Traveling to Port Hadlock by RV

Port Hadlock sits just off State Route 19, about 8 miles south of Port Townsend and 15 miles northeast of Quilcene. The main access route is SR-19, which handles RV traffic well with good sight lines and adequate shoulders. There's no interstate access here -- you'll come via US Highway 101 from either direction around the Olympic Peninsula. RVers heading to or from the Port Townsend ferry terminal will find this a natural stopping point. The roads through town can handle big rigs, though downtown Port Townsend has some tight turns and parking restrictions for larger RVs.

The nearest major services are in Port Townsend or back toward Highway 101. Winter driving conditions can include ice and snow, though the coastal location moderates temperatures compared to inland Peninsula areas.
