Fort Townsend Historical State Park

Fort Townsend State Park is a lovely spot if you’re looking for quick access to the water. After a short walk down a scenic path, you’re rewarded with beautiful waterfront views. The campsites are fairly close together, and from what I could tell, they’re all back-in sites, so keep that in mind if you’re bringing an RV or trailer. One thing that stood out was how clean the restrooms were—clearly well-maintained, which made the stay more comfortable. Overall, a nice, peaceful place with easy shoreline access.

This was a great campground. The employees working the booth were extremely helpful. We had reserved a spot near the showers but we're unable to get the teardrop backed into the site. What the picture on the website when we reserved didn't show was a boulder and a tree that made it impossible to back the trailer into the site. The employees were able to find us a pull through spot down below near the field that was super easy to get set up in. I would say that the pull through spots are all a little close. We checked in late so we didn't have time to explore the trails or beach, and a return trip is a must. Very quiet and peaceful location. Well off the road where you heard no road noise at all. Where we were located there were a couple of vault toilets at one end and down the hill near the day use area there were men/women restrooms with flushing toilets and sinks.

This place isn't as big as ft worden or fort flagler. It has its charms though. Most of it is very thick kind spooky forest. There's a campground. Only open in the warm season. RV spots. So e very nice trails. One that goes down to a beach. Best when visited at low tide. The views at the beach are outstanding. There's a building for party's or any kind of gathering. What I like about it is it's haunted feel. The place is Erie. I don't know what it is about it but you feel like your being watched all the time. You hear strange noises and the forest gets so dark you can't see your hand in front of your face. Its old and as you walk the trails you can find signage that shows locations of buildings long gone. Whole the other parks have alot if the original infrastructure ft townsend seems to be strangely broken down. Oh yeah about a mile from the gate towards the highway there is a little pull off parking area. Has a short trail to a pet cemetery just to add to the creepiness of the area. Check it out it's a great little trip for more of the history of this whole area

We rolled in without a reservation on a Wed and found our choice of several spots. Super clean and nestled in the trees and near the bay. The restrooms were well stocked and the showers were available in the upper building. Easy to self check in and it was $32 for the night. No military/veteran discount for out of state residents. Near lots of walking trails.
