Site 4- MALIBU

Super convenient location

Very good communication and a great little spot. The location is close to a lot of wonderful local parks (and Bellingham) and would be a good jumping off point for the North Cascades. The hosts are very responsive and accommodating. Our site was lovely, and the fire pits are some of the nicest we’ve seen. The porta-johns were a short walk from our site (Malibu) and were clean and well maintained. You can hear I-5 a bit, but honestly after about five minutes it fades away and we didn’t notice it at all for the rest of our stay. Nice little fountain and pond on the property, too. We’ll definitely be back next season.

Site 4- MALIBU

I enjoyed a peaceful two-night solo camping trip. Despite the rain and wind, which I actually love, it was a truly heavenly experience. This was my fifth time camping at this location, but my first without my fiancé. It's always my favorite place to escape.

SITE 6- KOI

We came down for a weekend of mountain biking at Galbraith and were looking for somewhere to camp that was nearby and wouldn't break the bank and this was the perfect spot. The site (#6, Koi) was clean, private and spacious with a huge firepit. The complimentary wood bundle was a nice touch. The fountain in the Koi pond provides really nice white noise that muffles the sound of the highway and other campers. We both remarked that the bathrooms were the cleanest portapotties we had ever used, haha. It's an 8min drive from Galbraith so great for bikers, would recommend.

RV SITE BLUE

Great experience

Very responsive hosts. We really enjoyed our visit. We were there on a quiet weekend. There are 3 RV sites and we were by ourselves so it may be a different feel if all the sites are full as they are side by side out in the open. You hear the din of the freeway but it's not even as loud as I recall anytime I've stayed next to the ocean. This would actually be an even better place if you tent camp as those sites are private and deeper in the woods. Over all we got exactly what we were looking for. Brought our bikes and it's an easy flat ride around lake Satish with very little traffic. We would for sure recommend staying here for a night or two if you are traveling through to Canada or something like that. We live local and just wanted a quick weekend get away that wasn't far from home. This site fit the bill perfectly.

RV SITE RED

Would recommend

We loved our cozy spot! No bees for us, just some unique slugs. We enjoyed our morning views of the mountains and walking the grounds with our pup showed the beauty of each site. They have a great place here.

SITE 9- DUKE

Very nice and quiet. Everything I needed for a perfect trip. Lake Padden is very close. Wish I had brought my kayak. They have an REI 15 min away if you forgot anything.
