Thousand Trails Birch Bay Resort

We loved our stay here even though the borders were closed and we couldn’t go to Canada as planned. {COVID}

The park has an awesome “forest” in between phases 1 and 2 my kids made so many friends and memories over our few weeks here!

Laundry room was clean and machines always available. They have a machine so you can use your card, made things Easy.

Phase 1 was shady but phase 2 had more space and it was quiet.

Lots to do in the surrounding area, beach, Mt. Baker, Bellingham, Seattle are close enough to visit!

Staff is very strict on the 5mph speed limit .. they might tell you 10x at check in but it’s good overall for the kids.

We enjoyed our one week stay at Birch Bay. This Thousand Trails park has large sites and 2 loops. One loop is more shade and the other is pretty much out in the open.

There is a clubhouse, pool, clean bathrooms, laundry on site, ice and a small store are a few of the nice amenities this campground offers. This park is also close to the beach for swimming and other water fun.

There is no dog park within the campground and dogs must be kept on a leash. We took our dog to a local dog park near Blaine or to the beach. However, there is a nice walking path that we walked her on within the park.

This is a nice park for big rigs like us, large pull-through sites and wide roads help when parking the rig. Full hookups are also a bonus! It was quiet during the week we were there, although it was pretty full by the weekend. You can even face your friend's camper if camping together.

Cell service was limited to Verizon and AT&T in the park. T-Mobile worked in town.

This is a well maintained TT campground in a great location near the waterfront town of Birch Bay. The sites can be a bit close together, and the central hookups for 4 sites would be annoying if all sites were full, fortunately they were not for our visit so it was all very good. Clean bathrooms, friendly staff and a number of activities on site. Definitely worth heading in to Birch Bay, and down to the State park too for some beach front open space. Close to Bellingham if you need any supplies, and decent access into Vancouver.

We've stayed here twice using an RPI membership.

It's pretty close (short bike/walk) to Birch Bay which has a couple nice little restaurants and hangout place. Sunsets are worth the walk.

There are two areas, one with trees, one without. We stayed in the trees.

The sites are setup in a 4-plex so you're right next to other campers, but otherwise the sites are a reasonable size. No real privacy between sites.

It costs money at this park for visitors to come in. Kind of awkward when trying to have family in the area visit.

Cell Access is limited, but with a booster I was able to work and use video conferencing for meetings.
