1 site · Tent, RV · Port Townsend, WA
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'.

This RV spot very private and quiet. The owners use the main mobile home only seasonally as a vacation home. Across the yard from the mobile home is the RV spot. It's long enough for a large RV (with slide-outs) as well as your car or truck. Comes with sewer, power, water. You are welcome to use the fenced-in yard and your pet is welcome too. Enjoy quiet evenings around the propane firepit and watch the sunset. Restaurants are about 1.5 miles north and the State Park is 1 mile south. Strong WiFi is included in the rent.
A property manager lives in the neighborhood and is available for any questions or concerns. Coin-op laundry room is a short stroll to the neighbor's property. The ideal renter will want to stay monthly, or for the whole winter season.

Great spot, you can’t beat the privacy with a calm stream access for the dogs and kids. Immaculately clean, starlink for those who use it, wood stove, pristine manicured covered area. Our second stay and hope for more.

This was such a lovely and well taken care of campground. The little gazebo that has been built there was wonderful and the property was beautiful, with a little walking trails and a nice river right next to the campsite. There is plenty of space for pets to roam around and the campsite feels nice and secluded. We would definitely go back!

Such a lovely view of the river right outside our trailer windows. As other reviewers have mentioned, I've never seen a cleaner portapotty. Made it very easy to extend your stay by extending your black tank storage capacity. Just as pictured. Quiet, peaceful, relaxing! Saw bald eagles, herons, gulls, and deer. 10 out of 10 would stay here again!

Awesome spot! Well thought out - lots of space between sites so it’s very private and tons of space to spread out. I also appreciate that we had our own bathroom for our site that was super clean. The river was beautiful and we enjoyed seeing deer and eagles. I would most definitely return

The best camping site we have been to by far. Rich has the most beautiful land and has thought of everything anyone may need for a leisurely camping experience. It was so clean and beautiful and private.
So many trails, several smaller streams connecting to or from the main river. There's a little bridge and so much more. He obviously is in love with the land and with sharing it. I mean the gravel was raked when we got there. He provides a staked down line for our dog to be able to roam securely. The water and electricity were great and the internet provided me with the ability to send and receive text and emails for work. The port a potty’s were clean and even smelled good. I could go on and on and we will definitely be back

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.

This was our second trip to Dick’s Last Resort (prior stay June 2024). We loved it just as much the second time. Plenty of space/privacy. The picnic shelter with electric hook up is great for us since we have a small pop up and do all our cooking outside. Access to potable water and the port-a-potty are also essential. The kids love playing and exploring around camp. We discovered a nice spot to pick blackberries by the river this time:) We also appreciate the proximity to Sequim and we did the Olympic Game Farm for fun this go-round. Thanks Richard!

This camping site is so clean from the grounds to the saniKan!! I was a little nervous about the saniKan but it was so clean!! Richard was accommodating and quick to respond. The natural springs and creek were such a delight and watching all the little fish while sitting on the bridge. The river and trails were fun to explore. I even took a nice crisp swim in the river. Close enough to run to town if need be and far enough to feel submerged in nature. After posting pics on Facebook all of our friends and family are wanting to know where this gem is at!! We will be back and I’m sure with friends and family!! Thank you so much for the wonderful memories!!

The best big rig friendly camping in Deception Pass guide
Notable campgrounds
- Best for sunset: Bowman Bay
- Best for paddlers: Ben Ure Island
- Best for groups: Cranberry Lake
Tips for snagging a campsite
- You can reserve all of the park’s 172 tent sites, 134 partial-hookup sites, and five hiker/biker sites online.
- Deception Pass is a popular state park. Reservations should be made in advance, especially for summer weekends. All campsites can be reserved online, up to nine months in advance of the arrival date.
- The Ben Ure Cabin on Ben Ure Island is accessible only by kayak or rowboat, and guests must bring their own water.
When to go
Deception Pass State Park is open year-round. In the Coastal Northwest’s relatively mild climate, there’s never a bad time to visit. Summers, especially on weekends and holidays, are very busy here. But come in the shoulder season—in the spring or early summer, before July 4—or early fall, after Memorial Day, and you’re more likely to find seclusion. Weekdays are generally a better bet, too.
Know before you go
- You can rent kayaks and stand-up paddleboards at the Bowman Bay concession stand from April through September.
- Visitors will need to display a day-use or annual Discover Pass. The park has automated pay stations dispensing both, along with boat launch permits.
- The park has 1.2 miles of ADA hiking trails, in addition to three miles of bike trails, six miles of horse trails, and 38 miles of hiking trails.
