The Lookout Arts Quarry is a rural forested arts center community, event venue, WWOOF host and permaculture playground dedicated to wetland restoration. We host international artist residencies, festivals, and, important for campers: the best fresh swimming hole around.
This is a campground for more self-sufficient and adventurous folks who want an alternative experience. The forests of the LAQ house myriad art installations and treasures; check out the "Saloon" stage, the pirate ship, and then jump into the 80-foot deep rainwater lake! Bring paddle boards and floating toys đ¤żđŹ lay out in the sun on the floating wooden dock, or squirrel away reading a book in a hammock hidden in dense forest. We guarantee a lovely and unique camping experience.
We are located in the Coast Salish Region on the traditional territory of the Nuwhaha and Nooksack Peoples.Lookout Arts Quarry is an arts cooperative on 61 acres of wetlands and forest, the site of a former rock quarry, just a mile off of I-5. We host festivals, small concerts and art shows, have an artist residency program, a WWOOFer program, and a campground. Some dozen full-time residents live in various abodes around the land. We're very close to Galbraith, a world class mountain-biking destination!
While we want to keep the land open for community use during summer months, our energy is spread thin in providing full-time campground support so our campground is best suited for adventurous, respectful, kind, queer friendly, self sufficient campers able and willing to follow instructions provided on this site and leave no trace, packing out all garbage and recycling.
The former rock quarry has filled with water creating a deep and clean glorious clothing optional swimming hole with no lifeguard on duty. We ask that you don't wear sunscreen or pee in the water.
There is currently one outdoor flush toilet.
