It's a very good sized place with spaces to accommodate even the largest trailers. Full hookups, wifi, bathrooms, shower, laundry room, swimming pool."

Pet policies vary by location, with several properties explicitly advertising pet-friendly cabins. Reservations are essential during summer months when occupancy rates peak.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from basic countertop appliances to full cooking setups with refrigerators and microwaves. Birch Bay State Park, approximately 10 miles from Ferndale, offers cabins with electricity but limited cooking facilities. Bay View State Park Campground provides cabin accommodations with views of the water. As described in feedback on The Dyrt: "We actually stayed at the cabins rather than in a tent. The views of the bay from the cabin were great. The cabin is definitely luxurious if you're used to tenting (two padded bunks and a queen sized bed; also has heat if you need it)."
"For some reason, the North Loop had much higher occupancy than the South Loop. Site quality: All sites are level and gravel. Each site includes a fire ring and large wood picnic table."
"The lots are pretty close together but it has everything you need--large picnic table, fire pit with grill, parking, and a good area for your tent."

"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."
"I went once in a tent and one on a cabin. Definitely more worth the cabin. I found the tent sites extremely dusty like more than normal. The cabins were good though. Luxury of having power and a bed."
from $60 - $120 / night
"There were SO MANY available campsites when we got there. About mid afternoon. The ranger was super friendly and welcoming!"
"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."

"It is located on a working farm. There were chickens, cows, calves, a heron (I think it was nesting near the driveway), a raspberry field, a garden and even a cat wandering around. "
"Glen and Lisa welcomed us when we arrived around 5 pm on a sunny day in August. The sites are on grass, and each has a fire ring and picnic table."

"I rented a long term space here for over 2 years while working in Washington. Price was by far the best around. It's a very good sized place with spaces to accommodate even the largest trailers."
"We actually stayed at the cabins rather than in a tent. The views of the bay from the cabin were great."
"Some of the sites are close together (for a WA state park) but the sites are still private by normal RV park standards. The location is excellent and the rangers are nice."

"Spent a few nights here with a book and had the best time! “On grid” yurts have electricity. No water so bring your own or grab at the market. The market was really convenient."
"Campground Review: A two hour drive from Seattle will land you at the Anacortes Ferry Terminal where you'll be just a boat ride away from beautiful Orcas Island."
"Pancake breakfast and ice cream socials on the weekend. Large pull through sites. Cabins and a teepee.
The bathrooms and showers are newly remodeled and wonderful!"
"Each site is gravel with a cement pad with a table and fire pit. Large sites are surrounded by woods and farmland. This is a great weekend getaway."
"We originally were going to stay for 2 weeks (but the Campground we were going to afterward was closed by corporate for electrical repairs) so the very nice park ranger, Linda, was able to extend our stay"
"I live full-time in my RV and travel between Thousand Trails properties regularly."
ScoutBeautiful spot on Orcas Island. Do be aware there is a ferry ride and you need a reservation and it can be expensive depending on the size of your rig. Water and 30 amp electric. Clean bathrooms and showers. Cute café and the best sunset on the island.
RangerDecent option if you’re traveling down 5. Seems like a popular spot so some safety in numbers. There’s a similar rest area on the other side for those traveling north
ScoutThe Navy carrier jets train out here, for hours on end, you can’t hear someone next to you speak when they’re overhead, and it’s one after another. To top it off, some dipsh@t did the grand finale flight of the evening, around 11:30 PM, so low over the campground they lit up the inside of the tent.
Without the jets, this would be a great spot. Beautiful scenery, plenty of trails and beaches, well kept, but the constant interruption of any moment of peace makes it worthless unless you’re deaf and don’t mind the ground vibrating routinely when they fly over.
LegendWe were coming off Orcas Island on a later ferry and wanted a “known” place to stay. This is a shared KOA/Thousand Trails site. It is situated amongst large Cedars so sites are pretty dark. Gravel roads and sites. Older bathrooms that don’t seem too clean. KOA amenities like a pool/hot tub, kids playground and dog area. Just feels tired and not too upscale. If it were full it would feel crowded. Updated from 3 to 4 stars. There is a second bathroom building which is much newer and has modern showers and fixtures. It also seemed cleaner.
GuideThe county redid an older CG about 6 years ago (?), and they did a beautiful job throughout. The roads and driveways are all asphalt, the spaces mostly large, and depending on the site, have nice privacy. The bathroom facility is beautifully done.
Maple Creek CG part of the 3 CG park is the best for the rv crowd with water/electricity, and a dump station. There are a number of trails taking walkers to the beach area having lots of grass, boat rentals, and trails connecting to the other two CG’s.
We don’t get cell coverage (Verizon or AT&T), so we now bring the Starlink Mini beginning in 2025.
And we love the beautiful trees, not too dense, allowing sunshine coming in. We used to tent, have a 27’ Airstream nowadays, but this CG is like a beautiful USFS experience.
LegendDeception Pass State Park is an incredible place to camp. The scenery and hikes have a wow factor. We enjoy the smaller Quarry Pond side. Great facilities. Wonderful campground.
TravelerI'm homeless in a trailer and this has helped me find spots for free
ScoutI live full-time in my RV and travel between Thousand Trails properties regularly. This was the first Thousand Trails property that I stayed at when I joined and it remains my favorite place to come back to. Clean showers, clean bathrooms, well-maintained roads easy back in campsites, beautiful trees lots of space to walk my dogs 50 and 30 amp hook up with water. The only downside to this campground is that sewer sites are extremely limited. There is a swimming pool and hot tub that are open during the summer months as well as a store and laundry facilities.
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.

