We recently visited our daughter's in-laws, who live a short drive from this campground. During our stay, we explored the area by sea kayaking in Port Townsend Bay and hiking to Tamanowas Rock. We also had a delicious meal at a local restaurant.
Our son-in-law was kind enough to provide transportation to and from these attractions, making our trip even more enjoyable. While the campground itself offered a prime location for visiting family, it was notably more cramped than other Washington State Park campgrounds. The RV sites were tightly packed, lacked hookups, and required careful maneuvering due to the narrow pull-through design. Had it not been for its proximity to our daughter's in-laws, we likely would have chosen a different campground.

Last minute find for one night. RV site #35, pull through, no hook ups, no firepit/has grill, no fires allowed at this time.
Site very tight for our trailer and very close to other sites, felt like RV park/parking lot.
Park in general is large, quiet, nice clean bathrooms, flush toilets, water spickets, trails,
(Upper campground looks really nice, large spaces but was full)
Verizon, TMobile and Starlink all worked well, no issues.
Dump $5
Would possibly stay again-as stop over only

The park has great walking trails, a botanical trail and a historical trail. We liked the location but the sites are tiny and close together. We stayed two nights, noisy neighbors one night but no neighbors the next.

This is a nice campground although there are actually two. The first is for larger sized rigs and appears to be a bit too crowded. We stayed at the second campground, up a hill and into the woods. The road to this campground is narrow and winding and the park limits the size of vehicles/trailers to 21 feet. Once there you are rewarded by nicely spaced and wooded campsites. The bathrooms and showers are well maintained and clean with showers needed a token to operate. For me two tokens for $1 was enough. Nice water views of Puget Sound and we were able to see Mt Baker and Mt Rainer. Cost is expensive at $50 for dry camping, or $37 for the site plus $5 nonresident fee and $8 web reservation fee.

We only stayed one night because it’s not a hook up site. But other then that it’s very nice and quite. And incredibly friendly staff.

We arrived a day early and were pleasantly surprised to find an available campsite - 25. It was nice, with plenty of space. The next day we moved to 24, our reserved site, which is even nicer with more space. The restrooms are clean. There are some nice hiking trails right from the campground. You can also walk down to the beach. The campsites are all fairly spacious and separated by plenty of greenery, so you barely notice your neighbors. There are no hookups, so it got quiet early in the evening. The only thing I didn't like were the mosquitoes, but a bit of bug spray seemed to do the trick.
There is a kiosk where you pay via envelope. There is supposed to be a ranger for a few hours a day there, but we were not around to verify. If you need to speak to a ranger, you can find them maintaining the grounds.

I can't really make any sense of the one other review for this campground so I'm leaving one of my own. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon to find only two other campsites taken. We chose site 24 as it was spacious. There are several large fields as well as shoreline access via a trail. Note that mosquitos were out in full force. I have a feeling this park serves as overflow for Ft Worden and probably gets very busy in summer. Completely deserted during our stay in mid-May and we'd definitely come back. $30 seemed a little steep for a site with no hookups. We paid via a paybox and never saw a ranger during our two days there. There was a sign posted indicating which campsites were available but the sign was over 5 days old.

Fort Townsend S.P., Jefferson Co., WA. Imagine it's a beautiful weekend in October, and you know this is your last possible chance of camping for the year. So you get some friends together, rent the group campground at Fort Townsend S.P., then wait for night to fall. You begin to tell ghost stories, just as sounds start to squeal from the old Torpedo Tower sitting just above your campfire... Then you sense movement, more shrieks (all pre-arranged with your immature guy friends), the ghost story gets more intense... then several pairs of wet camping clothes. God I love the outdoors.
