Discover the breathtaking scenery of the furthest reaches of Pacific Northwest Washington, just 15 minutes south of the Canadian border and north of Bellingham, Washington, USA. Squatch Glen is nestled at the base of Cloud Mountain, far enough from the city to disappear into nature and still close enough to all of Bellingham's main attractions. Whether you want to stay close to camp and enjoy time with your family or have Squatch glen as your base camp for exploration, we have something for everyone. Whatcom County is home to the original Ski to Sea multisport relay race. The aptly named event highlights just some of the activities available to the outdoor enthusiast open year-round and close by. Travel up the scenic Mt. Baker Byway for stunning views of our mountain range and the winding forks of the Nooksack River. Each season, you will uncover different activities to enjoy, such as fishing, snowboarding, skiing, backpacking, and hiking. Lakes and seas are within easy driving distance for kayaking or canoeing or exploring the local archipelago of the San Jan Islands by ferry from Anacortes, Washington. Squatch Glen is a newly created minimalist campground owned by a local registered nurse, Cheryl. Cheryl dreams of cultivating an affordable, small, private campground that you will want to return to year after year to experience the wonders of the PNW.
The spot was one of several on the property. It feels like a very small and quiet campground found at a state park, with plenty of space to stretch. We loved the trees which helped keep things cool during hot temps, and the many animals we could see and hear throughout our stay (owls, chickens, peacocks, goats). We’ll definitely be returning.
We thought the campsite and the area in general was great. We LOVED the showers, and everything was conveniently located. The host was super nice, and we appreciated the water at our campsite!
The one drawback to our stay in particular was a large group of very noisy people in the next site on the second night of our stay. They partied all night, not stopping until well after 3AM. The acoustics under the trees seemed to amplify the noise across all campsites. We got very little sleep, and would recommend establishing and enforcing quiet hours to ensure all guests get some peace at their campsite.
The site was well cared for and in a beautiful little forested area. There were a lot of nature sounds (owls, wolves, etc) which was fine with me but may worry some folks. The sites are shaded with lots of mature trees which was nice on a sunny day. Lots of room for two tents, some chairs and a kitchen set up and a propane fireplace which was provided by the hosts. It's close to lots of great places to explore.
Beautiful space! Camp sites are well maintained. Awesome for a group or a few friends with a couple vehicles who’d like to camp together. Lovely to have access to hot showers :) Easy drive to neighboring towns.
We loved our weekend stay at Cheryl's property. The campsite was well maintained and very peaceful. We arrived to find our spot already set up with a portable table and filled water dispenser and a propane fire pit ready to go (there was a burn ban in effect for open fires and it was a great option) Waking up to the smell of Cedars was a bonus that we didn't anticipate. It's located in an ideal spot for adventuring around the area. We were able to visit the Peace Arch in Blaine, spent time in Bellingham checking out the city and were within 30 minutes of Mt. Baker. Cheryl suggested going to Silver Lake on our last day, so we ventured up into the mountains and found this amazing gem nestled in a quiet valley. The only disappointment was that there were no Bigfoot sightings! This was our first trip to the northern region of the state, but it certainly won't be the last. I told Cheryl to expect us again in the near future!
It's beautiful and peaceful. The pottapotty seems well maintained. Cheryl provides an igloo cooler with drinking water.
