Anyone camped at Baker Lake?

This is so horribly last minute, but we are trying to plan a camping trip with friends for this weekend. They were really wanting to go to Baker Lake. I see there are several campgrounds up there listed as "first come, first serve". Does anyone know anything about camping up there, specifically how quickly those spaces would fill up on a holiday weekend?

I've never camped there but in my first come first served experience in the area you'd need to get there on Wed to get aspotfor the holiday weekend

That was what I suspected. Thanks Emy!

My brother and family camp there often. While they usually reserve ahead of time, I know there have been times they went without a reservation on Thurs or early Fri, and had no issues. But... That's a normal, non-holiday weekend. So I guess I'm not very helpful.

Yes! We used to go all the time! Bring bug spray! You will be eaten alive if you do not! We had to leave early because I had soooo many mosquito bites. I would think that you would have to get there early, like Thursday to get one of those spots.
