Baker's Run Campground

About this site

Bakers Run Campground is one of the best kept secrets in West Virginia. It rests among shady forests and flowing tributaries of the Elk River, which has the highest species diversity and richness of any river in the entire state. This makes the fishing excellent for bass, crappie, catfish, bluegill, and walleye. Bakers Run is surrounded by the Elk River Wildlife Management Area, campers will hear turkeys gobble and see whitetail deer along with other wildlife as a part of their experience. Choose from 77 sites. There are eight full hook-up campsites, 26 electric campsites, and 44 primitive campsites. Along with the lake, recreation opportunities include a playground with swings, horseshoe pits, bean bag toss, volleyball area, and basketball court. There is a shower house and restroom inside the campground. Additional Info: Sutton Lake offers boating with a launch ramp and no-wake zone in the campground. Each site has a paved parking spur, picnic table, fire ring, and grill. The campground is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and is generally open early May to late September. Cell service is limited.
