The Manchester State Park just outside of Port Orchard, Washington makes for an ideal getaway for both Puget Sound campers and day-trippers alike on a trip to the state’s Kitsap Peninsula, particularly among maritime and military buffs. Manchester State Park is especially well known for its large brick structure, once a warehouse for torpedoes. During World War II, the fort here stocked an underwater minefield. Today, the grounds are now a state park that offers opportunities for camping, diving, swimming, hiking, and kayaking. The 128-acre campground features beautiful views, restroom and shower facilities, horseshoe pit, and a volleyball court.
