Fall camping along the
Washington and Oregon Coast
For our fall trip we decided on a slow, leisurely, trip along the
Washington and Oregon coasts with an inland return
Our Route
And these are
the signs that
were very
common on our
trip south
Our first stop was Fort Townsend SP
on Puget Sound. The old fort is the
home of the oldest man planted
Douglas Firs which are now over 150
years old. Across an arm of the
sound USS Nimitz was either loading
or unloading ammo.
On the way to our first stop we went by this
pretty little town on on the Strait of Juan de Fuca
Ozette Lake campground is a part of Olympic NP and is a couple of miles from the
coast (in fact, almost all of the “coastal” campgrounds were some distance from
the ocean. The tree is a large and old Alder
On the way to our next stop we took a side
trip to Neah Bay which is on the western edge
of the strait of Juan de Fuca
Mora campground, also part of Olympic NP, was
out next stop. It is under some old growth trees
and on the Quillayute River
