I really appreciate the Washington state park system and their nice campgrounds.
Being dragged along by a 140 lb dog did not leave us much time to visit the bunkers or enjoy the bluff water views that popped up as we walked
These are required at pretty much all county and state campgrounds in Washington State. They cost $30 per year.

I took my wife, six year old, one year old, and my dog and we all had a great time.
Dungeness gets the least amount of rainfall for western Washington, so don't be surprised if it's sunny.
The historical intrigue is unique and the majority of hikes are dog friendly — well done.

Like a number of Washington State Parks, the plug-in sites are in a large field, with very few trees around and kind of look like a lot of other
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.
ScoutReally neat military relics. Walk to the ferry to visit Port Townsend for the day. Camp in the deep woods. This place is awesome!
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
GuideWe 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. It takes a while to drive over to Port Townsend - and anywhere, really. That said, it's beautiful and we really liked it. We didn't get a chance to explore the trails or much of the base, but we'd love to go back sometime.
We stayed in the upper campground, in the trees. The views are nice on the beach, but we prefer a little more privacy. The showers require tokens and didn't work all the time.
TravelerGreat views. Plenty to do: walk-on ferry to port Townsend, beach comb, fly kites, explore the lighthouse/bunkers. It’s a very popular site, even year round. Be sure to reserve your site well in advance.
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.
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.
TravelerA quick ferry ride from Edmonds and less than an hour from Kingston. Very spacious campsites but zero privacy. 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.
TravelerThis part is in Port Townsend which is a beautiful town. The park is on the ocean which is great for walking in the sand , it does mean however that the wind can be vicious in early spring. We were glad we were in a our small RV rather than tent camping. There are beautiful big homes for rent for groups.
