Construction at Baker Campground for electrical upgrades
In fall 2025 and spring 2026, a project to upgrade campsite electrical service at the Baker Campground is scheduled to take place in loops B, D, G and F. The project will upgrade campsite electrical service where it presently exists and install new electrical service to select loops that previously have been non-electric. It will increase the number of electrified sites and ensure the service provided at electrified sites is uniform throughout the campground.
During construction, the affected loops will be unavailable for use. Other areas of the campground are anticipated to remain open normal hours with limited impacts due to construction. The project is expected to begin after Labor Day 2025 and be complete early in the summer of 2026.
