Jefferson County Fairground Campground

Grass underfoot and no shade in the main area, Jefferson County Fairground Campground functions as an open lot where vans, truck campers, and tent setups coexist without assigned infrastructure. The ground runs slightly uneven but manageable. Reservations require online booking with codes issued for bathroom and shower access, though at least one camper has arrived late without one and sorted things out the next morning. Rates run higher than the no-frills setup might suggest. Campers wanting more developed surroundings can look at Beach Campground — Fort Worden Historical State Park as a nearby alternative, or browse campsites near Port Townsend for a wider range of options.
