MAP COORDS TAKE YOU TO THE TRAILHEAD WHERE YOU CAN HIKE TO THIS SITE.

The best place to camp is at Pine Lake on the peninsula. You will see a floating boardwalk that will take you left out to the campsite. These boards can sink a little below the surface after a big rain, so you might get your Gore-Tex boots wet. From here there is some good fishing.Some even pack in float tubes.

Pine and Cedar Lakes Primitive Camping

Steep but short hike, but hey, it's close to town! A 15 minute drive from downtown Bellingham and you get yourself a secluded, quiet lake.

Pone Lake is prettier and has fun boardwalks to explore, but the campsites at Cedar Lake are better (bigger and flatter). Log benches mark the campsites as well as the remnants of past fires, but please mind fire bans, and don't forage!

No toilets, but pets allowed. Bring bug spray! Swimming is possible if you don't harm any shoteplants on your way in.

Cute campground close to home

This is a great campsite.  It's at the end of a short but steep hike.  There are a few campsites along the lakes, but the best one is on the island at Pine lake.  There is a boardwalk that gets you there.  I've camped there a few times and always loved it.  Heads up, it's first come first serve for these sites.
