Set up here and the whole northwest corner of Washington opens up. Here are the trips worth building a weekend around.
Quick answer
Camp at Birch Bay State Park, walk the bluff trails at Point Whitehorn Marine Reserve, and reach the San Juan Islands with ease. Birch Bay’s spot near I-5 and the border makes it a comfortable base, and a convenient place to store the rig between trips.
A launch pad for Northwest trips
Birch Bay sits close to I-5, the border, the ferries, and the islands, so it works as a comfortable home base. Whether you have a weekend or a week, the good stuff is a short drive away.
Where to go
Birch Bay State Park camping
The state park campground has spacious sites, beach access, and a boat ramp, with room for trailers and motorhomes. It is an easy, scenic place to settle in for a few nights.
Point Whitehorn and the shoreline
Point Whitehorn Marine Reserve offers an accessible trail through coastal forest to bluff viewpoints over the Strait of Georgia and the islands. It is a gentle, rewarding walk for all ages.
San Juan Islands getaways
For a longer outing, the San Juan Islands are within easy reach for camping, kayaking, and exploring. They turn a weekend into a memorable trip.
End the trip the easy way
Plan a loop that finishes with a quick rig drop-off close to home. Storing it here after the trip beats hauling it all the way back, and your rig stays ready for the next adventure.
Trip-planning quick hits
