Thousand Trails Birch Bay

Managed by Thousand Trails, Birch Bay sits in Blaine, Washington with full hookup sites accommodating RVs up to 52 feet, plus amenities including showers, WiFi, and a dump station. Reservations are available, but worth noting: the park does not assign specific spots, so RV sites remain first come, first served on arrival. All roads through the campground are gravel.

The layout splits into two phases with noticeably different conditions. Phase 1 sites are straight back-ins positioned so close together that slideouts can come within inches of neighboring rigs. Phase 2 sites run wider with more room between rigs, though reviews from 2023 describe the grass as dead and the overall grounds as lacking maintenance. Site quality has drawn mixed feedback, while bathrooms and showers have drawn consistent praise. B B. describes the facilities as "single rooms not shared, very private and sparkling clean." Staff friendliness comes up repeatedly as a genuine strength.

The surrounding area gives campers access to paddleboarding, biking, and live music in town, all within a reasonable distance of the campground. Nearby alternatives worth comparing include Birch Bay Resort to the south and Beachside RV Park for those wanting to weigh options in the area. Pets are allowed. Thousand Trails Birch Bay makes the most sense for Thousand Trails members with large rigs who prioritize hookup access and clean bath facilities over spacious, well-maintained sites.

Many campers appreciated the clean facilities and friendly staff, while site conditions vary significantly between phases. Several reviews noted cramped spacing in Phase 1, though bathroom quality consistently impressed visitors.

Awful, we left upon arrival

Won't let me give zero stars. So I donated$200 plus, and stayed long enough to drive phase 1 and phase 2 loops, and then left and drove 1 hour and 1/2 home. RED FLAG: First, they take reservations but do not reserve a spot for you; rv spots are first come first serve. RED FLAG: No specific photos of RV SITES on website. All roads are gravel. Phase 1 are all straight back in and not angled. You literally butt against the rv directly behind with maybe 12 inches separating you. The slidouts were literally inches away from neighbors. The only thing green were the weeds around the power and water poles. Phase 1 was bascially a refugee camp. The rv pads were weeds, grass, and some gravel. This area is not maintained at all. Phase two was full, with no trees. Grass dead. Nothing green except weeds. Sites were big and wide. It's was dreary and sad. There were two other RV'S circling and appeared to as shocked as us. I've seen better dog parks. I called my friend who wanted a review after our stay as he had a reservation in September. Needless to say he cancelled his reservation. The beach is not walking distance I would never consider this park ever and plan on leaving this review anywhere I can. The photos in other reviews here look nothing like what I saw today.

Cute Park & town

The staff is super friendly and on top of everything, very well mannered and trained. Main areas are getting updated now which will make this place even better in the future. Bathrooms/showers are single rooms not shared, very private and sparkling clean! Lots to do here on site, but get out and explore the town. You're sure to have a good time here.

Extra nice bathrooms

Nice place, friendly staff best Thousand Trails so far. They have all the usual amenities for resort. 2 phases for RVs - phase 1 spots are so close you could very well “spare a square” of TP to your neighbor. Phase 2 has a lot more room to spread out and it’s nice. But the most surprising was the very nice bathrooms! Definitely would stay here again.

Cute camp ground

We enjoyed our stay. Our nephews came to visit and enjoyed the pool and small nature trails around camp. There is a lot to do around town all within biking distance. We paddle boarding in the bays!! Great blues bands in town. Only problem I had was having to pay $10.00 for our guests just to park their cars by our campsite!! We are THOUSAND TRAILS ADVENTURES!!! NOT OK
