This was our 2nd trip to Union Creek CG and this visit, like our first, was very nice! Lots of space between campers, remote location (yet close enough to Baker City), and easy access to the water make this a great spot. I'm sure that we will return!

Quietest campground in the West. Camp hosts make it very enjoyable as they are personable and professional and take very good care of the campground.

Nice campsite, will fit two cars comfortably if you don’t have a trailer. Bathrooms are really clean. Phillip’s Lake doesn’t have a lot of shade, so bring a sun shelter or sunscreen. Close to a cute small town, Sumpter. Would recommend for a nice getaway.

Great to see that Phillips Reservoir was up to 66% of capacity and the boat ramp dock in the water for the first time in 2-3 years.
Fishing was poor but swimming and paddling were fun. Campfires were still allowed when we visited.
