Cascade Peaks Family Campground

Water access draws campers to Cascade Peaks Family Campground, though amenities come with trade-offs. The owner provides local guidance for Mount Rainier routes and allows flexible site selection during quieter periods. Low water pressure affects both hookup sites and facilities, while dusty roads and no internet service define the infrastructure. Some long-term residents occupy portions of the property but generally keep to themselves. The campground serves as one of the limited overnight options for places to camp around Packwood, making it a practical choice despite utility limitations.

Many campers appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and helpful staff, particularly for Mt. Rainier access. Recurring comments addressed poor road conditions and facility maintenance issues including problematic bathrooms and low water pressure.

Visit to Mt. Rainier

This place is really bad, but there are not many sites in the area. Dusty roads, no internet, low water pressure.

Peaceful...

Not sure why some reviews are so negative, as we found this park to be really peaceful. The owner was truly helpful telling us how best to get to see Mt Rainier and what routes. It was quiet so she said park anywhere you like. The water pressure was a bit low and yes there are residents that live here, but the residents keep to themselves. It was certainly the best option of park in town and we had a very peaceful night's sleep.

Really hard to rate this place...

stayed here in the middle of July. Plenty of spots open with a good store lots of bathrooms and showers places for kids to play and welcoming hosts. What bothered me was that a number of spots look like they’ve been set up as permanent housing. Instead of being a campsite, it looks like a small village from the movie WRONG TURN .. those areas felt just about as welcoming 👀

Single night stop

We came into this campground for a single night. It’s tucked away, 100+ sights. Easy pull in and set up for less than 30ft setups. Trash overflowing and bathrooms were glorified porta-potties. Enjoyed our seclusion, but some attention is needed by the staff. Polite and welcoming, but housekeeping is alittle low.

Aweful

The bathrooms (plural) were falling apart and out of commission for our four day stay. Worse the dump station was overflowing. There are far too many campsites for the area and I don’t know how they had them approved. The roads are either super muddy or super dusty. There isn’t any gravel.

Refuse to let me make reservations

I've always had a awesome time at cascade peak except for one lady who always tells me a lie about buying a spot or refuses to let me make reservations. I always pay for showers and laundry yr. Round and anyone else in the office sets me up with what ever I need and with smiles and awesome attitudes but not Corine.I want to know why. Never a good experience with her if I have done wrong I would love to make it right
