We've camped here for about 10 years and love it. However, this last 3 day experience was dampened by the fact that the restrooms in campground #2 were really dirty, even after the crew had just finished. Black mold in the men's showers, diahrrea splattered in the same stool the 3 days we were there, trash and hairballs in the women's showers were not picked up, stool seats never wiped off or stools cleaned with a brush. Cleanliness is very important to most people. (Other campers felt the same as we did) We had just come from Hawn State Park the night before. We've been staying there for about the last 10 years also. It is very clean! My 7 year old granddaughter did not want to take a shower at Baker. In fact, she cried having to step into the mess. We complained several times and the crew were sent to do clean up. A hose and pink stuff thrown in the stools doesn't get the job done. Apparently they have either never been shown the proper way to clean a restroom or they don't care.
Positives: The creek to swin in. The restaurant and store. Good food and nice selection of gift items in store. I could have done my Christmas shopping there. Friendliness of employees (except for restroom cleaning crew). I never said a word to them, I promise.
Negatives: Gross bathrooms and showers (They were fine last year). The dryers take forever. Do back of dryer lines need to have lint removed?

Our family has been going to Sam A Baker Park for the last 30 years, first camping , then the last ten years staying in the cabins. The park is a wonderful place for families with beautiful clear water to swim in, many hiking trails,a nice paved bike path. There are many nature programs for kids. Our granchildre look forward to their week at Sam Baker and spending hours playing and swimming in the river.
Positives: The staff at the store are extremely helpful, and Jody and Mike do all they can to make your visit a great experience
Negatives: The only thing I would like to see is the lodge hours expanded a little, other than that it is a perfect place.
