2. Birch Bay State Park Campground
Blaine, Washington33 Reviews•92 Photos•186 SavesSet 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.

6. Camano Island State Park Campground
Greenbank, Washington20 Reviews•41 Photos•181 SavesClose to Seattle but a world away, Camano Island Camping offers a mellow, less bustling, but equally friendly alternative to its busier neighbor, Cama Beach State Park.
Forest loop trails provide cool, tranquil hiking, while shoreline strolls offer birding, shell and rock exploration and sweeping views of Puget Sound, Olympic Mountains and Mount Rainier.
Are you happiest in or on the water? Go boating, crabbing, saltwater fishing and sailboarding in Saratoga Passage. Curious about the restored 1930's fishing resort at Cama Beach? Hike the 1-mile trail to check out this neighboring state park.
After a fun day exploring the trails or cavorting in the water, you will probably want to kick back in your forested cabin, pitch your tent or get cozy in your RV. There, you can cook up the delicious crab you have caught, or your dinner of choice, and enjoy a bit of sublime R and R before heading back to the world.

Beautiful Campground Near Water
There is a trail that leads down to the water or you can hop in your car for a short drive. We did a walk up site and checked in late, the bathrooms were locked due to it being the off season. We had to stop in at the park station and ask the person working for the bathroom code. Peaceful and very pretty trees.

Great spot and quite park
Definitely a nice area to Visit for our first time. Quite and the ferry comes right past the camp ground. Ferry doesn’t blast its horn unless there is a boat in the ferry path. Definitely worth to check out and check out the fort. Showers and nice very clean park.

Swift Creek Campground
Gorgeous lake, great campground
Lots of flat, wooded sites are a short level walk to the beach on a really beautiful lake. Across the main road from the campground is a 3+ mile trail to popular hot springs.
The best sites for view are 34, 37, 38, 39. We stayed in 46, and loved it because it is very close to the beach. 47 and 44 are also very nice and close to the beach.
The campground reservation site did not have a good map of the campground. I finally found one on the forest service site https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5308652.pdf
The reservation site said site 46 could only accommodate a vehicle up to 15 feet in length, but there was plenty of room.

Deception Pass State Park Campground
Serene but not nowhere
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.

Peaceful and Beautiful
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.

Great family atmosphere
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.

Greenstone Farm Camping
Wonderful location with fabulous view of Mt Baker
Really nice farm with a great mountain view. Quiet rural setting but close to town (Mt. Vernon) if you need anything or just want to explore the farmer's market, as we did. Woodland trail on the 10+ acres was a real plus for our two dogs. Hosts were helpful and responsive. All around a great weekend. Thank you.

Get campsite 279 in the Bowman Bay campground, you won't regret it!
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.

So quiet and relaxing!
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.

Camping and Swimming at Moran State Park's South End: A Two-Night Adventure
Our recent camping trip to Moran State Park's South End campground provided an idyllic escape into nature. We spent two nights of lakeside bliss and refreshing swims in Cascade Lake. The South End campsite, known for its spectacular views and proximity to the water, offered a perfect base for our outdoor retreat.
From the moment we arrived, the South End campsite impressed us with its well-spaced sites and direct access to Cascade Lake. Each site had enough room for our camping gear and offered a personal slice of the park's stunning natural scenery. The lake's close proximity meant that taking a swim was as simple as stepping out of our tent.
Swimming in Cascade Lake was undoubtedly a bonus that enhanced our camping experience. The lake's water was crystal clear, making it inviting at any time of the day. Early mornings were especially magical, as the still water mirrored the beautiful sunrise, creating a perfect setting for a peaceful swim.
The campground boasted clean facilities and accessible amenities, including a nearby restroom with showers maintained impeccably throughout our stay. Evenings were spent around the fire ring, where we cooked meals and shared stories under the starlit sky, the gentle sound of the lake providing a soothing backdrop.
Our two-night stay at the South End of Moran State Park was nothing short of rejuvenating. It combined the rustic charm of camping with the leisure of lakeside relaxation. For anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the San Juan Islands, this campground, with its exceptional swimming opportunities, comes highly recommended.

