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!

While our stay was short we had a great time. The guys went fishing and the ladies went hiking. Some of our friends have a cabin in Sumpter so we visited them one afternoon. In the evening our brother-in-law's cousin was there too and we visited with them twice. The cousin is a musician and he sang and played the guitar with anyone welcome to come and listen, visit etc.
I LOVED the hiking and seeing the wildlife. The guys caught some fish. Such a beautiful area!

Union Creek is a regular stop over for me on a mostly work-related road trip I take between Utah and Washington. I love the bike trail around the lake and seeing the wildlife. The camp ground is always in great shape, the restrooms are clean, and the fellow campers and hosts are nice. It's a beautiful location.
