We really enjoyed our time at this campground as recommended by friends. Easy walking distance to the beach, lots of seashells with views of Port Townsend and Mt Baker. Cute little grill with ice cream, food and coffee among with many misc camping stuff for visitors. Visited historical military sights with easy to see information signage and enjoyed the little museum as well. Only thing we would change would be to come next year during crab and shellfish season that begins in July for this unit.

I like this place for camping. There is shoreline very close to your site. We had great opportunity to observe some otters playing on the beach and in the water. We were hiking along the shoreline and enjoying many different species from ocean.

We enjoyed camping at the lower camp area at Fort Flagler. It's right by the beach, biking/hiking trails and lots of forts to check out. There is a good mix of full hook up/motorhome spots and nice tucked aways spots for tents. We were in 105 and if you have 2 friends going with, it'd be way fun to book 105, 106, and 107 together. We had 3 different neighbors in 106 during our 2 night stay. Two super nice and quiet ones and then one who showed up at 7:30am to check in with his loud diesel truck to wake up the entire campground. It took him 10 minutes to back his short motorcycle trailer up. (I'm still tired from this dude waking me up). Then he fired up a somehow even louder motorcycle at 8am.

We camped at site 115, there is direct beach access and it gets pretty cold at night, I wouldn’t recommend camping here , good for RVs, there are full hookups with water , electricity and black water outlets, bathrooms have full showers with hot water too, sunset views are incredible! There’s a day use area and play area for kids as well, both the kayak and convenience store was closed

Great campground, full hook-ups, most sites are level or close to level. No trees or greenery for privacy between most campsites but they are spaced out better than a lot of state campgrounds. Lots of trails to the beach, a small store that sells burgers & ice cream, usually open between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The kayak rental place seems to keep the same peak summer schedule. Several trails up in the woods and along the bluff. Boat launch, small playground and picnic areas. Very busy in the summer.
