  Bueno

  Este State Park, a diferencia de la mayoría es una antigua instalación de las fuerzas armadas, transformada en state park. La geografía es muy linda, ya que es justo el ingreso al Sound y tiene unas lindas vistas a la montañas en la otra costa. Las instalaciones de los baños estan muy bien. A mi entender los camping sites estan demasiado expuestos unos a otros, sin división de plantas o desniveles o espacios. Por nuestra parte que buscabamos un poco de independencia o mas intimidad, era un poco incómodo y distinto al resto de los parques que recorrimos en Washington State. Los empleados estaban muy organizados. No fue de los mas económicos. Hay dos tipos de sites. Sobre la playa (un poco demasiado despejados en los días de viento) y en el bosque.

  5 Star Park, 2 Star Rental (maybe 2.5, I'll be nice)

  First, let me say that I stayed here for 7 days and I absolutely LOVED the grounds! I think I walked every path, trail, road, sidewalk and every thing paved and unpaved in between. Exploring the bunkers and the hidden treasures scattered throughout the woods was a dream. I love history and getting to freely explore everything on the park grounds first thing in the morning at dawn before others arrived was something that I miss right now after returning home. My dog loved it too and I should add that the park is SUPER dog friendly which I loved! The park itself gets a big thumbs from me. Really nice people walking early in the morning too...I think locals from the surrounding neighborhoods but very friendly. Now on to the not so nice part... I stayed in one of the duplexes on NCO Row (311S to be specific) and to say that when I drove up to it my first thought was "this must be the house I will be murdered in" is an understatement. There was nothing inviting or appealing about this house from the outside or any of the houses on this street to be honest. They have more of a foreboding feel to them than anything else. To say they look neglected on the outside is being nice and they all come with creepy black doors, paint peeling off all over and stairs on the outside of the house leading down to a door that I guess goes to the basement...was locked so who the hell knows what was down there...bodies maybe? creepy creep creepy Anyway I digress... walking inside, yes it smelled musty in the back area by the door but once I walked inside the kitchen, there was no real musty smell anywhere else. The house was clean, the furniture was also very clean, the beds were comfortable and the bedding and towels were surprisingly nice, and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cooking utensils etc and I saw no bugs or rodents in the house while I was there..yay! I was happy about those things. All furniture in the house that was made out of wood looked like it came from garbage picking in the neighborhood..it was that old, beat up and stained. But hey, it was clean and not dusty so...bonus The rest of the house inside was as basic as you get; cheap carpeting, cheap kitchen, barely anything on the walls, no books, no TV, no radio, no DVD player no nothing and, there must have been a sale on cream colored paint because everything in the house was the same cream color... the walls, the ceiling, the moldings, the railings, the old vents, and even the cool windows that old houses have above doors to the bedrooms were covered in cream paint and painted shut. basically anything that gives an old house its character had 50 coats of cream colored paint on it. WHY?? I have no idea. These are historic old homes that have so much charm but have been ruined by covering everything with cream paint. I did have Wifi. It was slow but good enough for me to work. Worked better downstairs than upstairs. I'd like to point out that I am not a high maintenance person and I had read plenty of reviews on this place prior to going there however the pictures on the site are a bit misleading and the condition of the houses on NCO row and in some other areas from the outside were just awful. I saw them renovating two houses in a different area while I was there and realize that renovating these is a big job and probably expensive too but I really feel that the state that some of them are currently in is straight up awful and as I stated earlier, there was nothing at all inviting about any of the homes on NCO row. I paid approx $200 a night and I think that is a fair price to rent a 2 bedroom duplex but I would never stay on NCO row again unless I was told they had gotten around to renovating them. Sadly, those are the only units that allow dogs so if I ever head back to Fort Worden I'll just stay elsewhere and enjoy visiting the park instead. I was never comfortable in the house. It was just too creepy for me to ever feel at ease there. I was honestly happy to leave the house when I did but still miss the park itself. When I texted people photos of the house I was staying in, they asked me if a horror movie had been filmed there. No joke. Its funny and sad at the same time. Sad because historic homes should be treated much better.

  Ft. Worden, 2-Night Stay in Corporals Duplex

  Easy travel from Seattle for a vacation to another world. A perfect time for a family, or friends in your bubble, in or out of the Covid pandemic. Almost contactless check in -- responsive and friendly--, immaculate housing with basic cookware & dishes (no serving dishes or mixing bowls), wifi so you don't miss having screen entertainment (no TV), comfortable & spacious rooms and miles of gorgeous trails, views and historic gun mounts & batterys (sp?). It's really something to breath in the history of this place. Very few people in range. Pt. Townsend is 5 minutes away and Port Ludlow is near with a .5 mile nature trail and water falls. Scenic biking, tennis courts, large grassy areas, very tame deer everywhere. If the heat doesn't work, try flipping the circuit breakers. I do think $30 a night for a dog is excessive after the first night, but, at least we could bring our old pooch. Our stay was an absolute pleasure and I wholeheartedly recommend as lengthy a stay as you can manage.

  Good but not great

  The house was very spacious and the check in process was easy and the check in person was wonderful. However, it was winter when we were there and the downstairs was freezing no matter how much I turned up the heat. So, we mostly stayed upstairs where the heat worked. The kitchen was large, but the appliances were really old so it was challenging to prepare a good meal.

  NCO house

  We had a good time but the house was disappointing. I have stayed there before and expected to stay in a place with a fireplace, there was not one in our house. Also the layout was awkward and not much in the way of serving bowls etc. BUT we did have a great time and plan to come again. The beds were comfortable and three bathrooms was nice. Next time we will upgrade to one of the remodeled officers houses. Thank you for giving us the opportunity for a great weekend.
