      Glamping!

      We had Nevas Canvas Tent #6. It was amazing! Glamping at its finest! King size bed was super comfy. We had a huge deck overlooking one of the three lakes. Our tent also had a bathroom w/ a toilet and shower, an electrIc heater, a trundle bed/couch, and electrical outlets. They currently have 6 of these Nevas tents, 16 canvas tents (w/o water/restrooms/electricity), 6 huge log cabins, 7 yurts (w small kitchens), 37 or so camping sites, 4 RV sites, and an Airstream you can rent. There is also a traditional lodge (not sure how many rooms, but it looked nice). Canvas tents and lodge come w/ breakfast. We will for sure come back!

      Hidden Village RV Park & Campground

      Great price, very nice manager lady.

      I rented a long term space here for over 2 years while working in Washington. Price was by far the best around. It's a very good sized place with spaces to accommodate even the largest trailers. Even when full there's room to maneuver.Full hookups, wifi, bathrooms, shower, laundry room, swimming pool. Has seperate parking for boats, utility trailers etc. Lots of big trees around for a fair amount of shade. Is pet friendly. Manager lady is very nice. Has a separate non power section for tents or dry camping. It's not the fanciest but for the price is great.

      Deception Pass State Park Campground

      Cozy campsites !

      There were SO MANY available campsites when we got there. About mid afternoon. The ranger was super friendly and welcoming! The bathrooms were nice and had showers that require tokens that you can buy with your site at check in. The sites vary in size and shape but most of them are decently private/ spaced apart. The site next to us never got booked, probably because it was small, but it was nice for us because it was only a few bushes away. Sites include a picnic table and fire ring with grill grate . There was a trail to the beach not far from us and it was super nice. Although there are plenty of signs that require dogs to be on leashes most people did not adhere to those rules, so keep an eye out if you're bringing the doggos. Very family friendly, very cozy, very nice stay!

      Howard Miller Steelhead County Park

      Stayed two nights

      What a lovely campground! There’s a day use area with a bathroom and picnic tables right before entering into the campground. This place allows you to pay to park in the lots for $15/night if you are occupying it which is nice when the campground is full. There’s trash bins located throughout the campground as well as restrooms and shower houses (quarters needed). Dump station is $5. Several free options to pick from based on your setup. If you are paying to overnight park in the parking lot, you technically are not supposed to be using any of the amenities within the campground itself including the shower. If you speak with the Office and allow to pay them directly. They are very accommodating to allow you the bathroom code for the showers. They ask you only stay one night in the parking lot but you can ask for an extra night but get approval.

      There’s a bar and grill across the road with pizza and dog friendly. There’s trails around the campground to walk. Very pretty views of the water at half the sites. Camp hosts were very kind and came around at night to check to make sure everyone paid to stay so make sure you do if you are in the parking lot! Had fantastic ATT service and was able to work well. Varied from 3-4 bars of 5G. Only 30 minutes from NC NP entrance. Definitely would stay here again!

      Lakedale Resort

      Family oriented campground with a great location

      I reserved a "family campsite" for tent camping with a friend this past week. The campground has a great location and is easily accessible from all that the San Juan Island has to offer. The sites are large and well appointed, ours was in a nice wooded area, had two picnic tables, a nice fire pit with grill and multiple flat spots for our tent. The sites don't offer a ton of privacy and we were surrounded by large groups of families, which was a bit noisy. We arrived at this campground after spending the 3 prior nights in the backcountry, so we were pretty excited to take advantage of the bathhouse and shower facilities. We may have just caught the campground at a bad time, but we were shocked to see how filthy the bathrooms and showers were. The showers were ice cold and looked like they hadn't been cleaned in weeks. The price was also rather steep ($66/night for the most basic camp site offered) but understandable considering the lack of availability for campsites during the high season on the island.

      Overall, I would definitely recommend this campground to a family looking for fun activities for the kids while staying on the island. The resort also offers many other types of accommodations that I would be interested to try in the future including cabins, airstream trailers and "glamping" canvas tents!

      Lovely little “cabins”

      Mt. Baker Lodging - Cabin #95 - Hot Tub, BBQ, Fireplace, WiFi, Pets Ok, Sleeps-4!

      Perfect Basecamp for a ski weekend

      I booked this cabin through Mt. Baker lodgings which has about 100 properties in this area to choose from. It was the perfect spot to access and ski Mt. Baker for 3 days while on vacation.

      The check-in process and finding the cabin was super easy just make sure you know where to check-in prior to leaving a cell service area as service is basically non-existent when you get there.

      The cabin had everything we needed from kitchen utensils to linens, to a washer and dryer not to mention some added perks like the grill, hot tub, and fireplace. This cabin has 2 full-size queen beds, a foldout futon in the living room, and 2 bathrooms. It was super spacious!

      The cabin was near Glacier, WA which is the closest town to Mt. Baker and has a small assortment of stores although I would recommend you buy the bulk of your groceries beforehand as a selection in the area is limited.

