Welcome to Our Campground
We are a pet and family friendly Campground in beautiful Port Townsend, just a short walk from Fort Worden, the beach and a myriad of forested trails, with over 50 sites to choose from. The campground is operated by the County Fair Association, a small non-profit dedicated to engaging our community in local agriculture and arts. All proceeds from the campground go directly into maintaining the grounds and facilities to host events year-round, including the annual Jefferson County Fair.
Please reserve and pay for your site online here. We do not accept cash payments.
Cell service in this area is limited -- check availability and reserve your site before you arrive! Do not assume an empty site is available -- it may be reserved by another camper.
We have recently reconfigured the layout, creating more space between some sites and expanding others. We hope you enjoy your stay and thank you for supporting the County Fair and other community events here in Jefferson County!

Closures:
- County Fair - The Campground is closed to the public for about one week in August, prior to and during the Jefferson County Fair, which starts the second Friday of August.
- Winter Season - We close all but the full hook-up and walk-in site in the winter due to wet conditions that damage the grass and make driving o unsafe. This is typically December through March.
