The water was higher than the last several years, so kayaking was great. Phillips Lake is close to Sumpter, which is a sweet little rural town. This is my second stay in three years and the campground was spacious and quiet both times. It’s a great place to hang out or use as a central point for exploring the Baker valley, Elkhorn & Blue Mountains.

Campsite was roomy/not super close to neighbors, although they were visible, and close to bathrooms. Used a tent, but would be great for RV.
