Oostema Farmstead Campground

Camping in the Orchard of a real working farm. The owners are so wonderful and sweet, they let us pick vegetables out of their veggie patch. Fields and fields of raspberries as well if you get there in the right time of the year. Very small and clean. We absolutely love this place.

We are full-timers in a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow, were meeting friends in the area, as well as Mt. Baker. We were in site 6 for 4 days in early September. Most of the campsites are nice and grassy with trees, but fairly close together. Ours was gravel and apart from the others, but did not have a sewer hookup. The whole campground was very well maintained and cared for. They also have meat (Wagyu), veggies (in season), eggs and merchandise for sale as well. Terri enjoyed visiting with the animals and harvesting from their small garden. The owners, Lisa and Glen, were very friendly, accommodating and responsive. AT&T coverage good, ranging from 3-4 Bars of 5G with speeds up to 18 MB/s. Their WiFi was respectable with speeds up to 1 MB/s, but we did have to reconnect a couple of times when the service stopped working. We were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site. There were 12 OTA channels to be had with our fixed omni antenna.

This is a farmstead and smells like cows, but not overly so. That didn't bother me at all, but some people may be unaccustomed to it. I quite enjoyed watching the cows from my RV or picnic table. There is a reasonable amount of farm noise during the work day with the occasional tractor moving around, but evening and night time is blissfully quiet. Road noise at night is practically non-existent.

The facilities are adequate, with an outdoor shower and porta-potties. Plenty of water and electrical, and on-site laundry that is cheap and doesn't need quarters.

The sites are nice and level, with plenty of space. I recommend Site 1 and Site 6 for the most space and views, but none of the sites are bad. They have other accommodations, including tent camping, a tiny house, and an apartment. Therefore, this is an excellent place to get together with a bunch of friends and family with different comfort/budget needs.

My dog was in heaven and had the time of his life. They have a field where he could run free and chase rabbits to his heart's content while I ate cherries directly off the tree.

The nearby town of Lynden is charming and has everything you might need or want, including plenty of places to eat, get coffee, etc. The post office accepts General Delivery.

Finally, the camp hosts are awesome, helpful people.
