My friend and I walked around to enjoy the flowers and take a walk to the beach. I was not fit for the trek down to the beach though, so my friend went and reported it's really beautiful. There were swallows flying at a crazy fast speed and zooming around us. Felt like Snow White. There are bathrooms here that are the standard expected for a park, but the one I was in didn't have a light at all so I'd avoid it after dark.

The historic military structures and preserved officer dwellings create a fun sense of stepping into the past. I did feel like that the park had a sense of weight to, in a super natural way if you catch my drift. I loved being able to sit on the beach and watch for wild life while feeling grounded. Highly recommend you visit this location in the Triangle of Fire.

When I originally wrote this my wife and I did not have an innerstanding regarding ADA laws and…read moreservice animals. Since than we have become educated so as to protect the laws set in motion by the ADA. There are 2 questions that can be asked regarding an animal that may be in question: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform? Staff are not allowed to request any documentation for the dog, require that the dog demonstrate its task, or inquire about the nature of the person's disability. [Source: https://www.ada.gov/resources/service-animals-faqs/) These questions were not addressed by the Park employee and the Park should have in place a plan on how to address an animal that isn't showing behavioral issues (ie: zero training, aggressive towards people/animals, etc.). There is a need for an awareness of the importance of being respectful to service animals. There is sadly many who claim their dogs as service animals when they're clearly not trained for any tasks and therefore should be labeled as ESA (Emotional Support Animal).

I've stayed here a few times. Its easy to get to and close enough to town if you need anything…read morewhile camping. We usually stop in Port Townsend either on the way in or out. Like all camping you have to make weekend reservations very far in advance, but I have had some success with setting an alert for the weekend I want to go. Prices do seem to be increasing making camping seem unaffordable to many. They do have free showers and a centrally located bathroom. Extra cars are 10$ a night, discover passes do not cover this. We usually go with friends and get 2 sites, they all seem very close to each other and don't offer a ton of privacy, but the closeness allows a little in our group to have fun circling the campground road on her bike/scooter. She also enjoys her time playing on the beach and in the woods. In the right season there are lots of berries to be found as well. We usually camp with dogs who also seem to enjoy the trip. There are lots of hiking trails that all intersect each other, it can be disorienting so you may want a map. I really enjoy the plant life here and always see interesting things I don't see other places. There is a new interpretive trail with some fun signage to make the walk even more enjoyable. If you are not camping this also just a nice stop off with your discover pass. Seems people get married here on a cliff above the water as well. It's nice to look out at the mountains and experience the beach at both high and low tide.

We booked 2 nights at campground, but haven't stayed even for a night. When day max temperature is…read more~60-65 and night is ~55 (normal temperature for Port Townsend area at summer), only way to get warm is through the wood camp fire.

I think I was a small child the last time I visited Fort Flagler, so I don't remember much. It was…read moregreat to come back and experience again as an adult. Campsites go quickly at this place, especially in the coveted Lower Campground, which is so close to the beach there are tsunami warning signs throughout. The sites are large here, and although tents are allowed, they are most coveted by the RV crowd as all sites have power, water, and sewer hookups. (We also drove through the more rustic Upper Campground, which sits high on the bluff and is more sheltered. There were plenty of tents here, but weren't RV friendly except for the smallest units.) We spent three nights total, spending most of our time at the park enjoying the beach, bike trails, and (of course) the many historic gun batteries that protected the Strait during WWI and WWII. It's also about a 35 minute drive from Port Townsend, home to cute shops and restaurants. Reservations are a must if you want to camp at Fort Flagler. You can make them exactly 9 months ahead and they do fill up quickly.

I haven't ever been to Marrowstone Island before until quite recently and it was a great trip! The…read moremain purpose was to go to Fort Flagler and look at the fort remains and take in the scenic views which there was plenty of! The state park is also a retreat and there is quite a set up for anyone signing up for that and I can see why as the whole area is so peaceful and tranquil. The fort itself is quite a bit smaller as far as seeing structures go compared to Fort Casey on Whidby Island but this state park and it's history has it's own personality and charm. In some ways I like Fort Flagler better as far as peace and quiet goes as Fort Casey can get very crazy with visitors. The walking paths are quite manageable to take in the different batteries or what makes up Battery Row but they are dirt paths so if you go in the winter or spring be prepared for mud. Our Discovery State Park Pass came in handy for this stop and felt like it was put to good use for visiting this particular state park!

I have said before I don't think all Washington state parks are always "created equal" meaning they…read morearen't always the destinations you think they are while others very much are worthy of a visit. I suppose it depends what your purpose is here as there is a boat ramp for you to use but as far as something being really unique I don't quite see it. There is some decent views here of the water which are nice however the pier that usually seems available to walk on was closed. It stated on a sign that it was closed due to an emergency of some sort so perhaps something structurally is wrong with it. Anyway Mystery Bay just ended up being a whistle stop for us and we continued our way back to Port Townsend after a great visit at Fort Flagler State Park.
