Green Acre Camp

47mi from Bellingham · 1 site · Tent, RV
1.5 acre plot located west of Port Townsend near Cape George and Discovery Trail. This forest meadow is a peaceful, private spot to rest and relax when you are not having adventures on the Olympic Peninsula. Perfect for RVs, Camper Trailers, Vans, and Tents!
The entire property is rented as a single camp site, so there is maximum privacy and solitude compared to a multi-site venue like Ft Worden State Park. Green Acre Camp is located in a semi-residential, semi-rural area of unincorporated Port Townsend, only 10-15 min drive to main restaurants, grocery stores, and attractions of downtown Port Townsend.
RV power pedestal with 30a, 50a, and standard 20a/120v plugs. Pack-in, Pack-out; there is no toilet, sink, or shower.
Large vehicles/trailers/5th wheels are welcome!
Enter the property on private dirt road connected to Hastings Ave and you may park anywhere in the upper field immediately on left when you enter the driveway. There is a locked shed that houses the well pump, and you can use the water spigot and hose. Water is potable lab tested.
Property is shaped like a triangle with Hastings Ave. There is tree cover along Hastings and shared driveway at bottom edge of the triangle. As you continue down the driveway a few hundred yards, you approach neighbor's fence and property line.
Main camp site is the “upper field” where there is room for parking and power/water connections. This is conveniently level with the main road and flat. There is “lower field” that is a trimmed grass field right corner next to the driveway, Finally the “back field” is large, grass field and a fire ring across the northern half of the property. The back field has an unused septic system underground, so we leave the grass and vegetation longer here to attract wildlife and preserve the infrastructure for potential future use. No vehicles allowed in back field.
In the middle of the property is a grove of pine and cedar trees with thick, native salal bushes and rhododendrons crisscrossed with paths created by humans and the local deer population.
Driveway is shared by neighboring property so wave and smile if our neighbors walk or drive out to the main road, and please be respectful of their property line and follow the local culture of 'live and let live'.

Nice place to stretch your legs and unwind! The dogs appreciated the extra wiggle room.
Only 8-10 mins into the heart of Port Townsend. As noted in the reviews before, the RV spit is right off the road and there is noise but we didn’t find it to be an issue.

Sometimes, simple is the BEST! Jody’s spot is a quiet and simple field with easy access off the 20 but not so close that you’d know it was a highway. No traffic heard at all - literally!
Getting level was easy enough and the nearby market was super handy! Best of all, the rails to trails access was literally across the street and reeallllyy great place to run/ride!
Would definitely use this spot again!

Campsite 3 felt secluded behind bushes and trees which was exactly what I wanted for my partner and I to enjoy our stay. With a campfire, picnic bench, and enough space for honestly 3 tents this was spacious and way more than what we needed. Running tap water onsite made it perfect for dishes and washing hands. Mike was polite, quick to respond and a humble host. Very great overall experience on his camp grounds.

Had a trip to North Cascades and enjoyed the convenient location to the NP and Winthrop. It’s pretty secluded even though it’s on the main road. Sites are towards the back, hidden within trees so it’s really peaceful. The river is across the street but I was too afraid to access it (spider season). So maybe other brave travelers can reach it in other months. Recommend this site if you’re looking for a place near the park or just a short get away from Seattle.

This was one of the best Hipcamp sites we've tried. Site 1 has plenty of privacy and space, and our toddler loved wandering around and exploring. It has everything you need (fire pit, picnic table, porta potty, and a raised sink for washing dishes). Great jumping off place to explore the North Cascades!

Stayed at campsite 4 which was very private and surrounded by big leaf maples! This site was 30 minutes ourltside where we were visiting in the NCNP so it was perfect. Right off the HW so there was some traffic noise but nothing too bad. I would definitely recommend this site to anyone visiting the park.
