Wow. We were late getting to our booked campsite at Deception Pass, so randomly showed up here. Three spots left, we snagged one. Then we went to the drive-in for some Top Gun in the forest!! Great space at the sites, kinda private-ish. No hot water the day we were there. But, maintenance was on it in the a.m. We had site 63. Power and water and a spot away from the bathrooms. There were a couple more we will try to book instead next time. Cause. We'll be back!! Fire rings and picnic tables, along with a concrete pad and some grass.

Great spot to spend a day exploring old military barracks, a lighthouse, walks along the shoreline and just enjoying the sound. There is a campground, the sites around the loop are more sheltered and quite. The lupine were in full bloom when I visited. A day pass is $10 and there is one machine where you can pay with a credit card.

Fort Worden is wonderful! Beautiful beach, hiking trails, bunkers to explore, even a lighthouse. Great family getaway. There are lots of things to do, such as the museum and marine science center, many others. The views are fantastic. A great place to get back to nature. The only problem I had is many buildings (like the aforementioned museum and marine science center) were closed because we went on a Wednesday. It's unfortunate much of the park is only open on weekends.

Definitely plan to visit again! Had an amazing time. My partner and I camped there this spring. Basically all the businesses on the property are only open during the summer but we still had more than enough to keep us busy with all the cool stuff to see in the park plus lots of fun things to do in Port Townsend. So I think springtime was a perfect first visit but we'll have to visit in the summer too!

Beautiful historical property! Love the houses here! Inside you have a sense of the history played out in in every corner of the buildings. Going for a walk there are deer walking around on the property as well. It was also so nice just to grab a book and sit on the front porch and read while enjoying the view. You just have to come see this gorgeous land to take in all it beauty.
