I am planning to go to the Kayak Symposium in Port Townsend this weekend. I want to register when I arrive. Does anyone know if there is any chance that all the accomodations will be full if I do not register in advance? Has anyone who has been to Fort Worden State park for the symposium discovered strong reasons to prefer the campground or the dormitory as a place to stay?

"Does anyone know if there is any chance that all the accomodations will be full if I do not register in advance?" I'd call TAPS at: (414) 242-5228 or Fax: (414) 242-4428 "Has anyone who has been to Fort Worden State park for the symposium discovered strong reasons to prefer the campground or the dormitory as a place to stay?" Campgrounds tend to be quieter but there are exceptions...

I can tell you that Fort Worden is FULL!! Most other campgrounds in the vicinity are also full, as are most of the inexpensive hotels and B&B's. I was thinking of staying on Whidby Island instead - there were still campsites and hotel rooms available there. Good luck!! *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
Catherine, If you call Fort Worden State Park they will say that they are full, but, the Symposium has taken over much of the campground and you must contact the Symposium organisers, TAPS, through their web site, or call 1 (360) 379-8202, if you want space at the campsite. I don't know if the Symposium part of the campground is also full. See also the message from Kirby Stevens about an alternative campsite.
