Best Campgrounds near Deming, WA

Campgrounds near Deming, Washington provide options ranging from established facilities to farm-based camping experiences. The region includes both state parks like Silver Lake Park with tent and RV sites, and private farmstead accommodations such as Oostema Farmstead, which offers rustic camping with modern amenities. Several campgrounds provide cabin rentals, particularly in the Glacier Springs area where Mt. Baker Lodging maintains cabins with hot tubs and other amenities. Within a 30-mile radius, campers can find KOA facilities in Lynden with family-friendly amenities, state park campgrounds with water access, and small farm retreats.

Road conditions and weather patterns significantly affect camping accessibility in the Deming area, particularly at higher elevations near Mt. Baker. Winter snow often closes forest roads from November through May, while summer brings optimal camping conditions. As one visitor noted, "We went hiking twice, and loved every second of it. As you can see from my pictures, flowers were in full bloom and were absolutely gorgeous." Most established campgrounds in the region offer water and toilet facilities, though amenities vary widely from primitive sites to full-service RV parks with hookups. Reservations are strongly recommended during summer months when popular campgrounds like Silver Lake Park fill quickly, especially on weekends and holidays.

The camping experience near Deming is characterized by mountain views, farm landscapes, and water access. Campgrounds at Silver Lake and along the North Fork Nooksack River provide waterfront opportunities for fishing and swimming. Private farmstead camping offers unique experiences—one camper described Oostema Farmstead as having "a beautiful view of mountains and farmland" where they could "pet/feed the cows, goat, and pig." Most campground reviews highlight the peaceful settings and natural beauty. Family-friendly options include the Lynden-Bellingham KOA, which several visitors praised for its amenities for children, including a playground, swimming pool, and arcade. Tent sites at established campgrounds typically provide fire rings and picnic tables, while cabins offer more comfortable accommodations for those seeking alternatives to traditional camping.

    Riverfront RV Park

    Good!

    Good little RV park, within walking distance of a dog park, children's park and public bathrooms which is nice. Only downside is that there is not septic at the spots which for $40 a night I would think that they would, but the water is clean and overall the whole lot is nicely kept up with and clean.

    Blake's RV Park & Marina

    Decent spot close to lots of nature activities, snowgoose produce stand is down the road and worth a visit may through September.

    Small rv park with mostly full timers. Tent sites with power right next to the river. Open gravel camping. Not great water access. Bathroom, shower uses quarters, laundry room, boat launch. Craft island hiking trail is great, I recommend walking it barefoot till you get out to the island. If the tide is out you have many acres of sand bar to walk out into the bay. Boat launch available. Some spots have full hookups.

    NF Dispersed Camping

    Best Spot along PNW

    This was our favorite site during our PNW road trip from Alabama. We found this site tucked amongst the trees; a very large clearing creek side. The turn in was tight so ended up having to back our Ram 3500 (DRW) towing tear drop in due to narrow opening between two large trees. Once on site the setup was easy; level ground. No cell service but the sound of the creek was all the music we needed. There is a small path to the creek but requires a small climb up.

    The morning we were able to watch a fish swim upstream and large buck taking a stroll along the creek.

    We did not see any busted up cars like a previous reviewer but there was a grill that was used as target practice. Overall great site.

    Thousand Trails Mount Vernon

    Private wooded site

    I loved the forest here. It was a very wooded site. Groceries were reasonably priced. We took a day trip to the cascades.

    NF Dispersed Camping

    Beautiful spot for truck camping. Do not recommend for rvs.

    Lovely spot right by the National park. We camped in our truck.

    The road was rough. We have a 27 foot rv I would not bring any trailers down here. Vans were there.

    Baker Pull-Off

    Pull-off site

    Cute little off the road site. About 6 cars drove by throughout the night and into the morning, it was Friday so that was expected. There’s 2 little walkways down to your own little private section of the lake. Beautiful.

    Baker Lake Road Dispersed Campsite

    Peaceful Camping

    Stopped here in the month of September and there were very few people around the lake. Quiet and beautiful views! We parked our vehicle off the road at the top of the flat and walked down to the lake for sunrises and sets. Definitely set up for a good time during the summer break with rope swings hanging from the branches. Star link works OK here.

    Baker Lake Tent camping

    Beautiful tent site

    Didn’t stay here but hiked in it and it’s very spacious. There are 2 fire rings set up with an uppper and lower camping option. The lower is right by a river that spills into the lake on the other side of the road.

    Old Quarry by Sulphur Creek

    Unofficial Forest Gun range

    This is exactly as described in the title of this review. It’s set up as an unofficial forest gun range. We came on a Wednesday evening where it wasnt occupied or being used, but we’ll probably just stay here one night and find something better. The roads have lots of potholes getting here… probably won’t stay here again, but starling does work well considering it is a big open spot.
