Where is Cypress Head Campground and why should you camp there?

I stopped for a quick look around at Cypress Head.

There are quite a few campsites and trail access to all of Cypress Islands trail system.

With a cove on both sides of the head, you should be able to find some protection when anchored in one or the other.

The camping sites at Cypress Head have the best view I have ever seen, but exposure to wind goes with the view.

One side of the head has mooring balls, the other side nothing, but I would choose the side without a swell for an overnight visit.

 Cypress Head is on the east side of Cypress Island on Bellingham Channel.  It is a short kayak paddle from Guemes Channel or Washington Park in Anacortes

For those with an aversion to crossing Rosario Strait, Cypress Head, Pelican Beach and Saddlebag Island are your go-to choices.
