Campgrounds and RV parks near Point Roberts, WA

Point Roberts is a small U.S. pene-exclave on the tip of the Tsawwassen Peninsula, reached by road only through British Columbia. That means every RV trip here involves two international border crossings: one into Canada at the Peace Arch or Pacific Highway ports, and one back into the U.S. at the Point Roberts crossing. Renters should carry passports for every passenger and be prepared for standard customs questions about food, alcohol, firewood, and pets. Camping options inside Point Roberts itself are limited, so most RV renters base themselves at parks on either side of the border. On the U.S. side, Birch Bay State Park sits on the Whatcom County coast a short drive south near Blaine. On the Canadian side, Peace Arch RV Park in Surrey, Plaza Mobile and RV Park, and Burnaby Cariboo RV Park and Campground Vancouver put renters within reach of Vancouver and the BC Ferries terminal at Tsawwassen. For a longer trip, Prior Centennial in Gulf Islands National Park Reserve on North Pender Island adds an island-hopping leg via BC Ferries.

Birch Bay State Park reservations are handled through the Washington State Parks reservation system, with a booking window that opens up to nine months in advance of the arrival date. A Discover Pass is required for day-use parking, and a launch permit is required to use the park's boat ramp. Prior Centennial and other Gulf Islands National Park Reserve frontcountry sites are booked through the Parks Canada Reservation Service at reservation.pc.gc.ca or by phone at 1-877-737-3783. The annual reservation launch is announced each year and typically falls in late January. Private RV parks such as Peace Arch RV Park, Plaza Mobile and RV Park, and Burnaby Cariboo RV Park and Campground Vancouver take bookings directly by phone or through their own websites. Site-specific reservations are the norm, so renters should confirm rig length and hookup type at booking.
