Within Keystone Harbor's protected waters, Fort Casey Campground sits directly adjacent to the Coupeville-Port Townsend ferry terminal, operated by the US Army Corps of Engineers year-round. The single-loop campground occupies an open, grassy area with gravel sites that provide clear views across Puget Sound toward both the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges.
Campers stay in full view of neighbors and passing ferry traffic, with boats arriving every 1.5 hours during low season. Jerry notes the location "naturally there isn't much privacy and you are constantly exposed to the elements." The proximity to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island means occasional military jet flyovers, though Judy T. observes "at least they don't break the sound barrier." Each site includes a fire pit and picnic table, with flush toilets and potable water available year-round, though individual site water gets shut off during winter months.
The historic fort complex sits within easy walking distance, featuring artillery batteries and tunnels to explore alongside a working lighthouse that offers tours on select days. Beach access requires navigating a steep but manageable slope down to the waterfront. A concrete loop around the campground provides a safe cycling path for children, while expansive grass fields accommodate games and dog exercise. The Fort Casey State Park Campground offers additional sites nearby.
Standard sites without hookups cost $20, while full hookup options are available at higher rates. Reservations are essential for weekends and summer months due to the campground's popularity and limited size. Winter visitors can access water from the pump spigot near restrooms when individual site taps are winterized. For those wanting more secluded camping, Rhododendron Campground provides a wooded alternative north of Coupeville.
