Berthusen City Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Camping at Berthusen City Park comes with a significant restriction most visitors don't expect: the site is reserved exclusively for organized youth groups, such as scout troops, and requires advance coordination with the city of Lynden. Tents only. General visitors must leave by dusk. This policy applies across all Lynden parks, so anyone arriving without a group reservation will not be permitted to stay overnight. Campers planning a trip to Whatcom County who need open-access overnight options will find campgrounds near Lynden or nearby sites like Lynden/Bellingham KOA worth considering instead.

Youth groups only

Shout out to Lynden, WA for having an impressive number of parks for its size. This one is technically available for camping but ONLY for youth groups, e.g. scouts and the like, and they need to be reserved and worked out with the city well in advance. The city will provide all necessary rules and regulations (like, tents only) but they aren’t super relevant to the general public, as if you aren’t in a youth group with a reservation you have to leave at dusk. This is true of all the other parks in Lynden too, so be aware.
