CAMPING
Fort Casey State Park Fort Casey was built at the turn of the century as part of a "triangle of fire" designed to guard the entrance to Puget Sound in case of attack. (Fort Worden on the Olympic Peninsula and Fort Flagler on Marrowstone were the other two points of the triangle.) The Coast Artillery Corps troops were never engaged, and the site became part of a state park in the 1950s. While at Fort Casey visit the Admiralty Head Lighthouse, explore the gun batteries, take a walk on the beach or hike one of the upland trails. Reservations are not taken for campsites. Most of the sites are suited to trailers. Phone number: (360) 678-4519		Fort Ebey State Park Fort Ebey was built in 1942 as part of the United State's Pacific defense. In 1968, the army donated the site to the state, and it was opened as a state park in 1981 — one of many military properties in the Puget Sound area that have been converted to recreational use. While at Fort Ebey State Park, enjoy a walk to Lake Pondilla; visit the beach; hike along the bluff tops and enjoy views across the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Also explore the abandoned bunker and gun emplacement. Camping reservation number is 1-800-452-5687. Phone numbers: (360) 678-4636 or (360) 678-3195
