Unlike a lot of Thousand Trails parks, this one is easy to navigate. Roads are wide enough for 2 vehicles to pass each other, making it easy to back into a site. There are also several pull-through sites. Almost every site in this campground has full hook ups. There are a few that don't and they are pointed out to you when you check in. Sites are spacious and there is plenty of room to be outside. One area doesn't really have any shade trees, but that wasn't a problem for us. Dish satellite and AT&T cell worked well. Verizon MiFi worked, but it was slow. We would definitely stay here again if in the area. - Bobbi1948

This is a large Thousand Trails campground. It had a kids room, adults room, heated pool, dog area (gated), and playground. Also we heard of planned activities for kids but did not participate. It did not have individual fire pits but you could rent a portable fire pit for $5/day. Since it is a Thousand Trails (member campground), it looked like quite a few seasonal and/or permanent residents, mainly looking like a retirement community, although we talked to a few families that also lived there full time (eg: more of a trailer park than RV campground). No cellular service with Sprint, Canadian TV only. They seemed to enforce very strict rules about the park. It's very quiet and clean. - Tess85

Friends had recommended that we stay in Phase 2, which we did - sites in phase 1 have 4 rigs sharing one utility area, but there are trees in phase 1 which would probably be desirable if it was warmer. The pull-throughs in phase 2 have the utilities between two rigs so if it was full and if you both have slide-outs, you could probably easily share conversation and maybe coffee between rigs. Verizon service was good. Phase 2 was going to be closing on October 1 when they enter limited services for the winter. Our nightly rate was $0 with Thousand Trails Family Courtesy card. - pattic777

We stayed here again this year for our "week out" of the park that's closer to our family. It's a long drive from here to Everett, but there aren't many choices and this one's free for us as 30-year Leisure Time members (the name of this group of campgrounds before Thousand Trails purchased them). We struggled to find a spot that was long enough for us, but finally managed to get to one in the E section - it looks like they've recently done some grading of sites in there; lots of wood/tree debris pushed around. That section is entered with a very steep downhill part, but we managed OK in our 68' rig. Our site was fairly easy to back into, but not very level. We didn't use any of the amenities this time except the bathroom, and two of the centrally located bathrooms were closed - one had porta-potties outside. They have four others, one near the pool. It was some problem with the electricity, people were getting shocked in the showers! They had been dealing with the electric company for some time and not getting very far it seems. As mentioned before, this park is long and parallels the freeway, so expect some noise. It's fairly constant, which makes it like white noise. Lots of trees, it's a wooded, rustic experience. Sites are first-come, first served. Don't expect a sewer site, there are only 17 of those. They'll put you on a waiting list, but who wants to move once you're already set up? Just plan on using your own tanks and their bathrooms. The dump station is awkward for rigs as big as ours, we dumped at the rest area on I-5. Southbound there's one near Arlington and another near Marysville, with multiple dump lanes and easy access. Northbound, there's one just past the freeway entrance from the campground. You can actually see it from the campground if you hike around the perimeter trail. Drive out Bow Rd across the freeway and you can turn right at the Bow Post Office intersection at Hwy 11 and be on Chuckanut Drive. It's a nice drive with views of the water, and a state park. The drive ends in Bellingham, a nice place to explore. College town, so plenty of cheap and interesting places to eat and drink. - Denise and Glenn

We had previously stayed at this campground in Sept 2017 - it was quite rainy then, so we did not spend much time outside our rig. This time, we stayed only 2 days, but we had friends come to visit so we spend a good time outside the rig. Even though the traffic noise on I-5 was definitely noticeable, it wasn't so loud as to make conversation difficult outside the rig. - pattic777
Sep 2017 - $1.00
This campground is right along I-5, so although you cannot see it, you can hear traffic pretty continuously. Friends had cautioned us to have the windows down in the Jeep when we were selecting a site so we would hear whether the traffic noise was disturbing. We knew that the site had traffic noise, but thought that with the windows closed on the bus, we wouldn't hear it... it wasn't so loud as to be disruptive, but it was constant. The campground is very wooded and very long - if you select a site in the back, just driving in and out of the campground can take a while (at 5 MPH). Our nightly rate was $0 as Thousand Trails Family Courtesy Card holders. - pattic777

We've stayed here numerous times over the years and the place is showing its age. A lot of permanent residents with rundown RVs, dead or dying landscaping. Zero trees for shade. Like the other reviews stated, this ain't no destination, simply a place to stay the night while you're enroute to somewhere else. It's a shame, because the Bellingham area has a lot to offer. - Boonville Jim

