Set 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.
220-acre Washington Park juts into Rosario Strait on the western edge of Anacortes, offering territorial views.

Doe Bay, once a secret gem of the Pacific Northwest, has a long, colorful history and a loyal group of fans and followers both local and worldwide.
The accommodations are rustic and charming, but the real Doe Bay experience lies beyond your cabin, yurt or tent.
It may be what you feel when you walk quietly to the tip of Meditation Point and stand alone, except for the active sea life playing in front of you. It may strike you when you return from a vigorous hike up Mt. Constitution and relax with your friends in the sauna or the soaking tubs. It will certainly happen when you eat a meal at the Doe Bay Café.
We invite you to visit and discover for yourself the remarkable, ineffable quality of this place.

It may have been a life-changing solo retreat, a reunion that transforms a family dynamic forever, a wedding that made their dreams come true, or a simple vacation of lazy mornings and easy days, but whatever the occasion, our guests say it all the time, and we believe it.
We invite you to visit us and experience the magic of Doe Bay, an icon of the Pacific Northwest.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Went solo camping loved 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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Lots of space between sites. Forested. Quiet unless the nearby navy planes are running touch and goes 😀.
Cozy, safe, easy to navigate to spot. Hot showers and nice restroom facilities. Was with friends, but would camp here as a solo female traveler.
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.
We stayed here two week and loved it.. hated to leave!
Host was very friendly and accommodating . The grounds are well kept. Nice fire pit and Beer Garden area and a great view with mountains and trees surrounding you.
Nice park great area
No complaints had a blast here and in the area
Great campground this was hands down one of our favorite thousand trails in Washington you will enjoy this campground Great location great campground would go back
The ranger was very friendly and helpful. The campsite was a good size and most seemed to have a sense of privacy. Hot showers and great scenery.
Well maintained. Only real complain was the worker with the leaf blower. But the noise was fairly brief. And beside it wouldn’t be well maintained without the maintenance.
We have a car camping setup. This parking pad worked great for us, and offered lots of space behind the truck for our tarp shelter and dog run. The privacy is very good on 3of4 sides. The trail system starts right at the back of camp, but the access is a little vertical, so not easy if mobility limited! A short walk from the restrooms. This is a busy campground, so there is a little noise, especially on weekends, from people and dogs doing their thing. The bathrooms were very clean. The showers are token operated and the vending machines were out of service.
We love this campground! We didn’t have a reservation but every spot has a colander on it that tells you what days it’s reserved for. We checked in easily and we’re able to buy fire wood as well. Showers are available as well as nice bathrooms and even a cute little library. Fire pits and picnic tables at sites. We saw dolphins and a sea lion!
Very nice place clean and quiet people here are so nice. So much here to do for the kids. And really cute dog walk.
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!
Bottom line: I’ve only camped at 4 state parks in WA, however, this is the best one I’ve stayed at.
Pros: Secluded Campsites. If you look at the map, you can pick some spots with privacy (tent and rv spots) Great trails in the area. For training, hiking, or just casual walking; you can do all of the above. Pet friendly area. Great views. Coastal views are gorgeous and close by. Bathrooms are extremely clean. Actually probably the cleanest public bathroom I’ve ever witnessed.
Cons: Tight fits for a camper 24ft and larger. Doable, but you’ve gotta be diligent maneuvering in there. Firewood stand was closed during open hours, don’t know what that was all about. Not that big of a deal, just bring your own don’t rely on them.
We had sites 28 and 30 for Labor Day weekend. Site 30 had a nice flat tent pad but was overall smaller. Site 28 took a little more effort to set up our family’s tent on level ground, but was overall more spacious and so our group also used that site as our kitchen/campfire area. Both sites have a view of the lake down the campground loop and are relatively close to the vault toilets, which was fine except for the morning we left when wind off of the lake carried unpleasant smells our way. Overall the lake is beautiful, and there’s great access at this campground. Would absolutely recommend and/or go back, just be careful with site selection!
Warm welcome, Nice campground with enough facilities
