"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."
"Beautiful campground located right next to the bay awesome walking distance from our site to the bay and not too noisy either! Would definitely stay again perfect for small children as well!"
"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."
$12 - $40 / night
"Close to water. Close to beach. Lots of hiking trails good for all ages. ADA friendly and pets allowed while on leashes."
"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."
$35 - $65 / night
"Lisa gave us a tour and let our children pet/feed the cows, goat, and pig. The kids loved it!!"
"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. "
"Everyone’s so nice, good dog park, pool, and friendly staff. Little mini mart on site."
"There are several back in spots around the perimeter with a bit more room (length). There are spaces with sufficient width for tip outs and those without."
$12 - $45 / night
"I was able to snag one of the amazing sites on the lake. It sits down from the road and an embankment so there is a level of privacy from the road, but not your neighboring sites."
"It’s right above the main road and a freshwater lake. It’s pretty steep, sprained my ankle right before the trip. They were very helpful at the entrance and gave me a lower site."
"There are great hikes all around, we walked around the lake and plopped our canoe in right from the site to go explore around."
"Situated on a small peninsula on gorgeous mountain lake. Great fishing and kayaking. Hiking trail right outside you your campsite. Put toilet only, no room for RV’s or campers."
"Park felt safe and restrooms, area around the RVs were all very clean and homey."
"Cute RV-only park not far from the Canadian border. Parking spots are pretty straight-forward, as it’s just a lot for RVs. Advanced reservations are highly recommended. No tent camping available."
"Our nephews came to visit and enjoyed the pool and small nature trails around camp. There is a lot to do around town all within biking distance. We paddle boarding in the bays!!"
"Nice place, friendly staff best Thousand Trails so far."
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.
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!
GuideThe 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.
TravelerStayed here for a long weekend. Great location. Nice walking trails and beach access. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Pet friendly cabins is an extra bonus!
TravelerI 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. Even when full there's room to maneuver.Full hookups, wifi, bathrooms, shower, laundry room, swimming pool. Has seperate parking for boats, utility trailers etc. Lots of big trees around for a fair amount of shade. Is pet friendly. Manager lady is very nice. Has a separate non power section for tents or dry camping. It's not the fanciest but for the price is great.
