U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - Baxter Campground

We enjoyed our visit to Baxter Campground! We will definitely come back. The swim beach and area is nice and has a beautiful view all day long! The shower house has 4 units with toilet and sink in each one. Playground is nice too. Lots of dogs when we were there, but they were not loud and there wasn’t much barking at all. You’ll definitely need lake shoes because it’s all rock and something to float on. There’s a Dollar General about 15 mins or less from the campground that had tubs to float on. It was a beautiful place to camp!

Baxter was cool. Felt weird having the rangers drive through so often. No host but rangers knocked on our door after a couple days around 9 o'clock at night to "check us in" The road to get here is windy, and the locals have no qualms about going the speed limit.

Campground is way too crowded. People were parking their boats in front of their sites, blocking the road. Made it really hard for larger campers to get in. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I was amazed to see one tent campsite had a lavatory tent in front of their campsite.

We're going to this campground a few times per year,and we always enjoy it. I wish the bathrooms were air conditioned it would be a great benefit ,other than that it's not a bad place at all to go to,plenty of room and great views. That's the only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5. The host is very generous and helpful and it is very clean there also.

Great campground with marina. Has 4 family style bathrooms with showers, cleaned twice daily and very clean. Flooded right now but great sunsets. Ice is 6 miles away (after 5pm) so grab on your way in. No laundry. Very quiet, paved not gravel slips. Playground for kids and lots of trees for hammocks.
