  Whidbey Island Fairgrounds Campsite - TEMPORARILY CLOSED

  Funky, convenient

  Langley is a great little town. I don’t know why they haven’t done more to develop the campground- all sites are first-come-first served. They did repair the electrical system this year and just reopened. It’s at the fairgrounds on the edge of town, there’s a largely unlandscaped grass field with electrical boxes & (some) water connections. There is a dump out on site and potable water. There are accessible bathrooms and showers nearby. The campground is on a hill above the horse barn and arena, very convenient to the town of Langley, which is delightful. No camp host available, nobody you can call for assistance. Because the campground just reopened, we were the only ones camped most of the 6 days we were here. I love Langley but they are not as tourist-driven as many towns which have campgrounds like this.

  Camping is great for those who like to experience the atmosphere of the mountains and forests or resorts that also have camping. As the article above shows, camping is very fun if we have a happy spirit. So let's see the feedback experiences of customers when coming to the camping places on this website: https://suikagameonline.io

  Greenstone Farm Camping

  Wonderful location with fabulous view of Mt Baker

  Really nice farm with a great mountain view.  Quiet rural setting but close to town (Mt. Vernon) if you need anything or just want to explore the farmer's market, as we did.  Woodland trail on the 10+ acres was a real plus for our two dogs.  Hosts were helpful and responsive.  All around a great weekend.  Thank you.

  Clean, quiet, relaxing and well done.

  Great campground. Love the lake. Easy access for our kayak. Beautiful lake for fishing as well. 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. We will be back.

  Crap

  If you are there even 5 min past the 10 day limit even though you are obviously packing up the manager will give you a specific time to be gone by or ahe will call the police in an attempt to have you tresspased then call the cops 40mins before that time and on the 9th day she called the police to do a welfare check even though everyone was up and moving around obviously ok. 😡 Never again and i may not even go to their crappy carnival they try to call a fair either.

  Serene and Beautiful

  FIrst time here.  Beautiful, serene and peaceful.  Only disagreement involved a chipmunk.  We just decided to agree to disagree.  :)  Had wonderful neighbors.  Lake swimming area is walkable via a trail that runs behind the sites.

  Harry Osborne State Forest - TEMPORARILY CLOSED 2023

  Update

  Update. Stockwater has been gaited off due to vandalism and trash dumping. You may utilize trails to walk your horses down to the water. This is primarily a horse/hiking camp. There is not access for motorized Vehicles on the mountain Any longer. There are 2 manure pits, a vault toilet, some fire pits, and a group covered table area. This is dry camping with no potable water or garbage.

  Note that this is a working forest and may have heavy log truck traffic at times...the gates will be locked otherwise.

  Evergreen State Fairgrounds

  Has all the basic needs for a safe stay.

  It's more of a place to park then a full on campground. It has water and 30 amp power at all spots with access to a dump station. You are limited to 7 nights per month. It's right next to the fairgrounds so you have all the sounds that come with that. A great place if you are one of the vendors for an event at the fairgrounds. It was $35 a night. If you reserve your spot online there is an $8 fee to do that. The power pedestals is set up for 2 rv's per pole so it might be on the wrong side so you need to run an extra cord or hose. Not a problem if your set up for it.

  Rusty Ranch Cabin & Corral

  Wild Washington at its Best

  Great rest site.  It is quiet and they offer a lot of camping/tenting opportunities around the place.  

  Owners have done a great job of keeping it up and offering wonderful and adventuresome trails to hike or ride for all levels of experience.

  A definite place worth checking out, provided you can book early enough...

  Lily and Lizard Lakes

  Easy hike and good views

  Spent one night at Lizard Lake. Only 4 campsites there and all really close to each other. All the sites had a fire ring, bench and a flat area to set up your tent. The hike up is pretty easy but the only water source is from the lakes which is not the cleanest water so bring a good filter.

  Once you get a spot it is very easy to go to the other lookouts that are not far from the lakes.