Very easy off I5, right in Bellingham, handy to Bellis Fair SS and all services. Hookups accessible. Quite a few permanent residents. Manager is always friendly and efficient. I would not consider this a "destination park", but more of a place to stop on the way to somewhere else. Good TV and wifi. - flugelboneman

Older RV park with many long term or permanent residents. Near airport but with very little noise disruption. Some highway and train noise. Very friendly staff. Park has recycling center. Reservation was mistakenly made for a 33 foot motorhome instead of 40 foot - assigned a shorter site; however, coach and tow car able to fit. We stayed here for a couple of days to resupply coach before entering Canada. - should have allowed a couple of days to explore area. - Lonestar44

No credit cards accepted. Near grocer, gas station, and restaurants. Noise from I-5 not that bad. Wide enough paved sites with grass. Good Wi-Fi. Have stayed there several times. Good over nighter. - anon125

We stayed here for 2 weeks. This is a very nice park with huge sites. Each site is surrounded by tall shrubs so it feels very private. Staff are helpful & friendly. Can be pretty noisy depending on your location in the park. Huge pool. Excellent free WiFi near the office and they have lots of seating both indoors and outside so you're comfy while surfing the web. WiFi at our site was spendy...$6 daily for 2 devices. Also $3 per day for cable tv. So it was an expensive stay for us, but we love the location and the park itself. We would definitely stay again. - Arizona Nancy

Stay here while cruising from Vancouver. We left the RV in storage with electric service..GREAT! Stayed 3 days to provision. Great location. Little bit noisy due to highway, depending on location in park. - ca murphs

Nice neat park with good space between sites. I think this is a Canadian rv club park but they have sites available for the "off the road" folks. We didnt have a reservation and even though it was a weekend, there was a big site available. We stayed here 3 nights just resting from a two month trip to Alaska. I was able to get laundry done. Lots of kids because it was a weekend and they have a nice pool. - MonTex

One of the reasons we picked this place is because of the fitness center. Several of the machines (not very many in total) did not work. No heat in the room (51 degrees outside). So, that was a bust. The sites are grass and dirt. Thank goodness it wasn't raining. Also, the sites are close. It's mostly a full time park and looks like it. For an overnight, I guess it was OK. However, there are a lot of RV places in Bellingham. I think I should have looked further. - Ken Sawczyn

Muddy. Hated the head to tails (they call it) parking. No privacy, door to door. - Bsvls
Aug 2017 - $36.00
Trailers standing heads to tails allowing more space and privecy. Internet can be available when site is close to the office.
The host is very kindly and there is a good atmosphere in the C.G, we enjoyed and sure will come again. - summerdude

A very clean, well-maintained state park just south of Bellingham. The Chuckanut Road leading to the park is fine to navigate coming from the north, but not from the south due to sharp turns with protruding rocks. Excellent hiking trails, either flat, or up the mountain. Nice beach access. Trains pass through the park, but I'm a heavy sleeper so it didn't bother me. - EarthTrek

We camped for three nights here, in February. Taking into account the water was off at the sites for the winter, we did enjoy the location. Some of the sites are great and quite a few have extreme slopes. So much so, some units might be challenged to get level (larger;longer units; fore and aft). Our site was quite level and I think during busier times these sites may be picked up quickly. Short walk to a beautiful beach and great views. Depending on your tolerance level, some may find the train proximity troubling. Knowing it is there and coming a few times a night, didn't bother me much (reminded me of the Polar Express movie). Bathrooms were okay. Could use a bit more cleaning, both in frequency and extent. Certainly the conditions may be due to time of year. I highly suggest that those towing standard width or wider trailers approach the campsite from the north, as the road south out from this location has some tight sections, out to I5. Hosts were very pleasant and helpful. Three stars due to bathrooms and the number of unlevel sites (and because some may not have liked the Polar Express ;-) We stayed with a 20ft Hybrid Trailer (folded out to 27'). - Bob the Camper

Heavily forested. Campground road was paved, and a bit narrow. Sites were dirt and also a little narrow. The sites inside the loop back into each other, so there is little privacy. The sites on the outside of the loop appeared to have more privacy- but were still tight. There is a train nearby. It didn’t bother us, but one section of the campground (that we weren’t in) was a sign warning of loud train sounds (I think it was sites 42-46 or something like that). - Bitbucket

