Full of rustic charm, Camp Saturna is located on 133 acres of lakefront property in the North Cascades foothills east of Bellingham, Washington. Our oasis in the forest is perfect for large groups including family reunions, corporate retreats, and church groups, etc. Property rental provides use of the entire camp which includes a main lodge with large dining hall and commercial kitchen, bunkhouse with an attached 2 bedroom Captain's Quarters that sleeps up to 46 in total in Main Camp, a climbing wall, archery range, shooting range, hiking trails, and water activities. Additional lodging capacity (~100) is provided in our three small cabins and four lakeside, forested camping areas during summer season.
