Service Changes: Due to essential maintenance, the following changes will be implemented this year:

- Campground/Marina Flush Restrooms/Showers: Closed.

- Day Use Flush Restrooms: Closed.

- RV Dump Station: Closed.

- Portable Restrooms and Handwashing Stations: Provided for your convenience.

- Campground Schedule: Opens April 18, 2024 and closes September 30, 2024.

- Day Use Group Sites: Closed.

- Day Use Overflow Parking: Closed.

Why the Changes are Necessary: Lane County Parks has leased Baker Bay Park from the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) since 1976. The current wastewater system, designed by the USACE, has been evaluated as being in Poor to Fair condition. As a result, Lane County Parks has securedfunding from the American Rescue Plan Act to address deficiencies in the system. Civil West Engineering Services has been awarded a contract to assess and design a long-term wastewater solution. Due to recurring pipe failures during the assessment process, the pressurized pipeline has been temporarily shut down, leading to the indefinite closure of flush restroom and shower facilities. The park will remain open during the summer season with portable restroom facilities. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this necessary maintenance period. Once the technical assessment is finalized in early 2024, Civil West will begin the design and engineering work toward a long-term solution. Furthermore, we are actively working with the USACE to secure a new lease as the current one expires on February 28, 2024.

Can I bring a Bounce house?
Please be aware that bounce houses, dunk tanks, slip-n-slides, and all habitable inflatables are prohibited within Lane County Parks.
This rule is in place to uphold the safety standards of our parks and to prevent any potential accidents or injuries associated with these types of equipment. While we understand the appeal of these inflatables, their use poses safety risks that we cannot overlook. How do I book a wedding, reunion, or other special event?

Most reservable areas include picnic tables, bbq grills, electricity, water, and serving areas.
