The campground sits at an elevation of 6,500 feet in a pine forest setting, offering opportunities for wildlife viewing, fishing, and scenic enjoyment. Sites include picnic tables and fire pits, with potable water available throughout the campground. Vault toilets serve the facility, and firewood is available for purchase from the camp host.

Bakers Hole provides convenient access to Yellowstone National Park's west entrance while offering a quieter alternative to park campgrounds. The Madison River corridor is known for excellent fly fishing, and the surrounding national forest offers additional opportunities for dispersed camping, hiking, and exploring the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
