Would appreciate any comments/information anyone might have on this park.

X2. It's a nice easy run to P.A. and the boat to Victoria for a day trip. Another couple of places are Hurricane Ridge,the Elwha river dam removal project and Salt Creek. A whole lot more,but I'll let you have the fun of looking.

Gilgal RV Park is o.k.

We would never try to get our 40' MH in there. I'm surprised a MH club would even consider it. Wooded, narrow roads and only a few for bigger rigs. Certainly not a 43', in my opinion. Fort Worden would be a nice one for big rigs.

Sorry.... my mistake. Our reservations are at the Gilgal rv park in Sequim. I guess it is new and is more in town than the state park.

If I were going to do it again, I think I would go to Fort Flagler.

Psarking lot,I think you're thinking about another park. Fort Worden or point Hudson in Port Townsend perhaps.
Sequim Bay is in the woods with a whole bunch of non-hookup sites and a smaller loop of hookup sites that range in size from 40+ feet MHs to much smaller sites. Last time we camped there was in our 27' Wilderness TT.

Too tight for us!

Can't wait to explore Olymipic Nat Park and make the ferry trip over to Victoria.

I think that there are a couple of sites near the front of the hookup loop that are big enuff. Let me know when you are leaving so that I can come and watch. The bus I drove thru there is an 84 passenger,full 40' plus dropdown mirrors and I made it ok.

WE tried to get our 30 ft. fiver +truck in there a few years ago. Too tight for us. Ended up in John Wayne marina Resort - just a mile or so toward Sequim. Nice park but not fancy. When we had to give up the RV ( health reasons) we actually stayed 2 weeks in one of the cabins in the "Resort". And will go back! Lovely facility and fantastic view of the Bay!

That's a nice state park and is kinda in the middle of several places.Port Townsend is 20-30 miles to the east,there is a casino about 3 miles down the road and Sequim is about 10 miles to the west. With your rig,you'll have no problem finding a nice site. There is also a launch ramp there for Discovery Bay fishing if you have a boat. It's kind of tight for large trailers and MH's to go around the hookup section,but if I have figgered out that you have a truck camper,no prob. I have had several folks tell me that you can't take a large MH in there,soooo I did have to drive my 40' Thomas school bus thru it.No problem.
I might suggest that you might want to check out Fort Worden and Point Hudson in Port Townsend and there are several private rv parks in Sequim along with the Dungeness county park.On the east side of Port Angeles there are a couple and then on the west side several more. Also a couple of NPS cgs there. Have fun and with your camper you'll be able to find lots of places.
Hi Dave. Haven't heard from you folks for awhile. Next time we're camping at Port Townsend,we'll let you folks know.

I have not camped there as we live in Sequim, but We have driven through and looked at the amenities and it looks good.

Are you familiar with the Washington State park reservation system? Reservation link This site will let you reserve a spot and generally provides previews if the sites themselves.

Also out here there are some very good Clallam County Parks that are well worth a visit. We particularly like Salt Creek Recreation Area Campground that is on the bluff overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It is about 1 hour west of Sequim Bay.Salt Creek

I will send you a PM so you can call and ask any questions, and maybe meet for coffee as you pass through our area.
