Set in a blue cove between Bellingham and Blaine, Birch Bay State Park feels private and secluded without being far from urban life. Stroll along the rocky beach and take in dramatic views of the North Cascades Mountains and Canadian Gulf Islands. Or head up the Terrell Marsh interpretive trail to a rare saltwater and freshwater estuary teeming with birds and wildlife, including great blue herons. Low tide reveals a wide mudflat with a treasure trove of clams and other shellfish that can be harvested in season. Bring out the pails, shovels, mud boots and licenses, and start digging! If you prefer to swim, Birch Bay is known for its relatively warm water, and if you'd rather be on the water, the park offers excellent crabbing, windsurfing, sailing and paddling. Staying overnight? Birch bay camping has a basketball court and environmental education programs in summer ensure fun for the whole family. If you're looking for a side trip, the U.S.- Canada border town of Blaine and the fascinating Peace Arch State Park are only 9 miles north, and the lively university city of Bellingham is 20 miles south. You can always spend an evening in town and return to the beachy bliss of Birch Bay.

While the Farmstead is tranquil, you may hear farm equipment occasionally from the neighboring farms and on our farm. We do have workers that access the Raspberry Fields from the driveway on our property and, unfortunately, we cannot predict when they will be working in the fields – our work on the farm is controlled by nature

This offers 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths with a large living room, kitchenette, and private patio. Or if you are into Tiny Living, our Tiny Farmhouse is also available.– and they are listed on Airbnb, a great option if you have a group vacation.

Doe Bay, once a secret gem of the Pacific Northwest, has a long, colorful history and a loyal group of fans and followers both local and worldwide.
The accommodations are rustic and charming, but the real Doe Bay experience lies beyond your cabin, yurt or tent.
It may be what you feel when you walk quietly to the tip of Meditation Point and stand alone, except for the active sea life playing in front of you. It may strike you when you return from a vigorous hike up Mt. Constitution and relax with your friends in the sauna or the soaking tubs. It will certainly happen when you eat a meal at the Doe Bay Café.
We invite you to visit and discover for yourself the remarkable, ineffable quality of this place.
Magic Happens Here
(We hear it all the time.) It may have been a life-changing solo retreat, a reunion that transforms a family dynamic forever, a wedding that made their dreams come true, or a simple vacation of lazy mornings and easy days, but whatever the occasion, our guests say it all the time, and we believe it.
We invite you to visit us and experience the magic of Doe Bay, an icon of the Pacific Northwest.
Stay
Stay at Doe Bay in one of our cabins, yurts, or campsites. We have something for everyone on 38 acres of the most beautiful, pristine waterfront land on the San Juan Islands.
Dine
The secret is out: the Doe Bay Café, along with the Doe Bay Garden, has become a superb eco-friendly gourmet restaurant, offering fresh and healthy “seed-to-table” cuisine that is getting national attention and delighting “foodies” from near and far.
Relax and Renew
Hike our hills and wander our beaches. Get a massage or practice yoga. Meditate in your own special spot. Relax your body and mind in our sauna and soaking tubs. Connect with friends old and new around the community fire ring. Doe Bay is the place to unwind, retreat and renew.
Play and Explore
Home to the amazing summer music festival, Doe Bay Fest, we also spotlight some of the Northwest’s favorite emerging bands and host unique events year-round. And during the days, we’d love to help you explore all the activities the island has to offer. Celebrate wedding (2)

