Fort Flagler State Park in de Verenigde Staten

Since the reservation system does not allow same day reservations, we showed up hoping to grab one of the few available sights as first come, first served. There were 3 or 4 sites listed as available in the lower campground and we found one that was perfect for us. We had the choice between a full hook up site and a dry site and chose the latter as it was perfectly level and offered more privacy. It’s interesting to note the different pricing levels from ‘popular’ to basic. Some sites were tightly packed and others were absolutely enormous with great views. Our site, 105, had a very tight neighboring spot on just one side (a no show which gave us a much roomier feeling) and an ample area with picnic table, fire pit, and enough room for two tents behind the pad. A short trail, albeit somewhat overgrown, at the back of our site lead right to the beach. The campground, while quite full, was incredibly quiet. I’m sure things are different in the summer time with more families camping. The hosts and maintenance folks were all very friendly. Perhaps my favorite part of this campground is the location with miles of beach to walk. I was surprised that with our frequent strolls on the beach with the pups, we only passed a small number of people. The dump station worked as expected and had potable water available.

It is a great place to take the family. Nice balance of activities, facilities, and views. Still popular and well maintained as of June 2022. Note on T-Mobile cell service: I think the antenna may be at Port Townsend, so there is a great signal across the water when at the campground and the museum area. Some places of the island were dead zones.

Overall we enjoyed the campground, it was very clean, hook-ups worked great, and there was lots of exploring to do within walking distance of our site, from beach exploring to checking out all of the old batteries and history of Fort Flagler. The cons for us was the wind and most of the campsites were anything but private or secluded. Our site was very close to our neighbors, as were most of them at the lower area which is where the full hook up were. If you were going as a group or with multiple families this was perfect, but if you want privacy this wasn't it. There is also a junior ranger program for the kiddos, which I enjoyed working on with my 7-1/2 year old.

Eagles, beautiful trails to hike, fresh ocean breezes and a small camp store that sells ice cream! What more could you ask for?

Nice view, entrance was closed, need to look for empty space on the list, nice people supporting. I recommend this place.
