Group site fee is $75 or $100 per night per site.
There are two sites
Host is in the
campground at Douglas Fir from about Memorial Weekend to Labor Day Weekend. |
Excelsior
has two very large group campgrounds on the Nooksack River along the north side
of Mt. Baker and about 5 miles due south of the Canadian border. The wildlife is
plentiful. It is important to remember to keep food put away while sleeping or
out hiking so that you don't attract bears or other unwanted guests. There are
two sites. The first site, A is somewhat smaller and less appealing. This one is
priced at $75 per night. The second is site B which is larger and has more
solitude since one must pass through the first group site to get to the second.
The sites are large enough for 50 people in site A and 75 in site B. Site
A has six picnic tables with firepits and site B has 15 tables with almost as
many firepits. This is the largest group campground in the Mt. Baker -
Snoqualmie National Forest. If the whole campground were taken it would be ideal
for large scout gatherings or multi church youth gatherings. Gate keys are
available from the Douglas Fir Campground host.
The campground
is open from May 15 to Sept 29, 2008.
