Fort Casey State Park

Fort Casey is a beautiful campground right on the Sound with views that are incredible. Sites on the perimeter have nice spacing to them, and many have water and power. Watching the ferry come and go is fun, along with all of the hiking right next door. But unfortunately they have a camp host who is rude at best and never around. Tried to get hold of him 3 different times with no luck. Rumor has it that he spends his time up at the rangers office instead of assisting campers which is what that job asks of those who volunteer. Sure hope the parks department finds a new host as there were many who were complaining about him.

We had a great stay at Fort Casey in dry camping site 25. Lots of privacy and pretty level. Waterfront site with view of ferry right in front of us. Callan’s restaurant within walking distance had great food and delicious cookies! Don’t miss exploring the batteries and lighthouse above. Would be a good place to walk on ferry and explore Port Townsend for the day. Only issue, as noted by others, was jet noise from flyovers until 11 pm!

Stayed here on Memorial Day. Did not have the best spot but the views of Admiralty Inlet, Olympic and Cascade mountains with the back drop of old bunkers and a cool lighthouse is amazing. We saw Orca whales in inlet that swam right next to the bay near our campground that made this trip very special. There are only a few spots with hook ups but there is a water fill station near restroom/showers (which are really clean).. we were fortunate to have a goos solar system so was not a big deal. Camp host and staff of park were very nice.

Spend a night on a blue bird December day. Great views of the Coupeville ferry terminal and mountain ranges. We had a clear day and were able to see Mt. Rainier from the campsite. Saw some bald eagles and seals playing in the water. Picked up dinner at Callen’s which is next to the ferry terminal and an easy 5-10 minute walk. Food was awesome.

This is SUCH a beautiful park! However...we will never come back here. We had our Airstream on a water no hook up site, beautiful views of the water, mountains, several bald eagles, orcas, seals, it is a beautiful spot! The fort is a fun place to explore and the views are expansive. Watching the ferries come and go is always such a fun treat. We will NOT come back here, ever. The Navy ran flight drills right over head every.single.day. we were there. It was so loud it shook the Airstream every time they flew over, and they fly very low because they practice "touch and goes" (where they fly, land and then fly right back up to practice for landing on aircraft carries). Most drills were around 6 or 7 hours a day. There was a day or two in there where they started at 9 in the morning and at 9PM they were still doing drills. The sound was so incredibly loud and they fly so incredibly close. The first day, we really enjoyed the experience and thought it was really cool! However, by day 5 we ended our 7 day trip early because we couldn't handle the noise anymore. It ruined being outside enjoying nature, the sound is awful. My heart goes out to all the lovely people who live on Whidbey or retired there for the gorgeous natural sanctuary, that is disturbed by these drills. My husband is a veteran and my family members are veterans, we support our military but the location of these drills seem like a terrible idea.

Great location right in front of the sound. Found the sight of the ferry pulling in every so often fascinating and was a unique experience seeing it juxtaposed against RVs. The beach area is lovely with lots of driftwood and it was fun to be able to try salmon fishing from shore just 3 min walk from our RV and the fort has nice views and history. Middle sites are a bit cramped. The site host was very kind and checked up on us when we checked in late and in the dark missed our site few times. He even helped us back the trailer in (as we had some issues with the angle). Usage of Deception pass dump sight 20 min away was free. T-mobile reception wasn’t good. Looking forward to coming back again!

Wide open campground, with not trees. Our campsite, #28 gets the first shade. Thanks to the Senior WA Winter Camping Pass, a site with electricity is only $10 per night. The campsite is only a 10 minute walk to the ferry terminal for visiting Port Townsend. The gun battery installations are fascinating and so well preserved. Lots of history here. We spent 3 days over in Port Townsend seeing the sites there. I was very happy with the campground and even though it is wide open, we didn't feel privacy was an issue as there aren't alot of campers this time of year. Joan, the camp host is the best!
