Great location & Incredible Staff
You cannot beat this location! Close to Seattle, feels secluded, but you can walk or take a short drive to restaurants, groceries, anything you could want or need. The staff is amazing and the park and facilities are kept clean. The laundry machines ($2 washer/$2 dryer) get the job done, with no need to keep feeding the machine. They can fill propane on site. Just an incredible place. They also have a small storage lot that can accommodate short storage. I camped, stored my camper while I went on a cruise, camped and then headed out for the remainder of an around the country journey. I will definitely stay here again and would highly recommend.

Point Hudson Marina & RV Park
A nearly perfect setting
This place is a gem. The online reservations and check-in processes were smooth and efficient. The spot itself was level, and everything seemed to work as expected. It was a fairly average RV park with spots practically right on top of each other. Where this place shines is in its location with beautiful views across the mouth of Puget Sound to Whidbey Island, the Cascades beyond, as well as Point Wilson Lighthouse nearby at Fort Worden. The property is at the edge of downtown Port Townsend with Water and Washington streets right there, and even uptown quite accessible as well.
I stayed here to beat the heat in my neck of the woods and for a healing change of scenery— it was amazing and I encourage anyone and everyone to respectfully visit this beautiful and healing place.

Great location and trails
Facilities were good and trails around are fun and easy enough for me and 2 kids. The beach and its tides are why we came.

Quick overnight with family
We went with family in two different vehicles and were able to secure two spots next to each other. Busy place, but the spots are partitioned off by natural trees and shrubs. Nice walking trails to the Strait of Juandefuca and Cranberry Lake. Very green and beautiful.

Nice beach park, camping so-so
Best things: Beautiful beach, great views of Mt. Rainier & Baker on a clear day, cruise ships going by, pirate ship playground for children.
Not-so-good things: Very tight camping sites, no privacy, plenty of noise in summer, especially if you're across from the playground, lots of cars going by, bathrooms are old and were not clean (and pretty stinky) for our visit in July, no dump station, only a few sites for larger RVs.
Verdict: We might go back for the great beach in warm, clear weather, but the campground itself s is too tight for our preferences. Larger RVs should be in the lower site numbers. Ours is mid-size and we barely fit in #26, though it was nicely shaded.

Very clean new park
I’d change my review when it’s fully completed. But park is not complete. Dog run not completed (no good place to take dogs as it’s covered in think gravel). Playground not started for kids. It’s a clean nice campground but there is not much for kids nor help for animals here yet. I’d stay here again if everything was completed

Great spot but busy
Nice spots, but most are right near the road so it's busy. Most spots are only good for an overnight. Unless you have one of the ones with space i wouldn't stay here for a long period of time. But it was beautiful and I had 4g on my Tmobile.
LindseyScoutDispersed South Shore Road
Marked road is closed
The road out there is full of potholes. When you get to the turn, the road is closed. This is because the road flooded and they have not been able to repair it due to funding issues. There are other places to camp. Did not find a payment box at the actual campground closest, which also does not currently have facilities.