Beach activities: Silver Lake Park offers waterfront access for fishing, swimming, and kayaking. "The lake is a little bit cold," says one visitor, who adds that the campground has "sites right next to the lake, there are spots for tent camping as well as RV camping... There is a little shop open on the dock for any essentials you might need or have forgotten."
Wildlife viewing: Birch Bay State Park Campground provides opportunities for shellfish gathering and bird watching. "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," shares one camper. The park's beach access allows for extended walks and wildlife observation.
Farm experiences: Oostema Farmstead offers agricultural activities beyond standard cabin stays. "This is a working farm with beef cattle and an extensive garden," notes a visitor. "The sites are on grass, and each has a fire ring and picnic table. I opted to pay $3 to fill a basket from the garden and my yield included tomatoes, carrots, peppers, and fresh herbs."
Spacious sites: Cabins at Hidden Village RV Park provide room to spread out. "It's a very good sized place with spaces to accommodate even the largest trailers. Even when full there's room to maneuver," writes one camper. The park includes separate parking for boats and utility trailers.
Quality of amenities: Lynden-Bellingham KOA receives praise for its cabin facilities. "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," notes one visitor. The KOA offers both standard and deluxe cabin options.
Waterfront views: Bay View State Park Campground offers cabins with water vistas. "The whole park was clean and pretty quiet! It was right on the water and was exactly the right distance from Seattle to make us feel like we'd really left," explains one reviewer. Another notes the cabin comforts: "The cabin is definitely luxurious if you're used to tenting (two padded bunks and a queen sized bed; also has heat if you need it)."
Reservation requirements: Most cabin facilities near Ferndale require advance booking, particularly during summer. At Oostema Farmstead, one visitor noted, "We could have made it work but Lisa put us in Site 4. The only thing that might sway me from a 5-star review is that the sites are close together with no real privacy between them."
Noise considerations: Deception Pass State Park Campground cabins may experience occasional jet noise from nearby Naval Air Station. "Definitely worth a stay with its proximity to the beach, stargazing, hiking. The whole area feels magical... The only downside is the noise from the naval base nearby. You'll hear jets overhead on a regular basis," reports one camper.
Off-season availability: Winter cabin options exist but with limited facilities. At Birch Bay State Park, most cabin amenities remain operational year-round, though some services reduce hours from October through April. Several campgrounds offer special winter rates with discounts up to 40% for midweek stays.
Recreational options: KOA properties offer organized activities for children. "Lynden KOA was the perfect nearby campground... Great Amenities.... Swimming pool, mini golf, arcade games, paddle boats. Close enough to town for a bike ride or a run. Pet friendly," shares one family.
Beach access: Birch Bay State Park provides family-friendly shorelines. "Nice little state park in the trees along the water close to Canada with great views. There isn't hiking here but many opportunities to catch dinner... You can walk along the beach for what seems like forever," explains a camper.
Safety considerations: Cabins provide secure shelter during inclement weather. "The campground is kept in perfect condition. Also, we needed an extra night for our stay and the hosts let us stay in their backyard. I've felt completely taken care of here," notes a visitor at Oostema Farmstead.
Site selection: When booking cabins for groups with RVs, research location. "Our drive-up site was great, well maintained with bathrooms nearby," reports a camper at Birch Bay. "The road through campsites are a little tight, but we fit! Dump station at the front of the park."
Utility access: Norwest RV Park cabins provide modern amenities close to hookup sites. "Small spaces but they are level and the price is right!" notes one visitor, making it suitable for those traveling with both cabin guests and RVs.
