Camping near Port Townsend, Washington
Port Townsend sits at the northeast tip of the Quimper Peninsula, where Admiralty Inlet meets the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The town serves as a practical RV base for the northern Olympic Peninsula, with a Victorian downtown, a ferry link to Coupeville on Whidbey Island, and several campgrounds within a short drive. Most nearby camping is concentrated at former coastal-defense forts: Fort Flagler, Fort Worden, and Fort Casey once formed the Triangle of Fire guarding Puget Sound, and today they are Washington state parks.
RV travelers have a mix of options close in. Point Hudson Resort Marina and RV Park is a waterfront RV park at the north end of downtown, adjacent to the marina. Fort Worden - Upper Forest and Fort Worden - Beach share a large state park just north of downtown, with wooded and beachfront settings respectively. The Campground at Jefferson County Fairgrounds is inland from Fort Worden and offers a straightforward, year-round backup when the state parks fill.
For a quieter stay across the water, Fort Flagler State Park occupies the northern tip of Marrowstone Island, about a 20-minute drive south and back north via Highway 19 and Highway 116.
Things to do around Port Townsend
The three forts anchor most itineraries. At Fort Worden, families can walk the beach to Point Wilson Lighthouse, tour the park's museums, and explore concrete gun batteries on Artillery Hill. The park has over eight miles of trails for hiking and biking.
At Fort Flagler, kids can roam broad sandy beaches, poke through hollow batteries with a flashlight, and watch ferries pass Admiralty Inlet. Popular activities include the Fort Flagler Museum, hiking, boating, kite-flying, beach exploration, saltwater fishing, crabbing, and clam digging when shellfish seasons are open.
In town, Port Townsend's Victorian waterfront has bookstores, restaurants, and the Northwest Maritime Center. Kayak and paddleboard rentals launch from the Point Hudson basin, and the Port Townsend to Coupeville ferry across Admiralty Inlet opens up day trips to Whidbey Island and Fort Casey.

Peak camping season runs late spring through early fall, when rainfall drops and daytime highs settle in the mid-60s Fahrenheit. Both Fort Worden campgrounds take reservations for stays beginning April 1 through October 31. At Fort Flagler, reservations are required April through October, and the Lower Campground stays open year-round on a first-come, first-served basis in the off-season. Summer weekends and any date tied to the Wooden Boat Festival in early September book out months ahead.
Shoulder seasons trade crowds for weather risk. Spring can be windy and cool on exposed beaches, and fall brings returning rain. The Fort Worden Upper Forest loop closes seasonally from late fall through mid-March, and both parks convert to winter water sources after Thanksgiving.
The Campground at Jefferson County Fairgrounds closes all but the full hook-up and walk-in sites in winter due to wet conditions, typically December through March. The campground also closes to the public for about one week in August, before and during the Jefferson County Fair.

How to book a campsite
Washington state parks use a single reservation platform at washington.goingtocamp.com, with phone booking also available. Camping is available for reservation up to nine months in advance, and popular loops at Fort Worden and Fort Flagler often fill the day the window opens for summer weekends.
Point Hudson Resort Marina and RV Park is booked directly through the Port of Port Townsend, by phone or through its website. The Campground at Jefferson County Fairgrounds takes reservations through its own site; reservations are made and paid for online, and cash payments are not accepted.
A Washington State Parks Discover Pass is required to visit day-use areas at Fort Worden and Fort Flagler, and can be purchased online, at park entrance stations, or from automated machines in day-use areas.
What to expect on-site
Hookups vary by campground. Fort Worden Upper Forest sites have partial hookups with electric and water. Fort Worden Beach sites sit along the shoreline with full hookups and open views but limited privacy. At Fort Flagler, Upper Forest sites (1-47) are dry with no hookups, while the Lower Beach Campground has a mix of standard and full-hookup sites near the water.
Rig length matters. In the Fort Flagler upper campground, RVs are limited to about 25 feet. Fort Worden and the Fort Flagler lower loop can accommodate larger rigs up to 50 to 75 feet at select sites, but not every site is level or long enough for the biggest coaches. Confirm site dimensions before booking.
Cell service varies by carrier and location within the parks. Open fires are restricted, though propane fire pits are allowed. Cougars have been reported occasionally in both parks, so keep children and pets close.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Port Townsend, WA
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Port Townsend?
