The Chuckanut Rock

1 site ¡ Lodging2 acres ¡ Edison, WA
Watch the sunset into the world famous San Juan Islands. Our property is located on the scenic Chuckanut Drive. It is a 15 minute walk to Taylor United's Seafood Bar that has beer and wine. You will need boots just below the knee, or hiking shoes that will get wet. The Creek crossing is a little deeper this year. You will also be crossing a muddy area for about 20 yards, you will sink about 3 inches into the mud. The hike into the campsite takes 12 minutes. You need to contact me to check the tides, as to be able to get to the campsite. We need to hike in below a 5 foot tide. Starting October, the campsite closes for winter. Again , this campsite is Tide dependent. The first question to me should be, What is the latest we can hike in? I am not Moses, I can’t part the sea.

Chuckanut Hills Farm & Camp

7 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs, Tents20 acres ¡ Sedro Woolley, WA
Retreat to relax at Chuckanut Hills Farm and Campground, a 20-acre energy-regenerative, off-grid family farm nestled at the foot of Anderson Mountain and surrounded by thousands of acres of forest. 30 minutes south of Bellingham in the Chuckanut Mountains, the only finger of the Cascade Mountain Range that reaches all the way to the Salish Sea. These hills were the native home of the Saquantch people - a Salish coast tribe that fished and hunted the mountains surrounding Lake Whatcom. They lived in long lodge homes and were later pushed out by the invading Lummi Tribe. The Lummi Tribe was later pushed out by Western logging companies, and the entire mountainous region was logged aggressively for a number of years. Where our farm now rests was once the second of many logging camps built by Ed English; a railroad ran through the lower part of our property, taking logs from Lake Whatcom down to the boom town of Seattle. Our intention while being the current caretakers of this ancestral land is to restore native plants, raise heirloom produce and heritage animals, and provide a restful nature paradise for people looking to spend time in the outdoors.

June Bud Farms

4 sites ¡ RVs, Tents121 acres ¡ WA
June Bud Farms was established in 1960s.  Blending two single parents, each with 4 kids. While June & Bud raised 8 kids, they collected Registered Holsteins for their quaint dairy. As the Dairy grew to 110 acers home to 120 heifers', they soon had to add an additional milking parlor. From milking 4 cows to a staggering 12 at once, Bud made the paper for the cutting edge technology! As time marches on, the kids all grown, the little farm retired. Fast forward to 2020, its time to breath new life into this stout and sturdy barn. Cows are not in the current foreseeable future, but flowers are. We will carry on the name of Grandma June and Grandpa Bud. The play on the names is still quite fitting, and June Bud Farms continues to live on.

The best camping near Larrabee State Park guide

Overview

About

It’s no wonder Washington State chose this swath of land to be crowned its first state park. The park has a little bit of everything, from tidepools to mountainous hiking trails to one of the finest scenic drives in the region. Visitors can engage in any number of past times here: boating, fishing, shellfish harvesting, hiking, and mountain biking. Campsites include first-come, first-served sites, as well as group campsites and RV-ready pads.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Most campsites are available for reservation up to 9 months in advance, for stays between May 15 and September 15. Outside of this time, these sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. A few sites are always walk-up only.
  2. All campers are asked to check in at the registration booth when they get to the park.
  3. RV spaces include sewer, power, and water hookups.

When to go

Larrabee State Park and the adjacent Chuckanut Drive are extremely popular on most nice weather weekends, from spring through fall. Visitors will find crowded parking lots and busy campsites. If you plan to visit between May and September, be sure to book your campsite as far in advance as possible. The park is open year round, and outside of these times you’ll have less competition for camping and recreation here. 

Know before you go

  • The campground is near a very active train track, where trains run up to 16 times a day, and at night. If you’re a light sleeper, you may want to bring ear plugs.
  • If you plan to go fishing or harvest shellfish, you’ll want to secure a recreational license from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. 
  • The state park is located near Bellingham, where you can buy supplies before your trip.
