Fort Flagler Historical State Park 10541 Flagler Road, Nordland, WA 98358

Fort Flagler Historical State Park is a camping park surrounded on three sides by saltwater shoreline and offers historic forts, military history and much more.

Things to do at this park Offering unparalleled views of the Olympic and Cascade mountains and Puget Sound, historic Fort Flagler features many of the original military buildings used during the turn of the 20th century including gun batteries, noncommissioned officers' quarters and the hospital.

Camping The Lower Campground offers standard, partial and full-hookup sites that are level and spacious, with views of the waterway or forest. The Upper Campground has standard sites in a forested, more private setting. Both campgrounds have easy access to trails and restrooms with showers. Reservations are necessary April - Oct. as campsites are popular and fill quickly. Camper check-in can be done at the Welcome Station or through self-registration at the campground bulletin board.

Please note, there is a prickly native ground covering plant in grassy areas around the Lower Campground and shelter. For more information, please read the Sandmat Flyer in English or the Spanish version of the Sandmat Flyer.