An RV rental in Port Townsend is one of the most affordable ways to experience the Olympic Peninsula. On RVezy, travel trailers typically start around $90 to $150 per night, campervans run about $125 to $200, and larger Class A or Class C motorhome rentals in Port Townsend land between $175 to $300 per night. Booking midweek or in the shoulder season (April, May, late September) is the easiest way to score a cheap RV rental in Port Townsend, since waterfront demand spikes around the Wooden Boat Festival each September. Pro tip: filter by Instant Book and Delivery on RVezy to find hosts who price competitively and can bring the RV directly to your campsite.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Port%20Townsend%2C%20WashingtonDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Port Townsend, WA?
A regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Port Townsend, WA. Washington State does not require a commercial driver's license (CDL) or any RV-specific endorsement for motorhomes or travel trailers used recreationally, even for the big Class A coaches. You'll just need to be 25 or older with a valid license, and RVezy handles ID verification securely through the platform during booking. Visiting from overseas? Pick up an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country's auto association before you fly in. Then you're free to cruise Highway 20 toward Port Townsend's Victorian waterfront with zero red tape.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection and roadside assistance is included with my Port Townsend RV rental?
Every RVezy booking in Port Townsend comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance built right in, so you can focus on chasing sunsets over Admiralty Inlet instead of worrying about the what-ifs. You choose your preferred protection level during checkout (not the host), so you can match coverage to your comfort and budget. Roadside assistance handles things like flat tires, lockouts, or battery jumps anywhere on the Olympic Peninsula, from Sequim to Hurricane Ridge. Pro tip: review the coverage tiers in the booking flow and pick the one that lets you sleep easiest at Fort Worden.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Port Townsend RV trip plans change?
Booking is genuinely low-risk on RVezy. We set a consistent cancellation policy across every Port Townsend RV rental (hosts don't set their own), and there's a money-back grace period right after you book so you can lock in your dates with confidence. Refund outcomes depend on how far in advance you cancel and on circumstances like Pacific Northwest windstorms or ferry shutdowns across Puget Sound. You can review the full details during checkout and in your RVezy account. Pro tip: book early to secure the best motorhomes for Wooden Boat Festival weekend, knowing you have flexibility built in if life happens.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Port Townsend?
Absolutely, and Port Townsend is one of the most dog-loving towns on the peninsula. Plenty of hosts offer pet-friendly RV rentals in Port Townsend; just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see them instantly. Once you've got your rig, North Beach and Chetzemoka Park both welcome leashed dogs, and Fort Worden State Park has miles of off-leash beach trails year-round. Many local restaurants like Sirens Pub patio also allow pups. Pro tip: pack a towel and rinse bucket since Salish Sea sand sticks to everything, and message your host in advance about any pet fee so check-in is smooth and stress-free.
parks.wa.gov/parks-and-trails/parks/fort-worden-historical-state-parkCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Port Townsend?
Yes, RV delivery in Port Townsend is one of the easiest ways to start your trip, especially if you're flying into Sea-Tac or arriving via the Coupeville-Port Townsend ferry without a tow vehicle. Many RVezy hosts will deliver your motorhome or travel trailer directly to Fort Worden, Fort Flagler, Point Hudson Marina & RV Park, or even a private driveway, then level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to see hosts who offer this service and view their delivery radius. Pro tip: delivery is gold for first-time renters because you skip the learning curve of backing into a tight state-park site.
parks.wa.gov/parks-and-trails/parks/fort-flagler-historical-state-parkHow far can I drive on a Port Townsend RV trip? What about mileage limits?
You've got plenty of room to roam. Most Port Townsend hosts include 100 to 150 free miles per night, and some list RV rentals with unlimited mileage (filter for it on RVezy). That's more than enough for the classic Olympic Peninsula loop: Hurricane Ridge is about 50 miles west, Hoh Rain Forest is roughly 140 miles, Lake Crescent sits 60 miles down US-101, and Seattle is about 55 miles plus a ferry ride. Even a round trip to Mount Rainier (about 175 miles each way) is doable. Pro tip: ask your host for their per-mile overage rate up front so you can plan a relaxed itinerary without watching the odometer.
nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/driving-distances-and-times.htmWhat are the best campgrounds near Port Townsend for RVs?
