We camped a long 4th of July weekend at Manchester State Park near Port Orchard. The campground was big and every site was private, spacious and wooded. There was even room for 2 hammocks!
The park was at one time a harbor defense installation for the protection of Bremerton, then a fuel supply depot and a Navy fire fighting station. This structure was a torpedo warehouse built in 1901, now its a really cool picnic shelter.
There were lots of hiking and walking trails at the park. I think we checked out all of them!
The ferry went by frequently and was really cool to watch. The beach was pretty too but was stinky.
This was my favorite trail. It went along the water and ended with this cool staircase in the trees.
Sunday we found this really cool little beach. It was a hike to get to it, especially with all our gear, but it was worth it! The kids had a great time exploring and building on this sand wall.
We ventured to the beach the night of the 4th to watch fireworks. There was a big house on the corner that put on an amazing show. We ended the night with a campfire and s'mores. It was a super relaxing and fun weekend. A great way to spend the 4th!
