2nd visit

This is our second trip here. Lovely trees and lake. Half the sites don’t have sewer hookup but dump station is free. Easy ride up to paradise to Rainier National Park

Good times!

Big campground. Lots of loops and options, we had to hike to our site which isn’t bad. The overall campground isn’t woodsy. Also our site had a slope so the table and tent was on a tilt. Water nearby, bathrooms clean, trash picked up regularly, water was hot! Great lake for canoeing and Mt. Rainer is right there for a gorgeous view!

Campground from the 1990s

Very quiet at night. Trees throughout the campground. The bathroom was conveniently located and clean. Roads are a touch narrow in places. The 1-to-40 sites campground is laid out in a loop. The turn at the end is very tight for 35-foot motor home towing. Our site#10 dropped 13 inches between the rear and front axle. A few Lego blocks and jack pads addressed the problem. The campground is on a small hill. Few of the sites are level. Most have at least one slope of varying degrees. Double T Meats in Eatonville is worth a visit. We camped at Alder Lake Park in a Motorhome.
