Tips for Snagging a Campsite Reservation
- 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.
- All campers are asked to check in at the registration booth when they get to the park.
- 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.
Larrabee State Park
Camp between the gorgeous Chuckanut Mountains and the Salish Sea at Washington’s first state park.
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.

Activities in the park
1 campground in Larrabee State Park
The breakdown: 51 standard tent sites, 26 utility sites, eight primitive sites, one dump station, and six showers (four ADA that are open all year). The bonus: the sites are spread out and open year round (plus 10 points). The biggest bummer: there are no campsites on the lake at Larrabee Campground. Read more...
