We arrived a day early and were pleasantly surprised to find an available campsite - 25. It was nice, with plenty of space. The next day we moved to 24, our reserved site, which is even nicer with more space. The restrooms are clean. There are some nice hiking trails right from the campground. You can also walk down to the beach. The campsites are all fairly spacious and separated by plenty of greenery, so you barely notice your neighbors. There are no hookups, so it got quiet early in the evening. The only thing I didn't like were the mosquitoes, but a bit of bug spray seemed to do the trick.
There is a kiosk where you pay via envelope. There is supposed to be a ranger for a few hours a day there, but we were not around to verify. If you need to speak to a ranger, you can find them maintaining the grounds.

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.

“Can only recommend the Group Site; otherwise, Fort Flagler is your campground.”

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.