Great campground a short walk from the beach
Deception Pass State Park is huge and beautiful, perfect for families and photographers. The campsites are open and surrounded by forests, with clean facilities, fire pits, and picnic tables. The staff is super friendly, and our son loved sitting in their golf cart. The hike to see Deception Pass Bridge is awesome. We visited in the fall, and the weather was cool but nice. It’s a great place to explore and take pictures. We had a lot of fun and recommend it to everyone!
Liam R.ScoutFort Casey Campground
Extremely helpful when roadtriping to find campsites. One key note I've found. Just because a campsite is on the map doesn't mean it's open. I've learned that the hard way many times now. Dyrt makes it very easy to go to the campsites website and check for availability.
Easy to pay and very clean bathrooms. It was very windy and rainy the night I stayed. I slept in the back of my old 4Runner and it felt like I was on a boat at times from the rocking of the car in the wind

Camano Island State Park Campground
Group Camp Stay
We stayed with several families at the group site with a mixture of trailers, tents, and tents on cars. The trailers ranged in size from 22’ to 36’ and we found ample space for each.
This site has close access to the bathrooms shared with those staying in the cabins. Peekaboo views of the water between the trees.
The site has several campsites that branch off of the road through the site which is also a trail. It has a central gravel area for a large group or trailers next to a large field area. There is no kitchen shelter, just picnic tables, fire pits, and a grill.
The site feels very private but you have people passing on the trail/road, which runs through the middle of camp, at regular intervals.
The park is full of steep hills which can make those with mobility challenges or kids wanting to ride bikes tough. The road to the beach is very steep.
Bring bug spray as mosquitoes were vicious as well as the yellow jackets.

Deception Pass State Park Campground
Beautiful, fairly private sites
Beautiful park, we stayed on Forest Loop area of campsites and the sites there had lots of big trees and shrubbery that helped privatize them. Wonderfully varied terrain between the beaches with beautiful island views (saw an otter on the beach once), Hoypus Point hiking trails through traditional northwest forest/swordfern landscape, and Cranberry Lake with its roped-off swimming area. There were planes from the Air Force base that circled overhead practicing, so not the quietest park, but surprisingly they didn’t bother us - in an rv - though normally I’m noise sensitive. If you plan to visit other WA parks, just get the yearly Discovery Pass state park pass as all the WA parks seem to require it or a $10 parking/entry fee.

Great spot!
We arrived late and found a great pull through site. The park staff were super helpful with our late evening questions. Convenient to the ferry for the morning line up! Nice hike up to the gun battery along the bluff.

River Meadows Park
Just enough
The campground itself was a little out of the way, but overall a pretty good spot. Not sure if they have any utility sites, mine was not and they don’t have a dump station but do have potable water. The spaces are sectioned off by large bushes which was nice to have some privacy

Loud and dirty
So loud. Kids on electric scooters, bikes, running through our site. Dogs barking kept us up late and woke us before dawn. Two bathrooms, one was filthy. Broken paddle boats on a dirty pond. In the middle of a residential neighborhood. Would not return.

Typical woodsy campground
We stayed here 2 nights with our rpod. Our site was big enough for our friends with a tent to pitch it next to us. We had a site on the end of a grouping. Some sites are way too close together, but others are more spacious. We were happy with ours. We brought our inflatable boat with us and had a nice cruise around the lake, even went swimming!

Nice and quiet (occasional wave sounds). Very clean campground. No real privacy by the spots are spaced quite a bit apart. Restrooms are very clean. Showers require tokens. We will definitely be back.

Upper Oak Bay Park
OK camp spot. No showers. Lagoon that fronts the park smells at low tides.
Upper Oak Bay CG: A nice day use play park for kids. I vault toilet. No showers. One potable water spigot. Rest are for washing.
There is NO path down to the lagoon other than a precipitous dirt chute requiring a rope to climb back up.
Nice view from a few frontal sites.
Lower Oak Bay CG is wide open, so better for RVs and Vans. Easy shoreline access for small boats.

Nice trails, decent location for winter campinf
The sites at this campground are pretty close together but you can find a few that have some foliage in between. Luckily since we went during the winter we were able to find a spot without neighbors. In the summer I’m sure it is packed and you’d be very close to everyone.
The campground is close to lots of great trails. The beach is a short walk away and has nice picnic areas and super clean bathrooms. Firewood is available for purchase for $7/bundle. The camp host, Marshall, was very friendly and helpful during our stay.
The one complaint was the dump station was closed and the winter water spigot was not working well, neither of which was reflected on the state park website. Fortunately we were able to use the winter water spigot, it just took a long time and sprayed water everywhere because it had been broken and they were still working on repairs.
There are some sites with beautiful views of the water (7-10 I believe), which I would recommend if you can get them. Overall, nice campground.
