"The kids had a blast exploring the fort and the forest around the campsite. There's a big beach with a small general store/burger joint within walking distance."
"We stayed here as a base to go whale watching out of Port Townsend. We really liked the campground, but it's a bit excluded, out on the end of the island."
"The trade off is the endless opportunity for walking, hiking and learning the history of the area.
Charming Downtown Port Townsend is close by and a true National Historic resource! "
"Being close to the beach and trails was nice. So many places to explore around the old military fort. Also spent an afternoon in Port Townsend which is a fun little town. We will definitely be back."
$12 - $40 / night
"Close to water. Close to beach. Lots of hiking trails good for all ages. ADA friendly and pets allowed while on leashes."
"If you look at the map, you can pick some spots with privacy (tent and rv spots) Great trails in the area. For training, hiking, or just casual walking; you can do all of the above."
$32 - $50 / night
"I was on the edge of the campground with views of the water. Sequim Bay State Park is a fairly small park with lots of sites and recreational areas."
"The site adjacent to us looked like a homeless camp. Young couple with 2 forever barking dogs, obviously living there with amount of belongs strewn around."
$32 / night
"The sites for RVs out near the old parade grounds are pretty tightly packed."
"This nice little campground probably gets overlooked by people heading to Port Townsend or Marrowstone Island, but it’s well worth consideration."
"Most sites don’t have a sense of privacy (some are literally right next to each other with no clear delineation where one ends and the other begins), but there were a lot of “extra vehicle parking only"
"We didn't have a view where we were but I loved the wooded area and it was just a short walk to the bluff overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca."
$33 - $77 / night
"Port Townsend is one of our favorite locations, having come here by sailboat for decades and now with a travel trailer."
"This is the best way to spend time in our trailer, act like we're camping, while exploring Port Townsend one of the coolest towns in WA. Excellent weekend getaway."
$30 / night
"There are two sections to this small, tucked away campground on the edge of the Salish Sea, one in the forested area and another out on the beach spit."
"Nice stream of locals walking dogs and travelers on a pit stop."
$8 - $619 / night
"The location is a bit remote hence very quiet. I like that it's only about 10-12 minutes to Port Townsend, a bustling everything-you-could-possibly want hip town. Perfect for my tastes and needs."
"FHU sites are around $33 depending on in-season/off-season, but I don't know how we would have figured out which sites were available."
"There are a couple of sites with good views, but they are very close to each other. "
"Really nice area to walk the dog and very quiet at night."
TravelerWe camped here during mid week shoulder season taking our first time RV on a shakedown trip. The park is really nice. Lots of good, medium difficulty hikes, as well as interesting history (old military graveyard, anyone). The sites for RVs out near the old parade grounds are pretty tightly packed. There was no one else here, so it was not a problem for us, but I could imagine it packed with kids, riding bikes around the loop and playing in the fields (good news if you have kids!). The sites in the forest on the hill are much bigger and more secluded, but the road would be tight for any trailer over 20 or so feet. Ours is 25’ and I would not try it back there. Overall the visit was good. It is 5 minutes from Port Townsend with lots of shops, eats, arts and pubs.
GuideLoved camping here we had a big party. 23 total - including 9 kids. The kids had a blast exploring the fort and the forest around the campsite. There's a big beach with a small general store/burger joint within walking distance. Port Townsend is just a short drive way and there are other beaches and areas to explore.
The campsites are spacious and clean with easy access to water.
LegendI enjoyed this campground. The only negative is the lack of any privacy. To be fair, there is quite a bit of space between campsites, so it didn't feel too bad.
The trade off is the endless opportunity for walking, hiking and learning the history of the area.
Charming Downtown Port Townsend is close by and a true National Historic resource! A "must visit"!
Our campsite was clean and had some view of the water. we were next to the trash enclosure but it was not "offensive".
A beautiful area!
LegendThis nice little campground probably gets overlooked by people heading to Port Townsend or Marrowstone Island, but it’s well worth consideration. There are sites in the woods that are preferable to the more open sites near the day use area, which are very close together. The sites in the wooded loop offer better privacy, although heavy tree cover limits the sunlight if you have solar. Nice beach down the hill. Also not too far from the Port Townsend historic waterfront, which would be a nice bike ride but a long walk. Clean and well maintained. Would definitely go back for a night or two
ScoutReally neat military relics. Walk to the ferry to visit Port Townsend for the day. Camp in the deep woods. This place is awesome!
ScoutPort Townsend is one of our favorite locations, having come here by sailboat for decades and now with a travel trailer. Point Hudson marina and campground are right on the edge of downtown PT and have beautiful views and access for culling, kayaking, and paddle boarding. There is no tent camping. It is an easy walk or bike ride to coffee shops, beach, State Park, etc.
TravelerA fine, perhaps underappreciated park. We hiked and biked the trails and napped like slugs on the beach (a short steep walk). Agree that the tight row of sites near the lawn and entrance station were not very attractive, but in the woods above, sites were pleasant and nicely spaced. Definitely worth a night or two. Just 10 minutes from historic Port Townsend and the Whidbey Island ferry.
TravelerWe have stayed here 4 or 5 times in the past. This is the best way to spend time in our trailer, act like we're camping, while exploring Port Townsend one of the coolest towns in WA. Excellent weekend getaway. Restaurants, shops, marina, history, all within walking distance. Friendly staff, level sites.
TravelerThis campground has one loop and it is very open to your neighbors. The fort itself is an easy walk to go and explore the history of the area, plus it also has some fantastic views of the Puget Sound. The Port Townsend ferry is right there so you can enjoy watching the ferry come and go. It would also be a great day excursion to walk onto the ferry and spend the day walking around and exploring Port Townsend, it's about a 30 min ferry boat ride too.
I did a Speed Test here at this campground as well but i cannot find the screen capture of the report but with my T-mobile hotspot I was getting 5 bars and had speedy internet to be able to work from this site if necessary in the future.
