Fort Townsend State Park

I can't really make any sense of the one other review for this campground so I'm leaving one of my own. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon to find only two other campsites taken. We chose site 24 as it was spacious. There are several large fields as well as shoreline access via a trail. Note that mosquitos were out in full force. I have a feeling this park serves as overflow for Ft Worden and probably gets very busy in summer. Completely deserted during our stay in mid-May and we'd definitely come back. $30 seemed a little steep for a site with no hookups. We paid via a paybox and never saw a ranger during our two days there. There was a sign posted indicating which campsites were available but the sign was over 5 days old.

Fort Townsend S.P., Jefferson Co., WA. Imagine it's a beautiful weekend in October, and you know this is your last possible chance of camping for the year. So you get some friends together, rent the group campground at Fort Townsend S.P., then wait for night to fall. You begin to tell ghost stories, just as sounds start to squeal from the old Torpedo Tower sitting just above your campfire... Then you sense movement, more shrieks (all pre-arranged with your immature guy friends), the ghost story gets more intense... then several pairs of wet camping clothes. God I love the outdoors.