You're spoiled for choice. The best campgrounds near Port Townsend for RV camping include Fort Worden Historical State Park (beachfront sites with full hookups, walking distance to downtown), Fort Flagler State Park on Marrowstone Island (huge water views, 14 miles south), Point Hudson Marina & RV Park (46 full-hookup waterfront sites right in town), The Campground at Jefferson County Fairgrounds (80 sites, 2 miles from downtown), and Fort Townsend Historical State Park (wooded sites, great for tents and smaller rigs). Pro tip: state park sites require a Discover Pass ($10 daily or $35 annual), and you'll want to reserve months ahead for summer weekends through the Washington State Parks reservation system.
parks.wa.gov/parks-and-trails/parks/fort-worden-historical-state-parkWhen is the best time to visit Port Townsend in an RV?
The sweet spot for an RV road trip from Port Townsend is mid-June through late September, when daytime temperatures average 65 to 75°F, rainfall drops to under an inch a month in July and August, and ferries run their longest schedules. July is the driest, sunniest month (around 11 hours of daylight sunshine), making it perfect for kayaking and exploring Fort Worden. Shoulder seasons (May and late September) bring fewer crowds and cheaper rates, with highs still around 60°F. Winter RV camping in Port Townsend is genuinely lovely if you're prepared for rain and 40°F nights. Pro tip: aim for the second week of September to catch the Wooden Boat Festival and dry, golden weather.
weather.gov/sew/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay driving around Port Townsend?
You're going to do great. Port Townsend's roads are calm, the speed limits are low, and your RVezy host will give you a full walkthrough at pickup, covering everything from leveling and the propane system to dumping the tanks. First time renting an RV? Stick with a smaller Class C or campervan rental in Port Townsend (around 22 to 25 feet) and you'll handle ferry loading at the Coupeville-Port Townsend route and downtown's historic streets with zero stress. Highway 20 from the Hood Canal Bridge into town is wide, flat, and scenic. Pro tip: do a practice loop in the Jefferson County Fairgrounds lot before heading out, and message your host anytime during the trip with questions.
wsdot.wa.gov/travel/washington-state-ferries/routes/port-townsendcoupevilleWhat happens if I break down or have a problem during my trip?
You're never alone out there. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance, so if you get a flat on US-101 outside Quilcene, a dead battery at Lake Crescent, or a lockout at Fort Worden, one phone call gets help dispatched. Your host is also a direct message away through the RVezy app for quick questions like 'how do I reset the inverter?' And RVezy's customer support team is available before, during, and after your trip. Cell coverage is strong throughout Port Townsend and most of the Olympic Peninsula's eastern side. Pro tip: save the roadside number to your phone before pickup so it's ready when you need it.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I drive my RV rental across the border into Canada from Port Townsend?
Cross-border trips to Canada are possible from Port Townsend, but they require host approval and confirmation that the protection coverage extends across the border. Message the host directly from the RVezy listing before booking to confirm, since Victoria, BC is just a quick ferry hop away via Port Angeles (and a tempting addition to any Olympic Peninsula itinerary). Travel to Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals at any time. You'll need a passport or enhanced driver's license, and you should declare the rental at the border crossing. Pro tip: even if you stay stateside, a day trip from Port Townsend to the San Juan Islands via Anacortes (about 70 miles) delivers a similar 'I went somewhere foreign' feeling.
cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/know-before-you-goHow much should I budget for fuel on an RV road trip from Port Townsend?
Fuel is one of the easier things to budget around here. Washington gas prices around Port Townsend typically run $4.20 to $4.80 per gallon, with stations at Safeway and 76 on Sims Way being the most convenient. Smaller campervans average 18 to 22 MPG, Class C motorhomes get 8 to 12 MPG, and big Class A diesels run 7 to 10 MPG. A week-long loop covering 500 miles (Port Townsend, Hurricane Ridge, Hoh Rain Forest, Lake Quinault) in a Class C runs roughly $200 to $275 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up in Port Hadlock or Sequim where prices tend to be a few cents cheaper than in-town stations, and avoid topping off on the remote west side of the peninsula.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Port Townsend?
Earlier is better, especially for waterfront sites. Washington State Parks (Fort Worden, Fort Flagler, Fort Townsend) open reservations nine months in advance through the official Washington State Parks reservation site, and summer weekends from June through August routinely book up within hours of release. Point Hudson Marina & RV Park books directly through the Port of Port Townsend and fills 4 to 6 months ahead for July, August, and Wooden Boat Festival weekend in early September. Jefferson County Fairgrounds is a great backup with first-come and reservable sites. Pro tip: if you strike out on weekends, midweek availability is much easier, and many RVezy hosts can deliver to private RV parks like Cove RV Park where openings appear last-minute.
parks.wa.gov/reservationsWhat are the driving conditions like on the Olympic Peninsula?
