A forested campground near fishing, and hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Bakers Run Campground sits in the wooded hills on the shores of Sutton Lake and alongside tributaries of the Elk River, a stretch of water noted for the state's highest species diversity; anglers here commonly fish for bass, crappie, catfish, bluegill and walleye, and you'll see fishermen along Tunnel Road and other lake accesses. The site offers 75 campsites all 75 can accommodate both RVs and tents placed among shady forest and open spaces that bring wildlife into view: wild turkeys, whitetail deer and other woodland species are often heard or sighted because the campground is surrounded by the Elk River Wildlife Management Area.
Length limits vary by campsite.
Limited electric sites.
Showers on site.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (3,548 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
