Step into U.S. military history at Fort Flagler Historical State Park on the northern tip of Marrowstone Island. Tour and explore a significant coastal defense fort established more than a century ago to guard the entrance to Puget Sound. Built in the late 1890s and manned during World War I, World War II and the Korean War, Fort Flagler now features a military museum and gift shop. The park offers guided tours of the gun emplacements and other facilities during the summer. Or find the batteries on your own and wander through them at leisure. Fort Flagler activities include hiking, boating, kite-flying, beach exploration, saltwater fishing, clam digging and crabbing. Experienced paragliders can bring their wings and ride thermals up to stupendous aerial views. Group camps Hoskins, Richmond and Wilson are available for retreats of up to 250 people, and historic officers' vacation houses can be booked for group gatherings and romantic getaways. Beachfront tent and RV sites boast some of the best views in the region. So gaze out on the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the north, the Olympic Peninsula to the west and Whidbey Island to the east, and breathe deep of the ocean air. The group of forts once known as the "Triangle of Fire" (made up of Fort Flagler, Fort Worden and Fort Casey) is a must-see for military, armament and maritime enthusiasts. Fort Flagler's off-the-beaten track location and its wide, manicured former parade lawns make it a winning destination. Fort Flagler Camping has 59 standard sites, 55 full-hookup sites, two primitive sites, one Cascadia Marine Trail (PDF) site, one dump station, two restrooms. Forty-seven standard tent sites and two primitive sites are in the upper camping area. This area is suitable for tents and some sites can accommodate RV's up to 25 feet. Twelve standard sites and 55 full-hookup sites are in the lower camp area and have easy access to the beach. Maximum site length is 50 feet (limited availability). Check-in time is 2:30 p.m. Check-out time is 1 p.m.
Campers may enjoy this scenic and historic fort at two delightful campgrounds with 80 campsites that may be reserved up to 9 months in advance. Both campgrounds have restrooms with showers. Maximum site length is 75-feet (limited availability).
Beach campground features 50 full-hookup (water, electric, and sewer) sites tucked between the bluffs and the beaches of Point Wilson. The sites are level, spacious, and open. Most sites have an amazing view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Upper campground features 30 partial-hookup sites with water, electricity, and a sewer dump station nearby. The campsites are mostly forested, some with privacy. They are fairly level, and quite long. This campground offers easy access to miles of trails.
Campsites are popular and fill quickly year-round. Reservations are highly recommended.
Campgrounds convert to winter water after Thanksgiving until before Presidents' Day Weekend (subject to weather). Insulated winter water sources are available in each campground during this time.
Dosewallips State Park, only 60 miles north of Olympia, is the eastern gateway to the Olympic Peninsula. The region is made up of forests, mountains, rivers, beaches and deltas – and surrounded by sound and sea. This freshwater/saltwater park makes a perfect day or weekend trip. It can also serve as a base from which to explore the historic forts and charming small towns to the north, or the first night on a grand road trip around the peninsula.
The park's moss-carpeted forest and glacial river slope down to a shell-strewn delta on Hood Canal, a delight for clam-diggers, anglers, boaters, birders and beach explorers. The park features riverside campsites, cabins and five-person platform tents.
Guests may share space with the local elk herds that wander through camp. (Stay back 100 feet, and never offer food.) Bald eagles have been seen on the beach and great blue herons flock to the river.
The evening may find you grilling up a shellfish dinner and retiring to your cabin or tent, where you'll fall asleep to the sound of the river, enchanted by this lush, green corner of the country.

Definitely a nice area to Visit for our first time. Quite and the ferry comes right past the camp ground. Ferry doesn’t blast its horn unless there is a boat in the ferry path. Definitely worth to check out and check out the fort. Showers and nice very clean park.
Scout
This is a beautiful campground with plenty of hiking opportunities and gorgeous views. It’s close to a highway so you can hear the road but not a ton of traffic through the campground. We stayed on the Quarry Pond side which seems a bit smaller and more private. Nice wide open campsites with a power hookup and clean water. Plenty of amenities nearby as well, the 76 gas station on the edge of the campground is full of supplies; food wise and gear wise. Doesn’t feel so isolated and in the middle of nowhere but still plenty out of the city.
TravelerBeautiful, excellently maintained campground with clean bathrooms and free showers. Setting is really beautiful and there are many things to see and do that are close by. Campsite was immaculate and large with a fire pit and picnic table.
Scout
We had a secluded site which is perfect for a dog. It’s quiet in the park and there’s no major highway close by. The staff is great!
Scout
We called early afternoon and asked if they had a space for that night for a fifth wheel with total rig length 53ft. Nice grass around all the campsites, 50 Amp electricity, water and sewer. Picnic table at every site. Lovely location but it can be noisy due to proximity to road and navy jets. Overall a great place I will stay again.
Traveler
Wether you have a beach view or not your spot will be amazing! The beach access alone is worth the higher cost. Bring quarters for hot showers.