Driving around Port Townsend is some of the most enjoyable RV cruising in Washington. Highway 20 into town and US-101 around the peninsula are well-maintained two-lane roads with generous shoulders and steady, moderate speeds (45 to 55 MPH). You'll encounter occasional fog along Discovery Bay in the morning, strong crosswinds at the Hood Canal Bridge, and a few steep, winding sections climbing to Hurricane Ridge (avoid that 17-mile road in icy conditions, and check for chain requirements in winter). Wildlife (deer especially) is common at dusk. Pro tip: download offline maps before heading west of Lake Crescent because cell service gets patchy in the rain forest corridor, and use WSDOT's real-time traffic tools to time ferry crossings.
wsdot.com/travel/real-time/mountain-passesWhat amenities will I find at campgrounds near Port Townsend?
Local campgrounds are well-equipped for comfortable RV camping. Port Townsend RV camping typically includes 30-amp or 50-amp electric, potable water hookups, sewer or nearby dump stations, hot showers, flush toilets, and picnic tables. Point Hudson Marina has full hookups plus laundry and DirecTV; Fort Worden offers full and partial hookups with beach access; Fort Flagler has electric and water with a centralized dump station. Free public dump stations are available at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, and potable water fill-ups are easy at most state parks. Cell coverage is generally strong in town and along the shoreline. Pro tip: beach fires and campfires are banned within Port Townsend city limits, so plan s'mores at Fort Flagler or Fort Worden's designated fire rings instead.
parks.wa.gov/parks-and-trails/parks/fort-flagler-historical-state-parkWhat features and amenities can I expect inside my Port Townsend RV rental?
You'll be impressed by how well-equipped modern RVs are. Most motorhome and travel trailer rentals in Port Townsend come with a full kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, sink), private bathroom with shower and toilet, queen or king beds, dinette seating, climate control with furnace and air conditioning, and seatbelted seats for travel. Many include a generator or solar package, TVs, Bluetooth stereos, outdoor awnings, and basic cookware. Wifi is hit-or-miss in the rural Olympic Peninsula, so plan to use a phone hotspot or enjoy the digital detox. Pro tip: check each RVezy listing's amenities tab carefully and message the host if you need specific items like a French press, paddleboard mount, or a portable propane fire pit for fire-ban-friendly campfires.
energy.gov/energysaver/recreational-vehiclesWhat add-ons can I get with my Port Townsend RV rental, and how does pickup work?
Hosts in Port Townsend offer excellent add-ons to make your trip easier. Common extras include bedding and linen packages, kitchen kits, bikes and kayaks, generators, propane refills, portable BBQs, and pet packages. Many hosts offer delivery and setup (priced per mile from their location) which is fantastic if you're arriving by ferry without a vehicle. Pickup typically happens at the host's home in or around Port Townsend, Port Hadlock, or Chimacum with a 30 to 60 minute orientation walkthrough. Mileage policies and pickup times are shown clearly on each RVezy listing. Pro tip: ask about a fully stocked option so you don't have to haul kitchen gear and bedding on the plane.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Port%20Townsend%2C%20WashingtonHow do payments and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payments on RVezy are simple and secure, all handled through the platform with credit or debit card so you never hand cash to a stranger. You'll pay a portion at booking and the balance before your trip starts. The security deposit is separate from the booking payment and is pre-authorized (held, not charged) on your card before pickup. The deposit amount is shown on every listing and is released after the host confirms the RV came back in good shape. Pro tip: take a quick video walk-around of the RV at pickup and dropoff so any pre-existing dings are documented, and you'll sail through the deposit release with zero friction after your Port Townsend adventure.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I do an RV trip from Port Townsend in winter, and how do I stay warm?
Yes, winter RV camping in Port Townsend is a hidden gem. Daytime highs sit around 44 to 48°F from December through February with nights dipping to the upper 30s, snow is rare in town, and you'll have many state-park campgrounds nearly to yourself (Fort Flagler and Fort Worden stay open year-round, with first-come sites after October 31). Most RVezy rentals here are equipped for the cool, damp Pacific Northwest winter with propane furnaces, insulated or heated holding tanks, and full shore-power capability so you can stay toasty at 30-amp sites. Pro tip: filter listings with 'four-season' or heated tanks, pack rain layers, and time your trip around a storm-watching weekend at Fort Flagler. It's pure magic.
