the lake is really low this year. Only 24% full. The facility offered everything we needed, including ice and wood for purchase. The Camp Hosts were awesome. So helpful!

Campsites are spread out more than most campgrounds, providing privacy. Camp hosts do not bother you and are very friendly

Beautiful, well-maintained campground, not far from Baker City. The bathrooms were clean, garbage cans and water spickets were plentiful. The sites were large gravel with picnic table and fire pits. Phillips Lake was low and accessibility was a little tricky, but we were still able to fish. This campground was the perfect location to explore the area, including the Sumpter Dredge. Camp hosts were friendly and very present. I would definitely stay here again!

Sites are well spread out. Definitely the quietest, occupied campground I’ve ever visited. I didn’t see the camp host, but I also didn’t go looking for them either. The lake and trees were absolutely beautiful. I will stay here again!
