About
State Park
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.

nice facilities
Cozy, safe, easy to navigate to spot. Hot showers and nice restroom facilities. Was with friends, but would camp here as a solo female traveler.
Beautiful!!!
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!
Great campground !
This an awesome campground. Short walk to the beach for some stunning sunsets, my only issue is that there are so few hookup sites and there is an abundance of loud children all through the campgrounds.
