Accessible via the Wonderland Trail, Cataract Valley Backcountry Campsites requires a backcountry permit from the National Park Service and operates within Mount Rainier National Park's wilderness regulations. The sites function as designated stopping points for multi-day hikers completing sections of the 93-mile trail system. Campers must pack out all waste and follow Leave No Trace principles, as no facilities or water sources are provided at the camping areas. For those seeking developed amenities, Dick Creek Camp provides an alternative with established infrastructure nearby.
