Point Hudson Marina & RV Park

We've stayed here numerous times on our own and for the festival, and it remains a fav. Cost was much higher this trip due to the festival, but my wife had to work it and it beat a motel room or daily 3 hour RT comute. Plus, we had one of the best spots in the park for beach front view and privacy. (we've been wishing for this site for years) A busy weeknd of course as this is an outstanding and well organized event each year.

A little tight through downtown main street, but overall easy access for even the largest rig. Plan those right turns wide and oversteer if you're towing. All spots are dirt / gravel and all but about 3 have FHU's. Sites are level, and while the weather was perfect all weekend this trip, we have been there for wind and rain events in the past. There is a risk of puddles in some sites and if the wind is blowing you may be rockin if you're out on the point. Mostly a winter time frame for high wind tho. There is little to no privacy at many of the spots on the point, but some there, and all on the back loop are large. Other than 3 sites, there is no shade and everything is wide open. Other's comments that its basicly a large dirt lot with FHU's is not unfair. There is some grass tho. Walking is level and town is steps away with resturants, shops and galleries.There are 3 resturants in the park, but like the nearby downtown biz, hours vary by season. Safeway, banks and other biz are all within 10 min drive. Many other spots to visit, hike or boat within a few minutes to a couple of hours, so day trips are easy and plentiful yearound. They did allow extended stay as I recall, but only on the back loop I think. Some of the rigs appeared aged, but it's always been peacful and respectful. No fires or tents allowed. Never had an issue with propane fire pits or grills tho. Pets allowed, on leash to protect wildlife. Signage explains it. This is not well enforced, but as long as your pet isn't harrasing the wildlife complaints seem unlikely. Clean pay showers and free restrooms. All with secure entry. Free,ok open WiFi. Signal was flaky at times, but hey, it's free. Other than during the festival it's always quiet here, and even then its quiet overnight. CBP and WFWS office's on-site if you need them for any reason. Park and marina are owned by the port and they have a website for rez. This will continue to be an often returned to spot for us.

This is why you travel in an RV. The lots here are within a few hundred feet of the Admiralty Inlet - the main transition waters between the Pacific Ocean and Puget Sound. You can hear the surf crashing at night, and the seagulls and ravens by day. The very first day I moved in here on a two-month extended stay, I watched a Navy submarine headed back toward the Pacific under escort. I have seen aircraft carriers, container ships, and every kind of sailing vessel imaginable. You can set your watch by the Port Townsend to Coupeville Ferry. You'll also get to hear practicing fighter jets from the nearby Whidbey Island Naval Air Station. Might be an acquired taste for some. Otherwise, it's a quiet and relaxing stay. If you're coming in on shoulder seasons, be prepared for Pacific Northwest weather. Not so much rain here in the Rain Shadow, but some serious winds and tides at times.
What do you get for your money? A pretty basic, unpaved, parking spot, 30 amp service with water and sewer. There is strong community-provided wifi. Good laundry facilities, though not cheap. (Better than anything you'll find in town, though.) These things, and the most incredible eastern sunrises over the Cascades imaginable, walking distance to the Victorian seaport town of Port Townsend, good food nearby, and a helpful staff at the marina office and friendly camp hosts.
I came in for a short extended stay (thus the small daily price tag) at the end of the winter off-season and worked part-time in town. I stayed in the RV row away from the beachfront sites. I truly wish I didn't have to leave.

I was lucky enough to book site 307 on the water. We arrived in the evening on a Friday and the spot looked super tight to get our 32 foot travel trailer in. After checking it out better, enough room but took some maneuvering. Most of this park is a parking lot style. Gravel, narrow. Noise level was low and other campers respectful of rules. Location is key here. Walking distance to town. Waterfront view is 10/10! Only reason I didn’t give 5 starts is sites are full of weeds. Maintenance needed.

Point Hudson is a beautiful spot with full RV hook up. Price is very reasonable. Some of the spots right against the water are particularly nice for views. Its location is close to town, within walking distance, which has its pluses. The management was friendly and helpful, and the laundry was clean and well maintained. The drawbacks are that it is basically camping in a parking lot and there’s a lot of coming and going to the restaurants that share the same parking area. Note not all the spaces are big enough to have your tow vehicle with your trailer. Also if pulling a long trailer with a long truck you may have some challenges getting into some of the spots, call the office for advice.

We made our reservations based on the reviews here on Campendium! They were totally accurate. We are on a 3 month PNW tour. Site 307 is right on the water with incredible views of the sound, the ferry, boats coming and going from the marina, and the snowcapped mountain chains of the Cascades and Olympics. During our 5 day stay (which was too short) we took the ferry to Whidbey to see Deception Pass. Highly recommend. We also enjoyed food from Doc's Grill and Hudson Point Cafe. Both Delish. We also did laundry. Clean facilities and were not out of line in cost. Venturing into town we enjoyed the In Between bar. Super fun cocktails. If you need anything RV wise Henery Hardware store was super helpful. I highly recommend this CG for its amenities, views, friendliness, and location. The sites are pretty close but level and easy to find. The wind does kick up, watch out for those gale warnings especially in site 307. Makes for a rocky night.

Happy Camping

We stayed here strictly based on the review "lng" posted that was featured in the best campground email we received a few weeks back. I saw the photo and read the review and immediately started checking for availability of the waterside spots. After trying for quite a few days I was able to book two nights at site 305 and we absolutely loved it. The view was amazing.
The town is great and has some great spots to eat but I can honestly say we fell in love with the view and will be back.

I originally booked 2 nights here so I could check out town. I ended up staying 5! This place is really wonderful! Sites are super tight, but the proximity to the water and town is totally worth it! It is a 2-3 minute walk to the main part of town with amazing restaurants and cool shops. My first day I saw a bald eagle, newborn baby seal, and lots of other animals. The boat traffic and lighthouse action is also really fun! It is a little pricy, but worth it! Bathrooms/Showers were really clean too!
