    Camping near Point Roberts includes options just south of the Canadian border, ranging from tent sites to RV spaces along the Pacific Northwest coastline. Larrabee State Park Campground has trails that lead to beaches and works well for families who want to explore the coastline. Not far away, Birch Bay State Park Campground draws campers with its long sandy shoreline where you can swim and play in the water. The local rangers enforce permit rules and seasonal fire bans to keep the forests safe. Bears and smaller animals roam these woods, so hanging food or using bear canisters keeps your campsite safer. During summer weekends, these campgrounds fill quickly, but the online booking system makes it easy to lock in a spot ahead of time. The Pacific Northwest weather can change rapidly, so packing rain gear is smart even for summer trips. Many campers come to this area for the quiet compared to busier parks, with good hiking paths, fishing spots, and protected bays for paddling. From tent sites to RV spaces, the Point Roberts area serves both families and solo campers equally well.

      Mountain Lake Campground — Moran State Park

      Fabulous location

      What a wonderful spot for boating and hiking. There are several trail options and the boat put in (electric or paddle only) is steps away. The loop is small and sites and the sites are fairly close together, but it is worth it for the access. If you can get an outer loop site you will have a lake view out your door. The first few sites around the loop has some sun this time of year and the rest are mostly shade, but that is the northwest! Note that mice are pesty here - I had 3 make themselves at home in my van so be careful if you have any access holes (I will be fixing mine from where the heater was installed) or if you plan to leave the doors open. Pit toilets are really clean, and there is water, garbage and recycling.

      When I made my reservation all the sites were taken, but the first night there were only 3 of us in the loop. Last night is was nearly full, but thankfully the sites right next to me were both open. It was pretty smoky from the fires and you could hear everything fellow campers were up to, so if it was packed and there were any loud groups it would be pretty miserable.

      West Beach Resort

      Beautiful 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.

      Odlin County Park Camping - Lopez Island

      A real gem

      I had the great fortune of being here off season, and there were very few fellow campers. Many campsites are right on the water and there is a great mix of car camping and walk-in sites. There is a group site, and some short hiking trails. The beauty is the beach and water and the amazing night sky. The pit toilets are clean and it is a laid back place. During the busy season the beach sites would be tight. Very few van/trailer sites so pay attention to the website because it has everything g you need to know.

      Washington Park Campground

      Overnight stay

      Great spot to stay while visiting the area. There are trails to hike and wildlife to observe in camp. We needed to charge batteries so opted for a full hook-up site. The sites are nestled in the trees giving you some privacy from other campers. One thing to note is that the main restrooms are already closed for the season. Half the available restroom/shower combinations for the TH and boat ramp were closed as well. I spoke with a camp host who stated they were having vandalism problems and were in need of repairs to the drainage systems so they opted to close them early. The water in the CG was still on and the dump station was also operational.
      Overall a great place to stay while visiting Anacortes.

      Thousand Trails Mount Vernon

      Rest Area- 8 HR limit

      Decent 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

      Swinomish Casino & Lodge RV Park

      Meh! Adequate

      It’s prolly a good spot if you are here for the Casino. If not, it’s a good spot for a break along the way to someplace cool. The RV park it self has the basics. The view is okay. I’ve been by here several times and there is generally a sewage smell. My one night stay was no different. The reason I’ve been by here several times is there is a pretty massive field if you have a dog. Fun to watch mine run wild and get some exercise.

      Deception Pass State Park Campground

      Check the training schedule before you camp here!

      The 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.

      Silver Lake County Park

      A fabulous county park

      The 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.

      Lake Erie Campground

      A really nice area to camp

      Behind the small well kept store is the lawned campground for tenters, or RVs. The flat area is well kept grass on the shoreline of Lake Erie and has a dock. New orange tables for each site. Looming across the road is wonderful Mt. Erie and the Anacortes Community Forest Lands with many trails for all levels. Trail maps online, and one can connect to a trail just walking a short bit. Mt Erie has a gorgeous view of the San Juans, Whidbey Island, Olympics, Cascades and eagles flying by. The south face has many rock climbs for all levels, even at least one 5.13! A noted area for newbies trying rock climbing, with someone to assist.

