Chelsea and her husband’s RV was absolutely perfect for our long weekend! It was cozy, clean, functional, and had everything we needed. They truly set us up for success, from chairs to everything we needed for cooking, and we felt completely safe, comfortable, and accommodated the entire time. Chelsea was also wonderful with communication and made the whole experience incredibly easy. We are so grateful for how thoughtfully they prepared everything for us. Five stars all around. We would absolutely recommend them and would happily stay again!

How to get to Fort Flagler Historical State Park
Fort Flagler is located approximately 2 hours northwest of Seattle via I-5 north to SR 104 west, crossing the Hood Canal Bridge, then SR 19 north to SR 116. From Port Townsend, the drive takes roughly 30 minutes south on SR 20 across Indian Island to Marrowstone Island. Route 116 becomes narrow and winding approaching the park. RVers should note that larger rigs may find the bridges onto Indian Island and Marrowstone Island challenging and should use turnouts to maintain traffic flow. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, about 2 hours south, is the nearest major airport for fly-and-rent options.