Very dirty park with no pavement. Stepped in cat waste everywhere I went. It's close to the freeway so you hear trucks all night long. No facilities to wash clothes. Manager is hard to get in contact with. My site is all dirt and there is no grass. I am having a hard time getting my motorhome level. - johnpmcelroy

I am having electrical problems and currently use a makeshift electrical cord which wont do when it gets cold. Manager does not take care of sites. Up to tenants only. - johnpmcelroy

They rate themselves as a 5 star resort...... more like a 1 star gravel pit! Dirt roads = lots of dust. Drivers speed through the park stirring up dust. There was a few golf carts & ATVs ripping around as well like it was a race track. Contacting security to complain was a waste of time. The sites are perfectly spaced, if you'd like to read your neighbors newspaper from within your own RV. Our site was a back in, not level and very poor power. The water tap is shared with the site beside, which is OK if either has a hose splitter to share the tap. Sewer hookups were not positioned very well. People seem to let their dogs drop their turds anywhere, the ones that do pick up after their pets toss their little poo bags under parked Canadian RV's. Bathrooms & showers were not very clean, but that's really the patrons. I wonder if they live in filth in their own homes? Didn't get a chance to try the pool but it seemed to look OK. The kids pool was busy. Can't remember what we paid, my wife takes care of that. The owners seem to be content with their membership campers to bother upgrading/fixing the park so there's nothing really there to make it an enjoyable stay for us. - luv2tup

We are members but it was the first time we came to this campground. First impressions were poor. But the place grew on us as we were there. We enjoyed the kids running around and playing, even though we didn't have one of our own. There are a lot of activities and the pools are very nice. Birch Bay State Park is probably less than a mile away, Nice place to spend the day, but not walking distance. In general, the campground is not a bad place to visit. - Russell G

Good: Price Bad: Children everywhere, zipping in and out of moving rvs and cars. Scraped motorhome on low hanging branches. "Pick your own site" system has tents in the 50 amp spaces and rvers driving around. Buddy system sites in most of the park so you are directly beside your neighbor. You are allowed to depart any time of the day on your departure date so families leaving stay until 6 pm or so and then the incoming reservations have to go to dry camping and wait until the park empties out. The sites are allowed one rv and 10 guests per site. It was simply a free for all environment. People burning campfires even tho explicit signs saying fire hazard. Employee walking around looking for a couple of "older boys" who were selling STUFF to "young kids". Very poorly run. Would not stay again. - Eureka12

There are mostly long term rentals but they have about a dozen or so spaces in the front for travelers like us. This is an open field, with hookups. We left RV here and drove car to Vancouver. Big rig friendly. Good satelite reception in open field. Not a pretty place but nice place to park when sightseeing in the area. Good Verizon signal. Birch Bay state park is not big rig friendly! - OnTheRoadLife

This is a quiet park just up the street from Birch Bay. A nice walk or bike ride will get you there and to Birch Bay State Park. The campground is mostly permanent guests, sites are level, and good sized. We were in a nice spot that we backed into a big field, so you had plenty of room behind you. Wi Fi was fair. No problems with satellite dish. We never saw one camp employee. When we arrived, our paperwork was on the door (11:30 am) The sign said the office was open at 10 am and 4pm. I guess if you needed someone you would have to go then! Very odd, but again, most there are permanent seasonals, so I'm sure they would have advice if needed. Lawn guys were a hired local outfit. The park is tidy and pretty manicured. There are some very unsightly, rundown sites that really ruin the overall esthetics of the park. It always amazes us that owners let this happen. The laundry room is centrally located and small. 3 washers, 4 dryers in a very small room. No place to fold clothes, and you're really out of luck if someone else is in there! Location is convenient to the Canadian border for day trips to Vancouver. Overall a safe, quiet campground with few amenities. Would stay here again. - KSAM14

This quiet park sits just 10 minutes from the bay on foot. It has a smooth paved road that leads to level gravel sites easily accessible by big rigs. The pull-thru campsites sit on the edge of a large grass area giving them a very open feel. There is grass between each site, a little wider most than most parks, with picnic table and fire ring. Plenty of room for 4 slides and an awning with no trees to block your satellite dish. Free WiFi worked fine as did our sprint phone and 3G. Grounds were clean and well cared for. Bathrooms and laundry were also clean and maintained. Most of the park is filled with full timers, so there are some very old, unsightly rigs surrounded by clutter, but the residents were all friendly and quiet. - Road Train