      There are basically no trees, but with the grass and sunshine, wonderful. Downtown Anacortes is about 10 minutes away. Scenic Deception Pass to Whidbey Island less than that, or a nearby trail makes a scenic hike to the bridge. A great place to explore so many things.

    Guide to Point Roberts

    Point Roberts camping is located on a unique geographical peninsula that requires crossing into Canada to access from mainland USA unless arriving by boat. The area sits at sea level with a moderate coastal climate where temperatures rarely exceed 75°F in summer or drop below 30°F in winter. During off-peak seasons, campgrounds often operate at 30-40% capacity compared to full occupancy during summer holiday weekends.

    What to do

    **Shellfish harvesting: ** At Birch Bay State Park Campground, clamming and crabbing are popular activities during low tide. "This has to be one of my all time favorite places for Shell Fishing and Crabbing! Dont forget your Shellfish license and hit those beaches at low tide, because dinner is going to be delicious!" notes Dani H.

    Explore China Caves: The sandstone formations at Sucia Island Marine State Park offer unique geological features. "The northern beach of Shallow Bay is sandy, warm water and home to the China Caves. The Caves are fun to climb around in and have a fun history of hiding smugglers," explains Kelsey M.

    Visit the International Boundary: Near Lighthouse Marine Park, visitors can see Monument Park with the first mile marker for the US/Canada Boundary. "It's right near Monument Park (where the first mile marker is for US/Canada Boundary Market 1)," mentions allison W.

    What campers like

    Beachfront sunsets: Camping near Point Roberts provides exceptional sunset views over the Strait of Georgia. A camper at Birch Bay State Park notes, "If you're the type that loves walks along the beach and breath taking sunsets... Brich Bay State Park is the place to be!"

    Phosphorescence viewing: Nighttime water activities reveal bioluminescent organisms. "The absolute best phosphorescence I have ever seen in my life were in Echo Bay," shares Kelsey M. about Sucia Island State Park Campground.

    Marine wildlife sightings: The waters around Point Roberts are known for orcas and marine mammals. "I loved their quirky orca decor, a testament to how frequently you can see these incredible animals passing by Point Roberts," writes allison W. about Sunny Point RV Resort.

    What you should know

    Naval air traffic: Some campgrounds experience periodic jet noise from nearby military operations. "Crazy crowded and crazy loud with the military jets overhead (Naval Air Base nearby) – but beautiful none the less. It's good to note that the jets do shut off around 5 pm and there is plenty of quite time from that point on," explains Travis D. about Deception Pass State Park.

    Limited amenities: Most remote sites have minimal services. At Lighthouse Marine Park, "There is a bathroom and 1 shower that takes quarters," notes SpentBrassOffroad B.

    Strong currents: Boaters should exercise caution when anchoring near the islands. "A little bit hard to get to, the cove on Patos boasts strong currents that require you to anchor with care if not using one of the few mooring buoys," warns Kelsey M.

    Tips for camping with families

    Shallow water play areas: Birch Bay offers gradual water entry points ideal for children. "Ewuipment: 30' Travel Trailer. Stayed in South Campgrounds. Road through campsites are a little tight, but we fit!! Dump station at the from of the park. Campsites are gorgeous and relaxing!! Big trees. Lots of foilage. Hiking trails to beach!! Beach is gorgeous - rocks, driftwood, sunsets, and water is a little bit cold!" describes Ben C.

    Playground options: Lighthouse Marine Park includes recreational facilities for children. "Some highlights included the beautiful coastline along the Tsawwassen Peninsula, views over the Strait of Georgia, perfect location for boat launching, orca whales, crystal clear weather, much less wind than I had expected, great shell collecting, an actual sandy beach (rare in the PNW), very kid friendly with a nice playground and plenty of open green space," shares allison W.

    Off-season visits: For fewer crowds, consider spring or fall camping. "Busy on the weekend but nearly empty come Monday," notes Ana about Moran State Park.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection: Choose campgrounds with adequate turning radius for larger vehicles. "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. Phase two was full, with no trees. Sites were big and wide," cautions J C. about Thousand Trails Birch Bay.

    Utility hookups: Not all parks offer full hookups. "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," mentions Natalie M.

    Winter operations: Some campgrounds remain open year-round. "The only campground open in the winter at Deception Pass State Park is the Quarry Pond area. And even though the weather was wet and cold the campground was far from empty during our stay," shares Erica G.
