Lighthouse Marine Park

This is such a beautiful and special spot for a campground. One of those places you wake up in the morning and can’t believe that someone had the foresight to set it aside for fellow adventurers who love the outdoors. It was a privilege to stay here.

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. Literally a happy camper.

There isn’t much info out there on this place, so here are some additional notes that might help: It’s a seasonal campground (April through October) and reservations are available on the county website. There is also a picnic shelter available for rent. You can boat in or drive in. It’s right near Monument Park (where the first mile marker is for US/Canada Boundary Market 1).

The main campground has 30 sites, then there are a bunch of reservable group sites. Showers and toilets were clean and well kept. There is a ranger’s office on site but no camp host. Main campground was paved and could take RVs/vans/cars, but group sites need to park and walk in.