I spent three nights (arrived Monday, departed Thursday) at this lovely campground about an hour from my house. The grounds are well-maintained with easy access to some hiking trails that are easy to moderate in difficulty. (If I were in better shape without 50+ years of knee problems, I'd rate all the trails as easy.)
The campsites are a short walk to the Dosewallips River, which is shallow and not very fast this time of year. It's a longer walk to the Hood Canal itself.
You're not going to have a private, quiet, pristine wilderness experience here. US 101 runs through the park next to the campground, and the logging trucks can be quite loud. There are lots of families -- meaning, kids running around and riding bikes -- and the campsites are close to one another without any privacy. But, highway traffic is pretty much nonexistent in the evening and night and the entire camp was pretty quiet by 9 pm every evening.
The camp is arranged in a bunch of loops. The first and last sites in each loop are preferable because of all the open space between the site and the road. The last site -- in my case, No. 20 -- is the best with an RV because the trailer will provide privacy from the adjacent campsite and there's a big space to other sites. (See the attached photo.)
T-Mobile was 2 bars of 4G LTE reception. I have a Pepwave cellular modem in my trailer and had virtually no problem streaming shows.
GuideThis was my 2nd time camping here! I love how safe and family friendly it is. I camped alone with my dog and I had zero issues. The trails are fun to explore, and the camping area is well maintained.
Traveler
The community feeling was incredible, kind people and a beautiful view. We visited a nearby lavender farm and that was a nice spot too. We will be staying here again!
Traveler
Campgrounds nearby were closed, so had to come here. Price for all sites was $72 after tax in 2024. Has electric and water, limited wifi in campground. Took site 31. Sites were close together but luckily no neighbors for us. Lake is nice, Lake Crescent is much better if you're looking for a pretty lake to swim. Big Sitka spruce nearby. 31 sites total. Some cabins and whatnot available. Expensive camp store exists.

I stayed at T9 via Airbnb in July 2024. Upon booking I sent a message ensuring that there is wifi due to working remotely,o as their listing states as an amenity, never heard back although saw it was read same day by“Justin”. The listing had this amenity listed so figured it was ok. The day of arrival I get a message saying wifi is not“guaranteed”. I expressed that if WiFi is not working I’d need to cancel as I’ve expressed upon booking I needed this for work, so it was important to me. The owners, Tim and Rachel, were extremely dismissive and condescending. Saying they will not refund for“one small amenity” and they“are not renting a wifi booth”. I expressed that this was important to me and it was in their listing. They were extremely difficult to deal with and caused A LOT of stress. Like other reviews stated, they take something wrong with their property and act like it’s the guests fault. I 100% agree that these are those kinds of people. The location is beautiful, although crowded with spots so close to each other but that’s in the pictures, so to be expected. Bathroom is a dirty pit toilet and had no toliet paper the first day, but known ahead of time it’s a porta potty. I would have considered booking again due to beach views but not with these owners. I’ve reported them to Airbnb, who confirmed they violated policy, offered me a partial refund, and sent them a message of their violation. I do not recommend unless there are new owners. They updated their listing with the WiFi issues, which clearly shows they know it’s a problem, but that was not there on my listing. Do not recommend unless new owners take over who care about their customers and take accountability.

