Nice surrounding area but the navy jet noise while practicing their touch & go’s nearby is unbearable and often goes late into the night no matter the season or the weather. If that isn’t enough the campground is located next to an extremely busy and noisy ferry dock. The ferries are known to blast you out of bed early in the morning with their horns.
The sites are very close to one another with little to no privacy.
Fort Flagler or Fort Worden across the way are much nicer campgrounds also on the water.

  Thanks for the review. While not right for you I think the navy jets and ferry are kind of unique and fun. Thanks for sharing.

Fort Casey State Park Campground in Coupeville Washington offers 21 tent sites and 14 water electric RV campsites adjacent to a historic military and lighthouse point. Port Townsend – Coupeville Ferry is within waking distance and is the only real distraction to a quiet place to camp (the ferry sounds its loud horn upon entering or exiting the terminal).

A very scenic place to camp the park has paved roads with gravel/ dirt parking pads. Picnic tables and fire rings are available along with restrooms with running water. Walk directly on to the beach or hunt along trails looking for historical buildings and views. Reservations are recommended for this popular destination.

When accessing the campground guests will be travelling and navigating thru traffic waiting for the ferry. Use caution and pay attention to signage to avoid causing additional congestion (ferry traffic pulls to the right hand side of the road to wait for boarding – you can pass in the left lane and turn into the campground).

Fort Casey State Park, nestled on the scenic Whidbey Island in Washington State, is a captivating camping destination that seamlessly blends history, natural beauty, and outdoor recreation.

Campers can enjoy leisurely strolls along the beach, explore the rocky shoreline, or simply relax and soak in the stunning sunsets.
