About

Maple Grove Campground is a backcountry destination located 4 miles along Baker Lake Trail 610 in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. A short 0.3-mile spur trail leads from the main trail down to the campground, which sits at the edge of Baker Lake. The site is popular with both hikers traveling the 14-mile Baker Lake Trail and boaters who access it from the water. The campground features seven designated tent sites equipped with picnic tables, fire pits, and bear boxes for food storage. There are no toilets or potable water at this location; campers must filter or treat water from the lake or nearby streams. All trash must be packed out. As a backcountry site, there are no fees and camping is first-come, first-served. The surrounding area offers excellent opportunities for fishing, wildlife viewing, and connecting to other backcountry camps along Baker Lake Trail including Anderson Point, Silver Creek, and Noisy Creek. Visitors should be aware that food must be stored in a bear-resistant manner as required throughout the forest.
