Set in a blue cove between Bellingham and Blaine, Birch Bay State Park feels private and secluded without being far from urban life.
Stroll along the rocky beach and take in dramatic views of the North Cascades Mountains and Canadian Gulf Islands. Or head up the Terrell Marsh interpretive trail to a rare saltwater and freshwater estuary teeming with birds and wildlife, including great blue herons.
Low tide reveals a wide mudflat with a treasure trove of clams and other shellfish that can be harvested in season. Bring out the pails, shovels, mud boots and licenses, and start digging! If you prefer to swim, Birch Bay is known for its relatively warm water, and if you'd rather be on the water, the park offers excellent crabbing, windsurfing, sailing and paddling.
Staying overnight? Birch bay camping has a basketball court and environmental education programs in summer ensure fun for the whole family. If you're looking for a side trip, the U.S.- Canada border town of Blaine and the fascinating Peace Arch State Park are only 9 miles north, and the lively university city of Bellingham is 20 miles south. You can always spend an evening in town and return to the beachy bliss of Birch Bay.

This is a beautiful campground with plenty of hiking opportunities and gorgeous views. It’s close to a highway so you can hear the road but not a ton of traffic through the campground. We stayed on the Quarry Pond side which seems a bit smaller and more private. Nice wide open campsites with a power hookup and clean water. Plenty of amenities nearby as well, the 76 gas station on the edge of the campground is full of supplies; food wise and gear wise. Doesn’t feel so isolated and in the middle of nowhere but still plenty out of the city.
Beautiful, excellently maintained campground with clean bathrooms and free showers. Setting is really beautiful and there are many things to see and do that are close by. Campsite was immaculate and large with a fire pit and picnic table.
We called early afternoon and asked if they had a space for that night for a fifth wheel with total rig length 53ft. Nice grass around all the campsites, 50 Amp electricity, water and sewer. Picnic table at every site. Lovely location but it can be noisy due to proximity to road and navy jets. Overall a great place I will stay again.
We live about a 20 min drive from silver lake. We go often , sometimes to just go hike around the trails and have lunch, we also take day trips to the lake there and go kayaking and ALWAYS have fun there nice big lake and fun for the kiddos too! Easy boat launch access! And we do camp there a couple times a year we love the camp site layouts and availability
This area was perfect! Took a nice stroll along the road after dinner. Didn’t really run into any other campers.
Reservable campsites, mature forest, 2 hours from Seattle, not full on Labor Day weekend! I didn’t know that existed. It’s a nice small campground on the Mountain Loop Highway. It has very dense trees and a small beach on a creek for wading. Hiking trails and a larger river are a short drive away.
We ABSOLUTELY ENJOYED CAMPING here !! We live about 15 mins away and will be returning!!! We lived in a travel trailer for 2 years myself my wife and 3 children and from time to time we miss it ! The kids have been missing a lot them selves and we went tent camping here for first time after living in our trailer and we had an amazing time there! Big out space with plenty of availability! Clean out house for the kiddos! Fire pits ,wild life , and really peaceful! Thank u guys for letting us camp with u will be back soon
We found an amazing site right on the lake, with great views and it was fairly quiet. There were a couple people who decided to have campfires despite the statewide burn ban in effect, which was a bit of a bummer. Despite that, great campground with toilets, picnic table, fire ring (when allowed), and lots of trees for hammocking. Loved our weekend here!
This was our first trip in a new trailer, and the park is close to home for us, so perfect for our maiden voyage. Shaded sites, some hookup (water/electric), but most unserviced. Water close by for filling our tank. Short walk to an amazing beach.
Staff was very friendly. We stayed in the overflow site directly next to the office with 20 amp electric only. Campground is well-maintained and very clean. Sites are a little close together, but you do have some green space with a picnic table at each site. Each site is full hook up with water, electric and sewer, and there is not a separate dump station. There are some permanent residents throughout the campground.
If you need wifi to plan your next days this location is not for you. Wifi available at the lodge only and very slow. Except for that the site is big, nothing specific regarding amenities
If you think all the spots are taken, keep driving. So many spots along Baker Lake Road.
Late July, there’s a lot of partying on the lake. It’s not so bad but you’ll definitely hear people having fun.
Great campground. Love the lake. Easy access for our kayak. Beautiful lake for fishing as well. The cleanest restrooms and showers that I have ever experienced camping. We have been here three times now. No sewer, but the dump area is quiet and efficient. Beautiful woods and hiking available as well. We will be back.
Beautiful spot near the water also has some more secluded spots if wanted. Didn’t see too many people. And had no issues picking a spot to car camp. Definitely recommend.
Nobody else had vacancy. Sauk Mountain Woodland Waters was able to accommodate us, and last-minute, too! Owners live on the property - not too close but not too far, either. They gave us some carrots to feed their goats, too!
Nice little stream-side spot. Really easy to get to, yet once there I felt a million miles away.
Beautiful spot, great views of the water and so peaceful. As far as campgrounds go, it wasn’t anything special, except the proximity to the water. Campsites are close together and not much privacy to speak of, and most of the sites are on a slope. We had T-Mobile connection via Canada. Despite any drawbacks of the campground itself, we absolutely fell in love with the island, and will probably be back (we like to explore and don’t often return to places we’ve been).
My husband and I visited the Bowman Bay campground to celebrate our second wedding anniversary and it was one of the best camping trips we've had! This campground was lovely, a smaller campground right on the beach with great hiking trails to Lottie Point and Lighthouse Point. If you are going to camp at this campground, get campsite 279! It is by far the best one in this campground! It is not RV accessible however.
It's a large site that is a bit more elevated than the rest, with a wall of foliage behind it and no immediate neighbor campsites (the nearest on is on the other side of your parking spot, but your parking spot is beside your campsite and not near it.) It's a really lovely campsite.
This is one of our go to for a quick weekend getaway several sites are big enough to put 3 rigs in
Close to Bellingham, Spots are veryyyy Close together, Walk to Beach and the View Priceless. Paid over $ 50 for one Night with Electric and than they shut the Power off at 10 PM????? No Discounts
It’s free! Beautiful view. Very serene. No facilities! The drive in is easy.
Each site has grass with central grass stip. Site is well maintained with showers shared with Marina. Clean excellent wifi and At&t. booked online they did not confirm until we called. Not crowded at all.
Clean, quiet perfect camping location. Site 35 is a double lot - didn’t know that when booking. It is a little bit more exposed then some of the other sites available but still had a lovely time.
We have stayed here several times and enjoyed it each time. Full 50 amp hookups, gravel pull through spaces. It is quiet here even though the train comes by every evening at idle speed. Our diesel trucks are louder than the train. No showers but there are restrooms to the right as soon as you go in and there is a workout room. You just need a one get a daily pass for the workout room. You can email or call them for a spot and they will email you the spot number and instructions. No need to go in at all, unless you want to go in. I suggest going in and checking out the entire Casino and Lodge. The staff is fantastic and the place is very clean.
Be quick with your reservation and get place number 15 if your with an rv, get 16 if your having a tent ! What a beautiful view you have, you will see otters and maybe whales
Went in May. Free camping before the season starts and lots of free spots. Very pretty spot and toilet were fine
