GuideThe sites were large, the bathrooms nice, even in the middle of summer it was pretty quiet considering how many people were camping there. Day use is on the shore and easy to access and town is just a walk or bike ride away! The sunset view was incredible from the day use area.
GuideWe stayed here 2 nights on our road trip, tent camping. The road is a bit of a far drive from the highway, but there seems to be many spots to camp along the way. There are also a few paid for campgrounds in the area. But the free dispersed spots are the furthest down the road. The view of the lake and mountains in the distance are beautiful. The water is so clear and blue, fishing, and boating is common. No amenities near the free camping, but there are toilets and dumpsters along Baker Lake road. Not too many mosquitoes when we were there, but be aware of the mice. It rained the first night, but on the second, we had a wonderful view of the moonrise. We also spotted some toads by the lake at night. Signs say there are bears in the area, but we didn't have a problem with that. My only complaints are we could not park our car right next to camp, but it wasn't far, campfires were not allowed, and people cannot seem to clean up after themselves. There were areas that were clearly used as bathrooms; toilet paper scattered around, and piles of poop. Please have the decency to bury your feces. But overall, I would definitely recommend this campsite!
ScoutNot a ton of great spots but not crazy busy on a friday night. Had to drive kind of far to find something that would work for me. The better spots were all taken.
ScoutThis rv resort was way better than we were expecting, as a last minute add on. Massive dog park, indoor pool and fire areas, putt putt, pickleball, nature walking trails, kids outdoor play area, sun deck, and I’m sure there is more we haven’t gotten to see! Big spacious spots. About 25 mins from skagit speedway. Hope to come stay here again in the future!
ScoutGot here on a Saturday night and got a spot no problem. First come first serve. Very close to North Cascades NP.
GuideThis is a busy campground and day use area, but it’s awesome. You can kayak and swim in cranberry lake, watch the sunset from either north beach or west beach, and hike many different trails all from the campground.
ScoutVery friendly and helpful camp hosts. Big dog park, clean bathroom & showers. Paved. Some sites are narrow and shady but overall a very nice park.
TravelerMade it in a 5.5-in clearance sedan. Some beautiful spots right along the river and I would argue I was graced with one of the best ones! We stayed for a Thursday and Friday night, some cars coming and going. Never got to the actual waypoint marked for this but people were turning around on Friday night.
GuideWe needed a place for the night before hitting North Cascade NP, we were able to pull into the rest areas last spot. A lot of semi's so it's loud if you're in between them but you get used to it after some time

Hiking at Vedder Mountain: Located just minutes from Sumas, these trails provide panoramic views spanning both the US and Canada. A visitor to Hidden Meadow Retreat reports: "James had mentioned checking out Vedder Mountain (which is different than Mt. Vedder in Canada) and gave us directions. It was only a few miles away and ended up being a great place to explore. On our hike, we ended up on a ridge overlooking both the US and Canada."
Farm experiences: Several campsites offer agricultural activities unique to the Everson area. At Oostema Farmstead, campers can participate in farm life. One reviewer noted, "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."
Fresh farm produce: The agricultural setting allows campers to enjoy locally grown food. "I opted to pay $3 to fill a basket from the garden and my yield included tomatoes, carrots, peppers, and fresh herbs," shares a visitor to Oostema Farmstead. Many sites provide access to farm stands within short driving distance.
Winter camping options: Unlike many mountain destinations, several Everson area campgrounds remain open year-round. A camper at Larrabee State Park Campground mentions: "We visited in the winter, so it was quiet." The park's proximity to the coastline moderates winter temperatures compared to inland locations.
Water recreation: Many campgrounds offer direct access to lakes, rivers, or the coast. "This has to be one of my all time favorite places for Shell Fishing and Crabbing! Peaceful and not too busy, access to the beach, and group camp sites, makes this a family destination for quiet fun," reports a visitor to Birch Bay State Park Campground.
Train noise: Some campgrounds experience significant railroad noise. Larrabee State Park sits near active train tracks, with one camper reporting: "Downside was the trains barreling through all night. Could barely sleep with earplugs." This noise pattern affects specific campgrounds rather than the entire region.
Border proximity considerations: The Canadian border lies within 10 miles of several Everson area campgrounds, requiring appropriate identification for any cross-border travel. Some campers use the location for international trips, though border crossing times vary seasonally.

Swimming options: Safe swimming areas rank high for families with children. At Birch Bay State Park, shallow waters provide ideal conditions for younger swimmers. "The beach nearby is absolutely beautiful! It's definitely off the beaten path, but worth it," reports one visitor.

Privacy considerations: RVers value separation between sites. "I love how it's tucked away and you forget your right in Lynden," notes a KOA visitor. At The Cedars RV Resort, "There are trees between every camp spot to add privacy," according to another camper.
Winter accessibility: The flat terrain and moderate winter climate allow for year-round RV camping at several sites. Larger rigs should check for seasonal road restrictions, particularly after heavy rains when some access roads may soften.
