"Larrabee State Park is a publicly owned recreation area located on Samish Bay, six miles (10 km) south of the city of Bellingham, Washington."
"It's only a few miles from town, so you could head in there for a day away from the forest/beach, or you could hike one of the many trails leading to scenic views."
"Lynden KOA was the perfect nearby campground. Tent sites in the back are rather dusty (no grass)… but then again we’re camping so who cares. Grassy sites are around the pond and book up quickly."
"Lots of places to walk my dogs."

Travelerit’s great access to the northern cascades. first time staying there and I have been camping in Washington since I was born
it has great access to some really good trails the scenery is beautiful.
ScoutGood little RV park, within walking distance of a dog park, children's park and public bathrooms which is nice. Only downside is that there is not septic at the spots which for $40 a night I would think that they would, but the water is clean and overall the whole lot is nicely kept up with and clean.
ScoutEveryone’s so nice, good dog park, pool, and friendly staff. Little mini mart on site.
TravelerThe campground itself is very clean, you can tell the owners take pride it in. The showers are warm, not as hot as I’d like but very very nice! The dog park is gravel, so that was a bummer. The hot tub, indoor pool, and and gym are closed for the season. Not sure how those are seasonal. Overall it’s clean and quiet.
ScoutWon'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.
RangerGreat spot for an Overnighter on the road through quaint Sedro-Woolley WA, this spot contains amenities for all, along with RV parking and a handful of tent lots. If you care to go swimming it has easy access directly to the lake with a primitive boat launch meant for smaller, canoe-like, vessels. Clean Restrooms, no showers, but they have a stage and performances during the summer months and two Parks, meant for all ages! Surrounding areas to explore include a Dog Park just across the way, and a spooky hike among abandoned buildings which were once part of Northern State Mental facility. Be sure to take in the Train display at the Town’s enterance and have a great trip!
RangerThe service… At first, over the phone, the worker here seemed very nice but upon arrival, this campground was very off-putting. I’m not a big fan of anyone walking into my campsite even if they think they are being helpful. But this worker followed us into the site and immediately told us our rig was too far forward… we hadn’t even cut the truck off yet. And proceeded to talk to us while we were just trying to get settled. Just really weird vibes.
About this site itself…. TIGHT. No room on either side. No privacy. No place for pets to go even though it advertises that there is a pet area. This morning, after walking to the back of the campground where the worker told us we could take our dog when we checked in, he told us that we couldn’t let our dog walk in that grassy area. We were like, there is literally nowhere else to take the dog. It’s entirely surrounded by business and the airport.
We kept to ourselves and got a refund for the final booked night so we could just leave. The worker was really not thrilled about that request and was pretty rude about it.
The only reason we give it two stars is for the location. You can’t get any closer to Bellingham which is absolutely awesome.
ScoutAffordable stay $25 @7/2020. Closing at end of month for renovations.
Well kept large quiet park. Great dg waking areas; including a dog park. Some sites with trees for shade. Hookups work. Free city dump station within a mile; easy to access. 2 clean bathrooms; no shower. Manager on site. Gate locked by 10pm. Access through older well kept neighborhoods. Grocery store on main road. Lorenzo-s was closed due to COVID; we ate their 10 years ago; mighty good rellanoes. Gave it 4 as one toilet with very slow flush! Perhaps renovations will solve that problem. Perhaps showers will be included; they could charge more.
GuideThe prices for everything is amazing! The campsites are spacious and run along the creek! There are tent pads that make the ground not so hard under your tent. A table, grill and campfire ring at every site. The cabins are very nice! And are spacious as well. Have a porch swing, campfire ring, table and grill outside. Most cabins have an electric heater and a heat stove inside. The heat stove heats up the entire cabin very well!! They provide trash cans and bags and a broom to help keep the dirt cleaned up!
The bathrooms are very nice and clean. And they have firewood for sale on site. There is an attendant that will be there after work hours for people who are arriving late to get you checked in and answer questions you have. There are a couple of hiking trails, twin lakes, boats, canoes, and bikes to rent on site. There is also an enclosed dog park on site. There are tent sites, cabins, rv sites and even little apartments to rent for your stay. Great place and only 25 miles from town!
