0.6mi from Lynden · 1 siteThere is no restroom facility so campers MUST have an RV with a toilet. Sorry, no tents or car camping. Only one RV at a time is scheduled, unless guests are traveling together, so you’ll have plenty of privacy! (More than two people are welcome.) The huge graveled area makes turning around super easy, and there’s a pretty view to the west over a grassy field toward the sunset and a partial view of Mount Baker to the east. The barn is picturesque, though there are no animals on the property except for two indoor cats.
The RV site has water from the faucet outside of the barn via a 100-foot white drinking water hose. There is a new 30 amp RV style electrical hookup, and a 20 amp household style plug-in located on the side of the barn. Electricity is an additional $5 per night paid in advance. There is a 100 foot heavy duty extension cord available. Benson Road is narrow with a deep ditch, so it isn’t suitable for walking or biking, but traffic noise is minimal. The property sits directly across from the Lynden airport. While planes rarely take off or land here, it’s fun to watch when they glide in to land. On most days you might see three planes, with a few more on Sunday afternoons when people return home.
The property is a flat 1,500 feet long, making it great for walking. It’s also a wonderful spot for dogs to run and play, though since it’s within Lynden city limits, dogs must remain under immediate control or on a leash. Quiet time is strictly observed at 9 p.m. A campfire area is available in the farmyard, with a charged hose required to be on hand. The owner will try to provide firewood and newspaper for starting fires, but availability isn’t guaranteed.
Conveniently located, the property is only a 4-minute drive from charming, flower-filled (in season) downtown Lynden and the Northwest Washington Fairgrounds, 6 minutes from the main grocery shopping area, and about 5 minutes from the Canadian border crossing.
It’s a 30-minute drive south to Bellingham, 30 minutes west to Birch Bay and other waterfront destinations, 1 hour 15 minutes to Anacortes (gateway to the San Juan Islands), and 1 hour 20 minutes east to the Picture Lake Viewpoint on Mt. Baker.
