Amazing views
Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
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. 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!

Tent site · Sleeps 8
Largest site with multiple tent sites, accommodating up to ten people. NO VEHICLE ACCESS (short 1 minute walk from parking). Firepit, tiki torches, electricity, Wi-Fi, and water (hose / spigot). Shared access to porta-potty and handwashing station. Less than 100' from another site (Sunshine Daydream) so if both sites are booked expect to be able to hear each other. Tents pictured are for reference only, not included. As with all sites on this property this is primitive camping - expect roots and sticks (trip hazard), stinging nettle and blackberry bushes, slippery and dangerous riverbank, etc.
