Great place to stay. Large campgrounds. We were right by the ocean. Easy access to beach. Lots to see and do.

Nice chill area to visit. The kids had fun running around on the structures out there. We liked chillin at the waterfront . Great for camping. The restrooms were nice and clean. We got to see a couple of 🦌 deers. Bring a flashlight if you plan on walking in the old buildings . We didn't go by the lighthouse this time. The beach campground trail was closed due to being washed out by the rain water. So we couldn't take the kids to see the structures up that way.

We were in the area and decided to stop here. It is absolutely gorgeous! The battery is similar to the one in Astoria, Fort Stevens. We would love to come back and camp here sometime. The historic buildings in the area were really cool too.

Wow. We were late getting to our booked campsite at Deception Pass, so randomly showed up here. Three spots left, we snagged one. Then we went to the drive-in for some Top Gun in the forest!! Great space at the sites, kinda private-ish. No hot water the day we were there. But, maintenance was on it in the a.m. We had site 63. Power and water and a spot away from the bathrooms. There were a couple more we will try to book instead next time. Cause. We'll be back!! Fire rings and picnic tables, along with a concrete pad and some grass.

Is it haunted by old military soldiers?

Danny Schopf | Aug 11, 2022
Sheila Brown | Aug 12, 2022

Yes it is! There have been many "encounters", and there was paranormal investigation. The Indians that lived there were forced off the land for the fort to be built. The soldiers fired on the Indians who relocated to the beach as a fun activity. Not a good time. Can't beleive the native americans are never mentioned in this information about the fort....

None of the camp grounds have WiFi in the park. You'll have to go to the coffee shop in the park for Internet access. It's called the Reveille Cafe.