Very nice campground,! Very nice campsite! And very clean restrooms ! And has a family restroom/shower room which makes it very nice! We love it are returning
Traveler
We love this campground our kids love it too. The kiddos always want to go camping here when we ask them!! Great staff really nice campsites. Beautiful beach bring the kites
Scout
This is a beautiful campground with plenty of hiking opportunities and gorgeous views. It’s close to a highway so you can hear the road but not a ton of traffic through the campground. We stayed on the Quarry Pond side which seems a bit smaller and more private. Nice wide open campsites with a power hookup and clean water. Plenty of amenities nearby as well, the 76 gas station on the edge of the campground is full of supplies; food wise and gear wise. Doesn’t feel so isolated and in the middle of nowhere but still plenty out of the city.
TravelerBeautiful, excellently maintained campground with clean bathrooms and free showers. Setting is really beautiful and there are many things to see and do that are close by. Campsite was immaculate and large with a fire pit and picnic table.
Scout
We called early afternoon and asked if they had a space for that night for a fifth wheel with total rig length 53ft. Nice grass around all the campsites, 50 Amp electricity, water and sewer. Picnic table at every site. Lovely location but it can be noisy due to proximity to road and navy jets. Overall a great place I will stay again.
TravelerWe live about a 20 min drive from silver lake. We go often , sometimes to just go hike around the trails and have lunch, we also take day trips to the lake there and go kayaking and ALWAYS have fun there nice big lake and fun for the kiddos too! Easy boat launch access! And we do camp there a couple times a year we love the camp site layouts and availability
Guide
We had a great stay here - sites are nice, close to others but still good privacy. Everything was clean and well taken care of. Great outdoor shower Loved the meat that we bought. Would definitely come back.
Guide
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. Water close by for filling our tank. Short walk to an amazing beach.
Guide
If you need wifi to plan your next days this location is not for you. Wifi available at the lodge only and very slow. Except for that the site is big, nothing specific regarding amenities
LegendGreat 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.
TravelerMy husband and I visited the Bowman Bay campground to celebrate our second wedding anniversary and it was one of the best camping trips we've had! This campground was lovely, a smaller campground right on the beach with great hiking trails to Lottie Point and Lighthouse Point. If you are going to camp at this campground, get campsite 279! It is by far the best one in this campground! It is not RV accessible however.
It's a large site that is a bit more elevated than the rest, with a wall of foliage behind it and no immediate neighbor campsites (the nearest on is on the other side of your parking spot, but your parking spot is beside your campsite and not near it.) It's a really lovely campsite.
Scout
This is the very first park I took my motorhome to. After spending a year getting the rig ready, I was finally ready to take it on the road. I had joined Thousand Trails earlier in the year and set off to see what I knew. While I had previous RVs before (5th Wheel, Class C's, Travel trailers) this was my trip in a Class A.
My first visit to the Thousand Trails La Conner site was great. I was able to find a nice full hook up site at the edge of the park very close to the water.
A couple more visits to the park in the following months gave a less than great experience but still good.
Last week turned a corner. While the staff is still five star level, the park is showing a lot of wear and tear. I counted more than a dozen closed sites. Some of these sites had been closed for a long time. Potholes and ruts in the road made travel unpleasant but the pools of water (and mud) really stood out.
Granted, I was there in February but these issues were not just seasonal. Some of the same sites had been closed for the past few visits to the park.
I hope they start to pay attention to this park because its location is great.
TravelerWe stayed here in February so the whole park was not open. As with all state parks, some spots are better than others. The ranger was very nice, although there for only limited hours. It was quiet and obviously close to Padilla Bay which was a nice walk. Also an easy drive to La Conner and Deception Pass.
GuideDeception Pass State Park is huge and beautiful, perfect for families and photographers. The campsites are open and surrounded by forests, with clean facilities, fire pits, and picnic tables. The staff is super friendly, and our son loved sitting in their golf cart. The hike to see Deception Pass Bridge is awesome. We visited in the fall, and the weather was cool but nice. It’s a great place to explore and take pictures. We had a lot of fun and recommend it to everyone!
ScoutStayed here a couple nights. Pros: Tidy, clean, well run place. Really convenient access to Deception Pass state park (across the street from its entrance) and to Anacortes and San Juan island ferries. Access to laundry (bring quarters, there’s no change machine, or make change while office is open). There’s a fenced dog play area. We were located on the side farther from Hwy 20, so minimal road noise for us.
Cons: The sites are really close together and most don’t have any privacy. There are plentiful street lamps within the campground that caused me to get up from bed and start hanging towels over windows to block the light.
Didn’t hear the jets during our stay; with no tree cover they’d be louder than they were during our stay actually in the well-forested state park.
ScoutBeautiful park, we stayed on Forest Loop area of campsites and the sites there had lots of big trees and shrubbery that helped privatize them. Wonderfully varied terrain between the beaches with beautiful island views (saw an otter on the beach once), Hoypus Point hiking trails through traditional northwest forest/swordfern landscape, and Cranberry Lake with its roped-off swimming area. There were planes from the Air Force base that circled overhead practicing, so not the quietest park, but surprisingly they didn’t bother us - in an rv - though normally I’m noise sensitive. If you plan to visit other WA parks, just get the yearly Discovery Pass state park pass as all the WA parks seem to require it or a $10 parking/entry fee.
GuideClean bathrooms, enough space between vehicles (we had a fairly private spot), easy to access with large car. We saw a deer in the morning in the campground. Walk down to the beach in the morning to see the tide
ScoutFIrst 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.
TravelerA very nice place. Quiet, shady and allows privacy. It is not noticeable that it was full. In the center of the circle there is a large lawn that allows children to play. Walking distance from the ocean. A quiet beach, with a beautiful view
ScoutSite is small, on the website it states it can fit 3 tents, but it only can fit one.
GuideCozy, safe, easy to navigate to spot. Hot showers and nice restroom facilities. Was with friends, but would camp here as a solo female traveler.
Traveler
So loud. Kids on electric scooters, bikes, running through our site. Dogs barking kept us up late and woke us before dawn. Two bathrooms, one was filthy. Broken paddle boats on a dirty pond. In the middle of a residential neighborhood. Would not return.
TravelerJune 2023 dump stations and all campsite sewer hookups are down for maintenance. Nearest offsite dumps are 10 miles away.
GuideWe only stayed for a night while passing through, but found this campground to be clean and appreciated the nice level sites.
GuideWe only stayed overnight but it was great! It was clean and well organized. The view of Padilla Bay through the trees was nice and there are spots with direct views. The walk down to the beach was lovely. I hope to come back and stay longer.
Guide
This place is fun and nice but everything costs money so it’s very expensive
GuideBeautiful location and campground but confusing to find your way around inside
