We plan to change the dates and location of our annual meetup. Previously we have met the end of Aug at Bayview.
Fort Worden State Park in the Upper Forest Loop is a very popular place so the dates will change to September 14-18 2026, that's Monday thru Friday.
Reservations can be made 9 months in advance beginning at 7:00 AM December 14, 2025.
It is a popular place so I strongly suggest making reservations that morning to have better chances of getting your spot.
Please take some time beforehand to look over the reservation site and have more perhaps a first and second choice of where you would like to camp.
This is the Upper Forrest Campground, there is also a Beach campground that is about ½ mile away but it fills very quickly.
Make reservations here: https://washington.goingtocamp.com
Also available nearby is the Jefferson County Fairgrounds that we are suggesting for overflow, it too is about ½ mile away and does have water, power and restrooms with showers. https://www.campspot.com/book/jefferson-county-fairgrounds .
As time draws closer I will again put reminders up here on the site.
Hope to see all of you at Fort Worden, September 14-18, 2026!
If you are unable to get a reservation, sign up for notification of cancellation on the WA state park website.
I have done this in the past and lit does work.