We usually travel with a pop-up camper and tend to prefer USFS campgrounds or dispersed camping. But we are currently travelling in a rented 30' RV during a holiday week, so we decided to give this KOA a try.
I was pleasantly surprised! We stayed in site 130 for 2 nights, and it was quiet and peaceful, despite the proximity to hwy 101. We arrived late at night and had no problem getting checked in and finding our assigned spot. We opted for a site with electric and water hookups. It had a picnic table and a fire ring, but we didn't get a chance to use them because we were constantly on the go. Our site was $63.99/night.
They have Wifi, which was a nice feature that we weren't expecting. There is a picnic pavilion, horseshoes, tetherball, a swimming pool, a playground, a game room, and these really cool looking big wheel things that you can rent for $5/30 minutes. There is also a nice little general store that offers most things a camper could need. The folks who work there are very friendly and helpful. They offer free showers and a sink with hot water for washing dishes also. There is a large laundry room, but we didn't use it. We refilled on water and propane and we used their dump station before we left.
Overall, this KOA was clean and quiet and offered many amenities. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for "camping" with all the luxuries of home.
TravelerMy husband and I visited the Bowman Bay campground to celebrate our second wedding anniversary and it was one of the best camping trips we've had! This campground was lovely, a smaller campground right on the beach with great hiking trails to Lottie Point and Lighthouse Point. If you are going to camp at this campground, get campsite 279! It is by far the best one in this campground! It is not RV accessible however.
It's a large site that is a bit more elevated than the rest, with a wall of foliage behind it and no immediate neighbor campsites (the nearest on is on the other side of your parking spot, but your parking spot is beside your campsite and not near it.) It's a really lovely campsite.
TravelerThis is the ultimate family campground. Kids and families on bikes everywhere, amphitheater, trails, water, grass fields, the works. The spots along the road are subject to highway noise, it does die down at night, but starts early. (If you live on a busy street, you won’t notice!) There are quieter tent sites in the back, but also what looks like a group camp. Staff was super friendly. Probably need to reserve far in advance, we reserved 3 weeks out and got the last spot. Not everything was open though, still clean-up from winter going on. Online reservation system worked perfectly and was intuitive. Had a few bars of ATT. Did not investigate WiFi. Beautiful park!
GuideNo hot tub
GuideWe camped here for 3 days and spent plenty of time on Olympic National park, but we never stayed to far away to enjoy a beverage and some fresh fire cooked meals on the water!
Guide
A nice enough little spot near where we needed to be. Day trip to NE section of Olympic NP was doable. Day trip to Seattle would probably be doable as well. Nice area and small towns with good food and atmosphere. Park is small and sites are very close together. Modern sites are in the open right next to each other. Rustic sites are very shaded but still close together and gets load on weekends when it's full.
Facilities: Showers and bathrooms were nice, individual rooms for each bathroom and shower, most are code locked to prevent day use people hogging them
Cell Service: Good enough Verizon and T-mobile to work remotely
Starlink: While we didn't need to use it, the rustic (non-elec) sites are extremely shaded so no clear view for the dish; some modern sites would maybe work
Solar: Our site had a SW facing opening so we were able to grab some solar, but most other rustic sites are very shaded with very little to no sun; modern sites are open to the sky but solar is not needed there with an electric site
TravelerHelpful and welcoming family staff, variety of sites to accomodate your rig, funky hillside but fully comfortable facilities, very well maintained. What's not to love here? Great location for exploring the north Olympic or prep to catch the ferry to Vancouver Island. Oh, and do not miss pizza night if you are lucky enough to be there for one! Warmest review I've ever given, well deserved.
ScoutEvery interaction with the campground staff was amazing and super accommodating
The campground it's self is great with super clean bathroom and facilities
TravelerWent in the off season and had the whole campground to ourselves which was great but the cost seemed pretty high and that the charged extra for our two little dogs (that stayed inside 99% of the time) seemed excessive. Full hookups were nice but we have stayed in much nicer resorts for the same price. Not sure if we’ll be back

This is the very first park I took my motorhome to. After spending a year getting the rig ready, I was finally ready to take it on the road. I had joined Thousand Trails earlier in the year and set off to see what I knew. While I had previous RVs before (5th Wheel, Class C's, Travel trailers) this was my trip in a Class A.
My first visit to the Thousand Trails La Conner site was great. I was able to find a nice full hook up site at the edge of the park very close to the water.
A couple more visits to the park in the following months gave a less than great experience but still good.
Last week turned a corner. While the staff is still five star level, the park is showing a lot of wear and tear. I counted more than a dozen closed sites. Some of these sites had been closed for a long time. Potholes and ruts in the road made travel unpleasant but the pools of water (and mud) really stood out.
Granted, I was there in February but these issues were not just seasonal. Some of the same sites had been closed for the past few visits to the park.
I hope they start to pay attention to this park because its location is great.
GuideDeception Pass State Park is huge and beautiful, perfect for families and photographers. The campsites are open and surrounded by forests, with clean facilities, fire pits, and picnic tables. The staff is super friendly, and our son loved sitting in their golf cart. The hike to see Deception Pass Bridge is awesome. We visited in the fall, and the weather was cool but nice. It’s a great place to explore and take pictures. We had a lot of fun and recommend it to everyone!
Traveler
Beautiful state park with the lower campsite open year round, with full hook up sites. Offered on a first come first serve basis over the winter months. During the summer months reservations are required.
ScoutEasy to pay and very clean bathrooms. It was very windy and rainy the night I stayed. I slept in the back of my old 4Runner and it felt like I was on a boat at times from the rocking of the car in the wind
LegendThis park had a lovely view of water. Spaces were a little close as far as RVs are concerned. Clean bathrooms, level spots. Salt Creek Recreation area feet away (would prefer to camp there if you compare the grounds and RV spots)
Bathrooms clean, people friendly, spots level, had cell service. Convenient to Port Angeles.
ScoutWitnessed a beautiful sunset camping on the bluff . . . great camping spots.
Traveler
We stayed with several families at the group site with a mixture of trailers, tents, and tents on cars. The trailers ranged in size from 22’ to 36’ and we found ample space for each.
This site has close access to the bathrooms shared with those staying in the cabins. Peekaboo views of the water between the trees.
The site has several campsites that branch off of the road through the site which is also a trail. It has a central gravel area for a large group or trailers next to a large field area. There is no kitchen shelter, just picnic tables, fire pits, and a grill.
The site feels very private but you have people passing on the trail/road, which runs through the middle of camp, at regular intervals.
The park is full of steep hills which can make those with mobility challenges or kids wanting to ride bikes tough. The road to the beach is very steep.
Bring bug spray as mosquitoes were vicious as well as the yellow jackets.
