Best Campgrounds near Deming, WA

Campgrounds near Deming, Washington provide options ranging from established facilities to farm-based camping experiences. The region includes both state parks like Silver Lake Park with tent and RV sites, and private farmstead accommodations such as Oostema Farmstead, which offers rustic camping with modern amenities. Several campgrounds provide cabin rentals, particularly in the Glacier Springs area where Mt. Baker Lodging maintains cabins with hot tubs and other amenities. Within a 30-mile radius, campers can find KOA facilities in Lynden with family-friendly amenities, state park campgrounds with water access, and small farm retreats.

Road conditions and weather patterns significantly affect camping accessibility in the Deming area, particularly at higher elevations near Mt. Baker. Winter snow often closes forest roads from November through May, while summer brings optimal camping conditions. As one visitor noted, "We went hiking twice, and loved every second of it. As you can see from my pictures, flowers were in full bloom and were absolutely gorgeous." Most established campgrounds in the region offer water and toilet facilities, though amenities vary widely from primitive sites to full-service RV parks with hookups. Reservations are strongly recommended during summer months when popular campgrounds like Silver Lake Park fill quickly, especially on weekends and holidays.

The camping experience near Deming is characterized by mountain views, farm landscapes, and water access. Campgrounds at Silver Lake and along the North Fork Nooksack River provide waterfront opportunities for fishing and swimming. Private farmstead camping offers unique experiences—one camper described Oostema Farmstead as having "a beautiful view of mountains and farmland" where they could "pet/feed the cows, goat, and pig." Most campground reviews highlight the peaceful settings and natural beauty. Family-friendly options include the Lynden-Bellingham KOA, which several visitors praised for its amenities for children, including a playground, swimming pool, and arcade. Tent sites at established campgrounds typically provide fire rings and picnic tables, while cabins offer more comfortable accommodations for those seeking alternatives to traditional camping.

    Thousand Trails Mount Vernon

    Private wooded site

    I loved the forest here. It was a very wooded site. Groceries were reasonably priced. We took a day trip to the cascades.

    NF Dispersed Camping

    Beautiful spot for truck camping. Do not recommend for rvs.

    Lovely spot right by the National park. We camped in our truck.

    The road was rough. We have a 27 foot rv I would not bring any trailers down here. Vans were there.

    Baker Pull-Off

    Pull-off site

    Cute little off the road site. About 6 cars drove by throughout the night and into the morning, it was Friday so that was expected. There’s 2 little walkways down to your own little private section of the lake. Beautiful.

    Baker Lake Road Dispersed Campsite

    Peaceful Camping

    Stopped here in the month of September and there were very few people around the lake. Quiet and beautiful views! We parked our vehicle off the road at the top of the flat and walked down to the lake for sunrises and sets. Definitely set up for a good time during the summer break with rope swings hanging from the branches. Star link works OK here.

    Baker Lake Tent camping

    Beautiful tent site

    Didn’t stay here but hiked in it and it’s very spacious. There are 2 fire rings set up with an uppper and lower camping option. The lower is right by a river that spills into the lake on the other side of the road.

    Old Quarry by Sulphur Creek

    Unofficial Forest Gun range

    This is exactly as described in the title of this review. It’s set up as an unofficial forest gun range. We came on a Wednesday evening where it wasnt occupied or being used, but we’ll probably just stay here one night and find something better. The roads have lots of potholes getting here… probably won’t stay here again, but starling does work well considering it is a big open spot.

    Chom's RV Campground

    Great place to stay at close to the north cascades

    Great place! Clean toilets, hot water, good enough wifi, leveled ground and the host is really helpful and nice! The only downside is that it's close to the road, so you hear some traffic, but it's a rather chill place at night.
