10 Perfect Washington State Campsites/Star Gazing at Artist Point

Theses article appears in print in the Seattle Magazine June 2018 issue, as part of the "85 Best Outdoor Adventures" cover story - these are the Whatcom County mentions. SITES FOR PRIVACY Mount Baker–Snoqualmie National Forest If you like the convenience of car camping but hate the crowds, blaze your own trail in a “cowboy” campsite in any of Washington’s abundant, publicly owned (that’s you and me) national forestlands. Just don’t go if you can’t change a tire or cook a backcountry meal for yourself. National Forest Road 3040 off State Route 542 in the Mount Baker–Snoqualmie National Forest offers some excellent out-of-the-way sites. Need To Know: A Northwest Forest Pass is required to park within the national forest. HIKE IN CAMPING Chains Lake Trail STAR GAZING Head up to Artist Point, located between Mount Baker and Mount Shuksan. Check out mentions in the print issue of Seattle Magazine, here.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
