We hopped on the ferry this morning (with our truck, our Airstream, and our Hobie) and headed for Whidbey Island.
It was fairly effortless, actually. We showed up about 5 minutes before the ferry arrived (if that) and got right on it. Arrived at the Clinton ferry terminal and headed north toward Fort Casey State Park.
All spots are first come first served here, some with water and electric. We were hoping for one on the waterfront side, but they were all taken. Still, we have a nice view…it just has a few other RVs in it this way. :) Here's one of the Port Townsend/Coupeville ferries coming into the landing (view from the dinette):
This is not a great photo of the campground, really, but it's what I've got (Admiralty Bay/Puget Sound is straight ahead, and on the left):
We've got some work to do today, and we'll explore a bit later this evening.
Just an FYI if you want to mix it up a bit.. Lavender Wind Farm on Whidbey Island allows free boondocking if you sign up with harvesthosts.com . They can be interesting experiences.
Cyrus, thanks for the tip! That sounds right up our alley…checking into it now! -Laura
Alright Cyrus, I’ve signed up, and it looks amazing…all the cool places you can stay! Thanks so much for the tip. Don’t know if we’ll forfeit a sailing day to stay at the Lavender Farm, but we will DEFINITELY take advantage of this soon. Thanks again! -L
Sure no problem.. glad was of interest to you!
