About Fort Worden State Park

Step back in time at Fort Worden State Park, where history meets the rugged beauty of the Port Townsend peninsula. This unique coastal destination weaves together sandy beaches, forest trails, and fascinating military relics—from century-old bunkers to stately officer quarters—creating an unforgettable backdrop for your camping adventure.
A park with an RV-focused campground (full hookups) plus on-site historic lodging rentals (duplexes, NCO buildings, Officer's Houses).
Historical SignificanceThe park contains preserved military-era fortifications and historic buildings (officer houses, NCO buildings, Corporal's Homes, bunkers) and operates museums and rentals in those structures, making history a central feature of the visitor experience.
Natural Features and SceneryImagine waking to the sound of waves lapping against miles of pristine sandy shoreline, then spending your day wandering wooded trails where deer quietly browse among towering trees. The park's dramatic peninsula setting offers endless exploration: discover hidden bunkers nestled in the hillsides, stroll past beautifully preserved Victorian-era housing, and watch the sun set over the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Every corner reveals a new vista where nature and history intertwine—whether you're beachcombing at low tide, hiking through fragrant forest paths, or simply soaking in the commanding views that once belonged to military sentries.