      All in all, this was the perfect spot for a few days of skiing at Mt. Baker. It was so easy to access the ski area and the cabin was the ideal getaway in the mossy forests of Northern Washington. It was tucked away in a thickly forested neighborhood full of similar houses which were great for walking. The nearby river also was a great spot for a short hike.  I will definitely be staying here again!


    Guide to Bellingham

    Cabin camping near Bellingham, Washington offers accommodations in evergreen-rich forests with over 250 inches of annual rainfall. Several campgrounds maintain heated cabins suitable for year-round use despite winter temperatures that can drop below freezing. Most cabin sites feature gravel pads with adjacent parking spaces.

    What to do

    Beach exploration at sunset: The cabins at Birch Bay State Park Campground provide access to scenic shorelines. "If you're the type that loves walks along the beach and breath taking sunsets... Birch Bay State Park is the place to be!" noted camper Brandon M. The beach access is ideal for collecting shellfish during low tide periods.

    Hiking forest trails: Forest paths surround many cabin areas, with some leading directly to water features. At Deception Pass State Park Campground, trails connect cabin sites to key park features. "There are trails everywhere from the campsites, but most importantly down to the beach and Cranberry Lake," according to a review, mentioning that the lake "has a designated swimming area where the water is super shallow and just perfect for the kiddos."

    Kayaking: Water-based activities complement cabin stays with multiple launch points. "We even spent a few hours playing in the current that rips through Deception Pass," reports a kayaker who stayed at Deception Pass State Park. Rental equipment is available seasonally at some locations, though availability varies by season.

    What campers like

    Heated accommodations: Cabin heating systems make off-season stays practical when tent camping becomes challenging. "The cabins at Deception Pass State Park looked great and we loved ours," according to Rose M., who stayed during October. The heating systems typically operate on electricity, making them reliable even during stormy periods.

    Mountain vistas: Several cabin sites offer landscape views. At Burlington-Anacortes KOA, "the large sites 200-213 had Mountain View," notes a reviewer, mentioning that "each site is gravel with a cement pad with a table and fire pit." The surrounding woods and farmland enhance the setting.

    Proximity to attractions: Cabins provide strategic locations for regional exploration. "The campground is convenient to Lake Diablo in the Cascades. The outlet mall is nearby. The skagit casino and the Raceway are 5 minutes away. Don't forget Island Adventure to whale watch!" reports a camper. Many cabin sites sit within 30 minutes of multiple attractions.

    What you should know

    Noise factors: Some cabin locations experience environmental noise. At Deception Pass, "you'll hear jets overhead on a regular basis" due to the "naval base nearby," as Will L. mentioned. Sites closer to highways may experience traffic noise, particularly during weekday mornings.

    Booking timeframes: Cabin reservations often require significant advance planning. "Definitely going to want to visit again in the summer," noted Erica G. after a winter stay at Deception Pass, mentioning that "even though the weather was wet and cold the campground was far from empty during our stay." Summer cabin reservations typically need 3-6 months advance booking.

    Bedding requirements: Most cabin options require guests to bring their own linens. At Oostema Farmstead, "the sites are on grass, and each has a fire ring and picnic table," but guests need to bring their own sheets, pillows, and sleeping bags for the provided beds.

    Tips for camping with families

    Safety features: Gated campgrounds provide secure environments for children. "Gated and safe. Pancake breakfast and ice cream socials on the weekend," notes a visitor about Burlington-Anacortes KOA. Most cabin sites include exterior lighting and clearly defined pathways.

    Kid-friendly amenities: Recreation facilities enhance cabin stays for younger visitors. "This campground is great... facilities are clean, there's a convenient store within walking distance for any forgotten camp essentials, and trails to the bridge and beaches leave from right next to the sites," reports a visitor to Deception Pass.

    Educational experiences: Farm-based cabins offer unique learning opportunities. At Oostema Farmstead, "Lisa gave us a tour and let our children pet/feed the cows, goat, and pig. The kids loved it!!" wrote Christina B. The working farm environment provides hands-on agricultural experiences not available at standard cabin sites.

    Tips from RVers

    Bathroom access: Cabin visitors often share facilities with RV campers. At the Lynden-Bellingham KOA, the "bathrooms are clean" and maintained regularly according to Helen M. Most facilities include shower access, though some require tokens or quarters for hot water usage.

    Winter accessibility: Off-season cabin stays require preparation for potentially muddy conditions. "Be prepared for rain," advises Leonard H. about Deception Pass, mentioning "asphalt roads with compacted dirt pads." During winter months, vehicle types with higher clearance may be preferable for accessing some cabin sites.

    Space considerations: Cabin dimensions affect guest capacity. "We like that there isn't rows of RVs and Trailers stacked on top of each other, you have space to wonder and spread out," notes Christina B. about Oostema Farmstead. Most cabins accommodate 2-4 people comfortably, with larger units available at select locations.
