About

Fort Casey Historical State Park is a 467-acre marine camping park on Whidbey Island offering a unique blend of history, coastal beauty, and outdoor recreation. The campground features 35 sites positioned along Keystone Spit with panoramic views of Admiralty Inlet and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Twenty-one standard sites accommodate tent campers, while 14 utility sites provide water and electric hookups for RVs up to 40 feet. Four beachfront pull-through sites offer prime waterfront camping. The park preserves a coast artillery post built in the 1890s to defend Puget Sound, featuring two 10-inch and two 3-inch historic guns on display. The restored 1903 Admiralty Head Lighthouse operates as an interpretive center with a gift shop and tower access for visitors. The park's 10,810 feet of saltwater shoreline includes Keystone Spit, a two-mile stretch separating Admiralty Inlet from Crocket Lake. Recreation opportunities include beach exploration, scuba diving at the Keystone Underwater Dive Park, saltwater fishing, boating from the boat launch, and 1.8 miles of hiking trails connecting to the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail. The park provides restrooms, showers, drinking water, and picnic facilities. Campers should note that U.S. Navy jets from nearby Naval Air Station Whidbey Island may fly overhead during training missions.