Camping options near Deming sit along the Mount Baker Highway corridor, approximately 30 miles east of Bellingham at elevations between 500-1200 feet. This area experiences mild summers with daytime temperatures in the 70s and cool, wet winters with significant rainfall rather than heavy snow at lower elevations. Most campgrounds in the region stay open from April through October, with only Silver Lake Park offering year-round camping.
Fishing at Silver Lake Park: The lake provides excellent trout fishing from the shore or small boats. "The cleanest restrooms and showers that I have ever experienced camping. We have been here three times now. No sewer, but the dump area is quiet and efficient. Beautiful woods and hiking available as well," notes Patrick J. about Silver Lake Park.
Hiking Vedder Mountain: Located approximately 8 miles from Deming, these trails offer ridge hiking with panoramic views. "On our hike, we ended up on a ridge overlooking both the US and Canada. As well, Silver Lake is only about a 20 minute drive away, so we went for a nice refreshing dip," shares Danielle S. about the trails near Hidden Meadow Retreat.
Nooksack River access: Several campgrounds provide river access for cooling off during summer months. "The Nooksack river provides a beautiful white noise generator that gives you additional sound privacy from your neighbors. I recommend reserving one of the spots along the river," explains Richard C. about Douglas Fir Campground.
Farm experiences: Some campgrounds offer unique agricultural settings with animal interactions. "Lisa gave us a tour and let our children pet/feed the cows, goat, and pig. The kids loved it! 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," describes Christina B. about Oostema Farmstead.
Natural sound barriers: The rushing river provides privacy between campsites. "I loved this campground. Most sites are on the river, which provides perfect noise-cancellation acoustics. A sweet trail at the far end of the loop takes you under the road and through a forest along the river," says Catherine S. about Douglas Fir Campground.
Kid-friendly amenities: Many campgrounds cater to families with playgrounds and activities. "Great amenities…. Swimming pool, mini golf, arcade games, paddle boats. Lots of trees and shade! I love how it's tucked away and you forget your right in Lynden," mentions Renee R. about Lynden-Bellingham KOA.
Limited services: Few grocery stores exist between Bellingham and Glacier. "Stop and get food before you get to Glacier because there is nothing around and no Mobile service," advises Brian M. about camping near Mount Baker.
Seasonal road closures: Mount Baker Highway beyond Glacier often closes during winter months. "This campground is about an hour away from Heather Meadows/Artist Point, so it is a bit of a drive if you're doing any hiking that way," explains Meghan B. about Silver Lake Park.
Cell service gaps: Many campgrounds have limited connectivity. "There was no cell phone service for me, so I recommend printing directions. I trusted my GPS and it got me there, but I wasn't 100% sure I had arrived," warns Danielle S. about camping at Hidden Meadow Retreat.
Recreation variety: Campgrounds offering multiple activities keep children entertained. "With young children we loved that Larrabee had a playground area and easy access to the beach. We also took advantage of the hiking trails nearby," shares Carlyn N. about Larrabee State Park.
Swimming options: Several campgrounds offer water access for cooling off. "We live about a 20 min drive from Silver Lake. We go often, sometimes to just go hike around the trails and have lunch, we also take day trips to the lake there and go kayaking and ALWAYS have fun there nice big lake and fun for the kiddos too!" says Johnny W. about Silver Lake Park.
Wildlife viewing: Animal encounters provide educational opportunities. "Nice campground with great views of the water. Just be aware that it has some nosy raccoon residents who feel very comfortable coming right up to camp to investigate your food situation. Nothing bad - just have to be careful not to encourage them," advises wisepig about camping at Larrabee State Park.
Site selection: Reserve early for the most level and accessible spots. "We had site T6 which is full hook up pull through. The site was extremely unlevel front to back so much so my rear stabilizers barely touched the ground," cautions Jason W. about camping at Larrabee State Park.
Length restrictions: Many forested campgrounds have limited space for larger rigs. "I was a little upset when I booked two sites for a 24' motorhome and 26' trailer. Site 11 for the trailer was barely 26' deep and the angle to back in was opposite what it needed to be. There was no room left to park the truck," explains Bill T. about Douglas Fir Campground.
Full-service options: Some campgrounds provide complete hookups. "Equipment: 30' Travel Trailer. Stayed in South Campgrounds. Road through campsites are a little tight, but we fit!! Dump station at the front of the park," reports Ben C. about Birch Bay State Park.
