Ferry route from Coupville to Port Townsend, WA

[Nigels]

Hi guys, in about a weeks time we will leave BC and head south, we want to visit Olympic National Park and thought about using this ferry to get us to Port Angeles a starting point for our adventures there.

Are there any problems with this route? Any recomendations for places to stay will be graetly appreciated.

At present, there's only one boat on that run. There's supposed to be a second one towards the end of July. A reservation is strongly recommended and you can make it through the Ferry System's website, www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries.

We haven't been over to the peninsula for a while, so I'm a bit out of date on campgrounds. There's one just west of Port Townsend called Salt Creek County Park. A photograph of it is used as the header on the iRV2.com newsgroup. It looks across the Strait towards Victoria. I believe there's another nice one at Crescent Lake.

Thanks F & E I will check out those sites, so the ferry route looks the way to go, any one else with suggestions for campsites west of the park also?
