Bayview North and Bayview South Group Campgrounds are somewhat rustic and nestled tightly into the forest along the banks of Baker Lake across from Horseshoe Cove Campground. These campgrounds at one time were intended to become single site campgrounds and still may be someday, but for now they are meant for groups like scouts or church groups that want individual sites in one location but would like the isolation from other campers. And they would like to be able to save money on fees by paying as a group rather than paying for 5 or more individual sites. The campground is reserveable or may be available on a first come - first serve basis from the Horseshoe Cove host if no one has reserved to use it. The host at Horseshoe oversees five group campgrounds in the area, so it is not unlikely that there may be something available, but you are taking a chance if you don't have a reservation. Keys for the gate lock are available from the Horseshoe Cove Host. THERE IS NO DRINKING WATER AT THE BAYVIEW GROUP CAMPGROUNDS
