    I spent 3 nights in site 82 from July 10 to 13, 2017. Very nice site. I was in a new small 5th wheel trailer and had some difficulty backing in due in part to inexperience but also a stump across the road which made the turning radius smaller. The campground is well maintained, the staff was very friendly and helpful and the bathrooms are clean. Very happy with the site and the park.

  2. Cara Kuller says:

    Will NEVER camp here again,,,The host of the campground was directly next to us and they let their dogs bark the ENTIRE time we were there..misery. How is this acceptable? Very inconsiderate.

  3. Judd Greenwood says:

    is your campground fully open in this covid time ??

    • Hi Judd,
      Birch Bay State Park campground is fully open (100% capacity). As of July 20 (lastest post on Washington State Park page) – restrooms/flush toilets, showers and the RV dump station are open.

  4. This is such a beautiful campground. We’ve been there 2x. Site 113 is NOT a good site unless you want to be right next to the restroom- the blower hand dryers are super loud. I advise campers to not camp next to noisy restrooms or group sites that can get very loud.
