Secluded river haven nestled on the west bank of the glacially fed North Fork of the Nooksack river, this peaceful property sits directly on the river bank surrounded by wildlife and nature. Big leaf maple trees provide shade throughout the day. Resident bald eagles, the occasional brown eagle, blue heron, trout, owls, beavers and all five species of native salmon are a few potential wildlife encounters. Various types of edible berries including salmonberries, thimbleberries, elderberries, mountain blackberries, huckleberries and of course blackberries. Every morning provides a symphony of song birds welcoming the rising sun with a good chance of sharing the river with bald eagles and blue herons. Beautiful sunrises overlooking the North Fork and pink alpenglow over slide mountain with the setting sun. 30 minutes from Bellingham bay, 30 minutes from Mount Baker ski area and extensive hiking trails and mountain lakes, 30 minutes from the Canadian border, 45 minutes from North Cascades National Park. The North Fork Brewery is a 2 minute drive north for great food and beer. Multiple grocery stores within 10 minutes. Activities include fishing, swimming, kayaking, rafting, photography, bird watching, sunbathing, earthing, yoga or just relaxing by the fire watching the river. Private parking and multiple campsites with direct access to North Fork of the Nooksack river. Amenities include: Clean (new) porta-potty, hand washing station, access to electricity and fresh water spigot / hose, high speed wireless internet. Available for rent are various sized tents, sleeping pads, sleeping bags, camp stove, propane, hammocks, etc. We respect and cherish privacy so you won't hear from us (unless you request someone to pick guitar or banjo around the campfire). Driveway exactly at mile marker 20 on the right if you're travelling north (river side) - see site photos for picture of driveway entrance. Shared driveway with neighbor - everything on the left hand side of the driveway as you enter is NOT our property (no trespassing). Please drive slowly, and use EXTREME caution when leaving - very limited line of sight around the corner and traffic is moving fast!

We had a great stay at Don & Siara’s place. Such a beautiful little spot along the river and so close to so many great outdoor activities. We were surprised with how many amenities are offered at the site. They had a portable cooking stove with propane & all the essential cooking tools. Having water from the hose was great! Pet friendly, very clean porta potty, plenty of dry firewood, cute string lights and tiki torches. This was our first time testing out our roof top tent with our Tesla and having the electric hookup was a huge plus as we planned to drive up to Mt. Baker the next morning and charging stations are scarce. We will definitely be planning a trip back - can’t wait to see what new additions are added in the future! Thanks again, guys!

We loved staying here. The host was very nice and came out to help show us around even though we got there late. They gave very detailed directions and were very responsive before and during our stay.

Great campsite
Great camping site. Loved the access to the river. They had a nice bathroom and “handwashing” set up - clean and easy to get to. We had two tents (a 4 and a 6 person) and two crossover SUV style vehicles and had plenty of room.

Great spot!
Great campsite! My friend and I fit both our one person tents easily. Access to a clean porta potty not too far from site complete with extra essentials from Don and Siara, and steps away from the river. Great starting point for many hikes about an hour away up Mount Baker hwy. Will definitely keep recommend and keep in mind for future bookings!