  Works for a quick overnight

  Traveling from Seattle, we stumbled upon this campground. Kind of confusing to find, it’s called “RV2” and you follow the signs to it in the fairground parking lot. More for RVs and not so much tents, we ended up sleeping in the car. Didn’t utilize the showers, but there was a port a pot for us to use. Camp host was nice, $25 for the night. Racetrack is loud but was expected

  This is under snohomish county park system. Rates are good price. Notable considerations, near racetrack ongoing races and trials usually quiets down early evening this time of year. Great place to go adventure for the day. A couple major stores to stock up on. Friendly staff check in was a breeze just call the number.

  Not a place for tranquility. The price is right for what you get. Dump station you either drive to or take your porta can and drag it there. Hosts are good people and quiet when races not running. I'd stay here again

  Silver Lake Park

  Great for families

  Recently redone sites,, with new bbq/fire pits. New gravel around the site. We had a great time, most of the sites are very big with lots of room some more private than others but over-all I'd rate a 7/10 for privacy. Very shaded spots too. The walk to the lake isn't bad. Bathroom facilities were okay, showers were not working and one was out of T.p. the whole time. The grounds are great for kids to play, lots of fields, and creeks to explore, and perfect for family bike riding or skate boarding.

  Maple Grove Campsites

  Best Campsite on the PNT

  Took the site to the farthest north. STUNNING sunset views of Baker and (if you get into the water) Shuksan. Bunch of flat sites, great fire-rings, and even an old dock if you have a boat. No running water, but... there’s a lake right there!

  Hiked the whole Baker Lake Trail and from what we saw, this was the best site!

  Junction Camp — North Cascades National Park

  Beautiful views of the glaciers

  Along Thunder-creek trail Junction is tucked away about 10 miles in. While the hike is relatively easy-moderate while passing through the other camps, once you get pass camp Tricouni you have 2.2 miles until camp Junction and it’s a strenuous hike up the mountain for about a mile. There are 3 campsites to choose from in Junction. Get there relatively early because there are only 2 with a view of the glacier, the third is nice and private and tucked away but you won’t see the mountain from the site. The pit toilet is tucked away in some trees to your left of the campsites with plenty of privacy and scenery. Junction great spot for camping or to break for lunch and take in the gorgeous views. I will add if you choose to visit during a warmer time bring bug spray and get a fire going ASAP to keep them at bay until the night air comes in.

  Harry Osborne State Forest - TEMPORARILY CLOSED 2023

  Quiet and Lots of Space

  Great place to bring your LQ (any size rig) and camp with your horses. There are a few non-equestrians, but we need to keep this a place for equestrians because we are losing more and more campsites.  Trails are well maintained and extensive.

  No water or electric at the camp, but you can drive down to a creek and pump or collect water for your horses. You will be boondocking.

  High-line poles are available to high-tie your horses. We set up a portable corral and were fine. Picnic tables and fire rings are also available.

  No manure pile or wheel barrow. There is a vault toilet and I got cell service on my phone.

  Works in a pinch

  Unless you’re going to the fairgrounds, this’ll probably be torture. The racetrack here is non stop noise when they’re racing. It’s a gravel parking lot with no real amenities. Perfect for a vendor at the fair, not great for someone who wants a peaceful spot to park an RV.

  Maple Grove Campsites

  Lakeside campsites that can be reached by foot or by boat

  Seems like these sites are quite popular. However, I went during the middle of the week, on a slightly rainy day, at the end of August and was the only person there. 

  If you're like me and not from Washington, remember to get a discovery pass (~$10 per day) if you're parking at the Baker Lake Trailhead. The hike in to Maple Grove is approx. three and a half miles. Don't be surprised if you run into some folks on horseback. 

  The trail is relatively flat and goes through some beautiful old growth forest. We got a spot right by the lake that was flat and soft. All of the sites had fire pits and seemed pretty dispersed. There were also bear boxes.  The vault toilets were some of the cleanest I'd seen. 

  As you can see from some of the photos, there's a dock that you could boat up to that doubles as a great place see Mt. baker.

  Maple Grove Campsites

  It’s a love, hate relationship on Baker Lake

  Campground Review: Maple Grove campground (boat-in or hike-in)

  3.5 stars

  I have a love and hate relationship with Maple Grove campground and in my experience it has all depended on the season in which I have visited the lake.  I love the campgrounds along the lake and amazing views of Mount Baker, just hate the unbearably busy fishing and camping crowds, biting flies and mosquitos summer brings.

