I was here August 19 & 20, 2923. I chose it because every other place was full. I managed to fit into a dry site for a lower cost. I thought the hookup sites were quite high for parking in a field. Bathroom was neither clean nor dirty. I'd only go there again if I needed to be in the area and there was nothing else.

Came here to meet my old friend. He recommended this place . Only saw two RVs and few vans.
Tent spot is only $19. Close to city and state park. Good campsite overall

A group of friends and I stayed here first of August and there were tents of homeless in back along with immobile campers and people stealing power with extension cords. We were told then that they couldn’t evict because of covid by court order. Now (end of September) there are twice as many. Tent compounds on individual sites with scattered possessions all out in rain and weather. One site had wooden pallets to camp on. The front row has 30amp I think everything else with power is only 20 amp and very antiquated. This is a shit show to say the least. I wouldn’t plan on using the bath house if you’re worried about covid how can they even begin to keep these sanitary? Please don’t mistake this for lack of empathy, I just wish the city council could come up with a better solution for their homeless. I understand people need a safe place to stay but this isn’t the right solution! photos posted here are definitely from better times. You may get phone service and text but internet is mostly nonexistent

We had just come off the Ferry and needed a place for a few nights. Our parking place was level and we could reach 30 A and water, but to get them we had to park on the parking lot next to site 18 which was unoccupied. Almost all sites need LOTS of leveling side-to-side. The whole place is on a hillside. There were some FH sites, some water & elect, but with Covid spacing they were full. Seemed like mostly long term campers, many in tents and cars, etc along a fence line away from the utility sites. We didn't use the restroom/showers, but all the non-self contained (most of the campers there) used them a LOT. There didn't seem to be very much TLC given to the campground. There seemed to be a handful of travelers/vacationers and the rest would fall into the category another reviewer used, "Sketchy."

I have been staying here for the past couple of months while rotating in and out of the 14 day limit at Point Hudson. I have to say, it's really declining quickly. Colder weather seems to be bringing in a lot of people living in their cars, which would not otherwise be a problem were it not for their foul language and boom box music that blares from the trunks of their cars.
But the really troubling part is the shower house. I couldn't figure out how one campground could accumulate so many "hair cookies" in the showers, and empty soap and shampoo containers. After all, the campground is 75% empty at this time of the year. Most of what is left is big rigs with sewer hook-ups, so how are the showers getting so much abuse?
Then I started watching...most of the people that park here in cars are only here for a few hours, long enough to use the showers. The campground allows non-campers to shower here for a $2.00 fee. This appears to be what is raising the sketchy-factor, in my opinion. Don't come here expecting to feel good after a shower...

We stayed here on Labor Day weekend. The "campground" is an open field with shared utilitiy posts. Grassy/dirt sites extremely unlevel. It was my fault as we read the information at the self-check-in board we found sites 2-18 listed as having water, electric, and sewer. We chose #14 and went ahead to set up. It took a few tries to get level, but once level we sped through the set up, pop-out, etc. procedure, only to find out when I attempted to plug in to the electric, the only electric was a 110 outlet, which they failed to fully describe at the check-in info. Instead of loading up and relocating to one of the cheaper W/S sites, we ate the $5 per night difference and stayed at #14 (it's great to have 8 145W solar panels for boondocking when you need it). The sites are stacked like cord wood, with skinny lanes between rows to make maneuvering a 40' bus a bit of an exercise. There are only a few picnic tables scattered among the sites, ours had none. No amenities (fire pit, patio, playground, etc.), just a field with some hook-ups but still a good base camp for the area if you do not plan to spend other than sleep time at the campground. There is a bit of a primitive shower/bath house, but it was clean. The price is the only incentive for us to stay here again. It appears there are several rigs here that are long term residents. The fairgrounds is at the outskirts of town in a bit of a run down section of town.

No frills but close to Downtown Port Townsend. We didn’t use any facilities here except W/E. Internet fluctuates between 1 & 2 bars Verizon
