This review is about the cabins. Stayed in cabin 3. You can make a reservation far in advance - i think 9 months. Our first time and pleasantly surprised. We wanted a deluxe cabin but those get reserved quickly. Our standard cabin was c3. 1 firm queen sized mattress bed and 2 twin beds in bunkbed formation. Bring your own bedding and pillows. In the cabin. There is a small table, 2 chairs and a bench. A small microwave and small fridge/freezer, bedside table with lamp. There is a heater. There are 2 accessible outlets. 1 near the fridge that makes the lighting go wonky if you plug anything into it. 1 outlet under the table. The windows have screens and blinds and curtains. Outside there is a porch swing for 2 facing away from the view. There is a picnic table, a BBQ and fire pit with standard half grill. You can buy firewood from ranger or camp host for $7 during our visit. You have 1 designated parking spot. There is a shared bathroom a short walk away with toilet paper and paper towels. There is a pay shower 50 cents for 3 minutes taking quarters only. I thought the bathrooms were kept up very well considering the rainy weather and the number of people using the facilities during our busy weekend. Our site faced the water. You have a view of the bay through the trees and can see the refinery. There is a side view of sunset but you have to go to the beach to see it better. It was rainy and cold during our memorial day weekend stay. We weren't super prepared because this was our first time to this site. We were still able to enjoy time around the fire with protective trees despite the rain. Our neighbors were quite noisy but it didn't bother us. The campsite is actually next to the road and you can hear the road traffic. The welcoming ranger was very nice. The ranger station and the camp host were not always readily available but that also didn't affect how we felt about our stay. We highly recommend this place.

Love this campground. Beautiful sunsets, so incredibly close to the beach and perfect for kids. We had one of the RV sites with electricity and water and it was perfect for us.

This place is incredible! The bathrooms are nice and clean, and the overall scenic vibe here is wonderful. Being so close to the water is really awesome 🌊!

If you are camping here then ensure you visit the beach twice because the water level changes a lot. Evening you will see it full like a high tide and in morning it will show up all the mud and weeds underneath it. Yet, the rocky beach looks beautiful. The oil refinery at the far end provides an interesting background to the sole wooden log on the beach for your Instagram pics. Campground is decent with lots of space and clean restrooms, rangers make multiple rounds. There were lots of bunnies and even tiny mices but we did not have any issue with our stay(tent, food..).

Does bayview park have any trails?

Arturo Perez | Aug 14, 2022
Toni Westgarth | Aug 15, 2022

There are a few. It is a very small park. If you are going to stay there I advise heading to the Padilla Bay Interperative Center and walking the trails there. Also, in Bayview there is a wonderful trail that covers about 5 miles of shoreline. It is flat and easy.

Cost per night non serviced site?

Mikepeggy Corning | Aug 14, 2022
Roxanne Tanner | Aug 15, 2022

That depends on a few factors. Disabled & Seniors get 1/2 off the space. So for a spot with electric & water & fits a 35 ft RV is $30. If you have a Discover/ Go Pass or not. So I stayed there last year in a RV in November & December. With my disabled parking placard, I paid $15 per night. In my opinion it's the best Park in Skagit County & Washington state. Let me know if you need any help or more info or advice. I'm a local guide on here & physically in Washington state.

Are the Shower facilities unisex showers, or do you have to access them from the separate women and mens Restrooms? I know some state parks have exterior doors to their Unisex showers. Thank you

Martin Maxwell | Aug 14, 2022
Rosemarie Young | Aug 15, 2022

That is a good question. When i had visited Bay View last spring, my recollection the showers were in the women's and men's restroom. But i would call or look on line to see if they have a separate area, where Unisex facilities are provided. Hope your able to find the answer and happy camping.

Is there a day use parking area?

Joanne MacKenzie | Aug 14, 2022
Rosemarie Young | Aug 15, 2022

The folks at Bayview were great on answering my Q's&A"s. Small campground. I visited the site this passed summer. I like the fact they cared about maintaining and the up keep. Only draw back was at the time children and teens were a little noisey. Other than this, this camp ground is good for Seniors, familes,. Folk that are cool about the space between each plot site. More info just call them. Have Fun!!! Out in the woods.

Can you set up tents in an RV site?

ron lee | Aug 14, 2022
Robert Belli | Aug 15, 2022

Well it depends on if you have an RV or not if you only have a tent then the answer would be no. If you have an RV and and let's say somebody in your group has a tent I'm sure you might be able to get away with setting one up otherwise you wouldn't want to pay for an RV site if you only have a 🎪, hope this helps have a good one

I've seen people do that, parking by the restrooms. You'd still have to check in with the ranger and probably pay a fee to park. If you're paying for a spot you don't need a discover pass.
