Only had time to do a quick drive through before we had to be somewhere else, but buildings, area and light house were pretty awesome. Would love to go back again and all around, go into museum, etc.

Step back into history to see these very authentic grounds. Some have been multi purposed for various entities, however the period architecture is well worth admiring. Continue on to the lighthouse to complete your visit or just enjoy a nice stroll through the grounds, perfect place to unwind.

Fort Worden State Park is a fantastic place that truly has it all. It’s a perfect spot for anyone whether you're a history buff, an outdoor enthusiast, or just looking for a great family outing with amazing wildlife. What really stands out is the history. You don't just read about the past here; you get to walk right through it. The old forts and battle stations are incredible to explore, giving you a real, hands-on feel for what life was like back then. It's a powerful and unforgettable experience to stand in those massive concrete structures and imagine the soldiers who once manned them. But the park isn't just about history. There's so much to do outside. You can rent a kayak to paddle the shoreline, go for a hike, or overnight camping. It’s also great place to ride a bike and explore the grounds. And at the end of the day, the sunsets are absolutely stunning the perfect way to wind down. Plus, the park is super clean, with well-kept bathrooms, and it's just a short distance from Port Townsend. It’s the kind of place you can visit again and again and always find something new to explore.

If you’re in Port Townsend and into history this is the place for you. There’s a trail that you can walk around. A light house that you can explore. A small aquarium and a museum store. You can camp on the grounds, lay on the beach. Although I’m not sure about going into the water. It is cold!

Our group rented the keepers house near the lighthouse before night. The scenery was stunning. It was a once in a lifetime event. The views from the 2 story keepers house were amazing, the views from the one story house (made of cinder blocks painted white) weren’t as great. Great place for a family reunion or any group event. Easy drive to Port Townsend and there is so much to see in that beautiful Victorian Port Town.

Such beautiful place to visit. Even though it was cold and really windy the views were beautiful. We lived walking on the beach, looking for shells, walking the trails and exploring all of the old batteries. We will definitely go back.

Cool place, dramatic and beautiful views. The Fort was also very cool. It is a big park so we didn’t get to see everything because we came later in the day so plan accordingly. Great place to bring the kids and learn some history of Washington state.

Second trip this spring. Weather is cooler with gale force winds, however... Our pull through spot is backed up to a hill with a little alcove where the table and fire pit are placed. We were able to stay outside until we were ready for bed because we were so protected from the elements. Perfect! This is going to be our spot for future visits.

Great place for a day trip. As a kid I would spend hours inside exploring. I tell everyone that will listen how great this place is. The campground needs work as its basically a parking lot and it can get crazy windy. So, if you don't have an RV. I would make this a day trip

I love coming here, any time a year. During colder times on early weekdays you usually have the beaches to yourself. One can spend all day or just a few hours there. Super clean bathrooms that are open year round. Can go on a long hike or a 10 minute walk. The views are to die for regardless.
