Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

I visited both Fort Worden and Fort Flagler (over on Marrowstone Island) in the same day, doing Flagler first and then Worden. By the time I got to Worden, it was early afternoon and the entire place was pretty busy. Flagler had been the opposite! Fort Worden is definitely set up to maximize park usage, which certainly works to its advantage for upkeep and revenue, but for a history buff tourist like me, I prefer a little less crowd. My wife & I went to see the historic fortifications, the Puget Sound Coast Artillery museum, and the Point Wilson lighthouse. Unfortunately, the only fortifications you can get to by car are Battery Kinzie (which was very crowded, since it is right next to the RV campground, beach, and science centers) and Battery Vicars (which is small and not notable really). The hike to get from the parking area to the other, more secluded fortifications is just under a mile - not really something I was interested in doing after hiking around Fort Flagler for three hours that same morning. And finding that route was tough since there was no signage pointing vehicles to that side of the park. So, we skipped the outlying batteries, and only visited Kinzie and Vickers. Kinzie is really big and impressive, with a fantastically beautiful view of the surrounding cliffs, so despite there being folks shouting and carrying on inside, it was still worthwhile.
Point Wilson lighthouse was unfortunately closed for filming, but looked neat from a distance. There was a group of people fencing on the beach, I'd never seen THAT activity on the beach before! There ended up being two museums down near the parade ground that I thought looked interesting, the Coast Artillery museum I had planned for, and a tour of an Officer's Quarters - but both had short business hours, and I was unable to squeeze both into an afternoon. Each is managed separately and has its own cost.
The Coast Artillery museum was good, not as good as the Fort Flagler Historical Museum but broader in scope and with interesting artifacts from throughout US military history. The room with information on how Puget Sound, Seattle, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca was defended during WWII and the Cold War is the most interesting part. The museum is within an old barracks, so the space isn't conducive to a typical museum flow, the customer service desk is between the two galleries so you have to pass back and forth to see everything. There was a guided tour of the museum going on, but from what I heard, it wasn't worth spending the time on - the guide was basically just saying what was on the signs, and the tour was barely through the first room by the time I was done with both galleries - and it had already started when I arrived! There is a small entrance fee, and they have books for sale on a variety of interesting military history & local history topics.
Overall, the museum was the highlight, and worth the visit alone - but again, if choosing between Worden & Flagler, I'd recommend Flagler & its museum over this one. As with any other Washington State Park, you need to have a park pass - which you can buy on-site for $10 for the day, or $30 for the year (and it covers all Washington parks). Consult the Washington State Parks website for specific location, some parks have both machines that take credit cards and a visitors center option, some only have the machines.

We stayed at the commissioned officers quarters with 4 bedrooms. We loved living in quarters from 1900. The antiques for grandpa reminded him of his childhood. The interior was great. The exterior could use more maintenance.
The parade ground had lots of play area for the kids.
The beach was perfect sand.
The pub had great vibes and music.
Of course the Fort was amazing.
Will be coming back.

This "park" offers so much, what a gold mine! First, let me commend the staff. They are exceptional. We toured the military bunkers lead by Kelsey, a park ranger. Her knowledge was impressive, she knows her stuff and answered all the questions we threw at her and had photos to boot! We've been so inspired by her we're going to do the other area Fort tours as soon as we can. My degree is in history and a veteran and am fascinated by military history. I had no idea what to expect during the hour and a half but came away with all kinds of new insights and appreciation of what our US military does to protect us. Do this tour now. The meeting area is about a 10+ minute gentle walk up from the parking area. You will be doing some stairs but nothing difficult. We met in the late a.m. and the area toured is often underground so very comfortable. One thing that disturbed me was the graffiti, I don't understand why anyone does this anywhere. Otherwise, we couldn't have asked for a better way to spend our morning. The entire area is peaceful, beautiful, remember "Officer and a Gentleman"? Filmed here. U return often and enjoy all the park has to offer. Again, kudos to Kelsey, job well done, keep up the great work.

Although it was a brisk February day, we enjoyed the walk along the water and climbing on the former military fixtures. The old houses are delightful. We're not hikers, but were told that there a great hiking paths.

Officers quarters were wonderful. For the first time I didn't look forward to going home. Would love to have stayed longer.

Pay to enter with your car, but a nice walk on beaches and dunes (on paths). Seabird watching, beach walking and good for photographers.

Nice, nostalgic, and interesting. We stayed in the “Corporal’s” on NCO Drive. Great bicycling, friendly staff. Limited food. Quarters were clean and well equipped. Plenary to do. We’ll stay again!

Der alte Marinestützpunkt aus dem 2. Weltkrieg liegt direkt am Wasser und ist inzwischen ein Naherholungsgebiet mit Campungplatz und Ferienwohnung. Letztere sind die umgebauten ehemaligen Offiziersunterkünfte.
Die Wehranlagen sind altersentsprechend, aber auf jeden Fall sicher begehbar.
Wer den Film "Ein Offizier und Gentleman" mag und sich an die darin gezeigten Landschaften erinnert: Er ist hier auf dem Gelände gedreht worden.

We visited the lighthouse first. Its only $10 for entrance fees. Then you can hike along the beach, its absolutely beautiful, we saw a baby seal just chilling on the beach. Then you run into a meadow like field, you can hike above the beach with trees everywhere, very accessible, you run into old military shooting practice forts . Then you come back to lighthouse, they were holding a big concert so lots of people. Top thing to do in Port townsend

I have not camped there, but there were many large campers seen. Call the park and ask, I’m sure they’d be happy to help. Good luck!
Can you show up and explore the forts after the park has closed?

Only from the outside of the buildings. Each place on the Fort has offices of operation. But the entire park is open year round to driving through it and exploring the canons and bunkers that are open. Sorry answer was so late.

What is the cancellation policy if a group's situation changes and can't use the reservation for the Reunion building?

Sorry - I don't know their policy about cancellations because I live nearby. Contact them right away though, so someone else can take the spot. They are in high demand I hear.

We're having trouble getting through to set up an account for reservations. Any suggestions?
Is the facility open to just explore, I'm with a school group of 12 looking to snoop around a historical site.

Yes it's open. Everyone will need flashlights. It's pitch black in some places. The kids need to be responsible. No railings so if the horse play and someone gets pushed it could be bad.

I believe those things are included. These are like an Inn with shared bathrooms.

Great place to stay. Park rangers are very helpful. Check out the Port Townsend Marine Science Center while at the park.
