Camping

Larrabee State Park | Reservations Required

245 Chuckanut Drive, Bellingham, WA 98229

Set on the seaward side of Chuckanut Mountain near Bellingham, Larrabee State Park is known for its postcard views of Samish Bay and the San Juan Islands. Come enjoy this 2,748-acre camping park and explore 8,100 feet of saltwater shoreline. It's no wonder that this iconic outdoor locale was established as Washington's first state park. Noise warning: Railroad tracks

Be prepared for railroad noise when visiting the park. Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad and Amtrak actively use the Burlington Northern railroad track that runs through the park day and night. The track runs through the park and bisects the main day-use and camping area. The noisiest areas are sites 42-49, group camp (G1) and walk-in sites W1-W8.

Birch Bay State Park | Reservations Required

5105 Helweg Road, Blaine, WA 98230 (25 minutes north of Bellingham)

Set in a blue cove between Bellingham and Blaine, Birch Bay State Park gives you a private and secluded feel without being too far from urban life.