  I have been to Baker Lake three (3) times in the last three (3) years to camp and have only been able to actually camp on the lake two (2) of those three (3) trips. September has been my golden month on the lake as far as luck in finding a camping site.  We no longer even bother heading up to Baker Lake or any of the surrounding campgrounds in July or August unless we are there to fish and/or already have a reservation. We once made the trip up mid-July for our anniversary and found out upon arriving in town it was the opening weekend of sockeye salmon fishing season and I have never seen so more boats packed onto a lake except at Sea Fair!  It was crazy!  No camping available, not even on the side NF / FS roads. 

  When you do have the chance to make the journey to Baker Lake’s Maple Grove campground, you will find a small campground tucked in a serene maple grove shading the shoreline of the lake.  You have two (2) options to access the campground;

  1. Hike in via Baker Lake Trail 610 (stock and leashed pets allowed). From the Mt. Baker Ranger District office in Sedro-Woolley, WA follow State Route 20 east for 16 miles to milepost 82. Turn left (north) on the Baker Lake Highway (Forest Service Road 11). Continue for 14 miles to the Baker Dam Road and turn right. Drive past the Puget Sound Energy Kulshan Campground and across the Upper Baker Dam. After crossing the dam, turn left on FS Road 1107. Follow road 1107 for 1 mile and look for the trailhead and parking area on the left side of the road. You will need an America the Beautiful pass or a NorthWest Forest Pass to park at the trailhead. Register your group at the trailhead and get ready to hit the trail.

  Once you start the hike the first real point of interest you come across is the bridge at Anderson Creek at 1.5 miles down the trail, followed by Anderson Creek Campground at 2 miles.  Continue on another 2 miles and you will reach the spur for the Maple Grove campground.

  2. Boat in. When boating in you have a number of over-night parking lot options to park your vehicle in during the summer season, granted you can find parking. In the off-season you can park over-night at either Kulshan boat launch or Panorama Point boat launch which are open year round. 

  Maple Grove campground has a wooden boat dock but depending on water levels I’ve seen it completely beached or floating alone in the water, you’ve been warned. 

  Maple Grove Campground hosts six (6) official, semi-private campsites that you’ll find free on a first come first serve basis. No need to bring the dehydrated meals or bear canister (unless you backpacked) because there are bear boxes located at almost every site to store food and scented items. Each site has a picnic table, fire pit and grill. We found at least one topless toilet located near the camp with a nice view of the forest, rumor has there are more. There is no running water on this side of the lake so bring your water filter to head to the local creeks with.   

  If you do have the pleasure of hiking in to Maple Grove Campground or chose to explore the surrounding area, take the time to check out the forest as it is full of huge, old growth trees, some trees still showing the evidence of old lumbar scars. If you continue hiking past Maple Grove there are two (2) more campgrounds further north along the lake; Swift Creek and Noisy Creek.

  The real pleasure of staying at the Maple Grove Campground or any of the boat-in/hike-in campsites along this side of the lake, are the majestic views of Mount Baker and Mount Shuksun rising up above Baker Lake. You can literally sit on the dock all day soaking up those epic views.

  Warning: I have heard rumors that the boat-in/ hike-in camps along Baker Lake can get rowdy and loud with large group parties in the summer months.  We haven’t had this experience personally but have heard tales of this happening and seen reports of this on WTA.

  Maple Grove Campsites

  Peaceful, lakefront campgrounds with views of Mt Baker and Mt Shuksan

  These campgrounds are about a 4 mile hike in from the trailhead. Plenty of wild berries, flowers, and ferns along the way. We had fun just relaxing under the Big Leaf Maple trees. Each campground has a flat tent site. Some also have fire pits with grills and picnic tables, but not all. There is a pit toilet and urine diverter on site. There are also a couple bear boxes to share, as bear (and deer!) roam this area. The lake is lovely, though it was a bit too cold in June to swim. There is a small floating dock on the lake. Spectacular views of Mt Baker and Mt Shuksan - be sure to watch the sunset. Boaters frequent this lake so there is a bit of motor noise, but this doesn't bother me. Dog-friendly campsite. This made for a very relaxing overnight backpacking trip!
