Pine Lake Campground

Pine Lake Campground offers basic camping amenities in a forest setting. The campground features individual campsites, some with picnic tables and fire rings. Toilet facilities are available on-site. The campground has a more rustic experience, so don't expect showers or electrical hookups. The campground layout includes a trail that passes through the area, which creates a somewhat busy atmosphere as day visitors frequently walk through.

Pine Lake offers several recreational opportunities for visitors. The lake is suitable for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. Hiking is popular, with a trail system that connects through the campground and extends into the surrounding forest. Wildlife viewing and photography are enjoyable activities due to the natural forest setting. Bird watching can be rewarding in the early mornings. Be aware that the campground trails receive regular foot traffic throughout the day from non-campers, which may affect the serenity of your camping experience.

From Bellingham, head east on WA-542 (Mount Baker Highway) for approximately 20-25 miles. Watch for signage to Pine Lake Campground, which will direct you to turn onto a forest service road. The campground is located in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest area. The drive typically takes around 35-45 minutes, depending on traffic and weather conditions. During winter months, road access may be limited due to snow, so check current conditions before traveling.
