Elkamp Eastcreek

We spent 1 night at Elkamp and were sad to have to move on so quickly.  It would be a great base for exploring the south side of Mt. Rainier as it is within minutes of the Nisquilly entrance.  The majority of the campsites were amid tall trees.  Site G was more in the open with less shade; however it was situated next to a gentle creek.  Elkamp was very clean with the nicest campground bathrooms we have ever experienced.  The shower is coin-operated so bring quarters if you wish to use.  Would definitely stay at Elkamp again if we were to return to the area in the future.

Went here for a social event and had a blast. Big sites with lovely paths between, wonderful shop with firewood available at any hour (just square up when the place is actually open), clean plumbed bathrooms and a coin operated shower at $0.50/minute. There’s a beautiful meadow, a creek, huge trees. The owners are incredibly friendly and the place is very dog friendly.

Nicely maintained property, with spacious sites, great restroom facility, acres to gorgeous meadow and evening star viewing. Tom was gracious and welcoming host. Enjoyed our stay!

So beautiful, so well maintained. The meadow over the bridge is a hidden delight. Constant attention to the grounds regularly. Exquisite!

We've been there 6 years ago , very nice campground !

It is one of the most beautiful campgrounds I've experienced over many years! The sites are comfortably private and well thought out for tent, table, and fire ring placements. The bathrooms are actually very nice (dare I say upscale!) and clean. Same with the lovely shower for rent. There are stunning old growth tree stumps and an unbelievable ancient maple tree covered in thick moss that will make your jaw drop! A charming and inviting meadow complete with strategically placed Adirondack chairs for relaxation, chatting, or meditation. The campground is close to Minersl and Alder Lake- both of which we enjoyed with our SUP's. We also found one of many hiking trails in the area. The camp host, Tom, was incredibly helpful, charming, and full of helpful ideas on making the most of our time there. We already planning a return trip!

This is a family business and Tom & Brian are absolutely wonderful. We come several times a season. We have stayed in most of the tent spots in our sprinter. You can’t go wrong with any site. The meadow is a perfect spot to walk your dog (or kid), have an evening cocktail, or star gaze. The bathrooms are always clean and the gift shop is beautiful with many locally crafted items. We have visit in May, June, July and September.

We completely enjoyed our stay at Elkamp and have already made reservations to go back. Tom and Brian the owners are wonderful hosts. The sites are situated amongst beautiful tall trees, spacious and private. A beautiful creek runs through with a foot bridge with access to a beautiful meadow.

This is the best, most well kept campground we’ve ever been to. The owners are amazing, the property is stunning with trails, a beautiful gift shop that is beautifully decorated, and also has a great list of brands, including Pendleton. They close the front gate at night, so it’s very safe and private. We will be back, a lot! They also are ranked #7 as one of the best campgrounds in America. Do yourself a favor, come here and relax, enjoy and decompress. Thank you Elkcamp!

Wow, I would totally stay here again. The space was groomed very well, and I appreciated the no-contact arrival instructions, and the shower! I felt 100% safe as a solo female traveler.

The staff were very accommodating when we wanted to stay an extra night last minute because we liked it so much! Only an hour from Mt. Rainier NP and the town near by has some solid shops. The campsites are pretty private and there’s specific spots for your tent that has an extra layer of mulch underneath for cushioning. The bathrooms were always clean. There’s designated dish washing station (though there’s no spout right now) and potable water station. There’s a little creek you can walk to very close by they have nice chairs set up you can sit at. Loved this! The office has pretty limited hours but I think it’s family run and it’s small is I get it. The office is really cute if you do go inside though!

Will absolutely be coming back next time we’re visiting the area.

Great campsite, friendly hosts, clean bathrooms and showers, tons of outdoor space and trails to explore. I get why this place is a little expensive but I think it’s totally worth it.

Gorgeous, shady site with clean bathrooms. One pay shower for camp. And one mens and one women’s bathroom. Sites have generous spacing. Somewhat buggy (mostly mosquitoes). Very nice camp hosts/owners. Shower had some standing water.

This is a great place to stay, clean, creek access, tons of space for dogs to play in the field, nice little trail access from the field next to the campground. It has a great location, near small town and a short drive to Mt Rainier.

I couldn’t recommend this campground more. The owners are very friendly and helpful, it’s in a beautiful area (with a meadow to walk around/chill out in), the bathrooms are very clean and they have showers (coin operated, bring quarters, but only a dollar for 6 minutes), they have nice sinks for you to wash dishes in, good fire pits, service and wifi. And on top of all that, it’s only 20 minutes from the Mount Rainier entrance. We stayed for two nights and had a great time.

One of the best run and cleanest camp grounds around. Bathrooms and shower are cleaned every few hours. Sites for tents and travel trailer and 5th wheels. We have an annual stay with 18 of our friends and we have a blast. Mineral lake is close so on hot days you can go jump in the lake. The sites are under a canopy of trees so it never gets too hot. They have games you can use for free, card games to corm hole. The owner hosted are the best. They are like family.

Small campground very friendly host was rainy and cold but was a really nice place

Brian was great! This place was amazing very easy to get in and out of. Quite and relaxing with good views. They are very friendly and helpful.

I did not feel like driving all the way to Yakima, so I decided to do a random search of nearby camp sites and found this gem. It’s a great clean location with friendly staff. Don’t miss out on this one!

We stayed at site #10 it is a fantastic pull through site super close to the creek(if you want to be real close check out site #3). Super dog friendly and nice big sites.

Great spot. Clean campsite. Easy booking

Sites were along a creek. Not crammed in, clean facilities, helpful hosts

We loved our stay at Elkamp. We were only there for one night, but the whole campsite was so beautiful. Lots of big trees, and was truly amazing when waking up in the morning. All of the tent pitches were well maintained. Hosts were super friendly and gave us a courtesy call before we arrvied to make sure everything was okay and to give us instructions if we arrived late. Bathrooms were nice and clean, shower room was big. One downside was the shower cost $1 for 6 minutes, but it really wasn't a big deal. Good location for trips to Mount Rainier. Would highly recommend.

Great Owner's! Clean, spacious and peaceful. 😊

We loved our stay at Elkamp and highly recommend it. We stayed for 3 nights and used it as a base for trips to Rainier.

Campground is beautiful. Large mature trees offered much needed days during very warm August days. The fields had great walking paths for post-dinner strolls. The bathrooms and showers were great. Everyone was quiet by 9:30 and all neighbors seemed respectful.

It was very buggy in the area so do bring bug spray and some candles. There’s a fire ban so no campfires to keep them away at night.

Highly recommend!

This small, private campground located just SW of Mt Rainier NP is owned and managed by Brian and Tom, a very friendly and caring couple. The campground is immaculately maintained and they are gradually working on expanding a few more sites. It is only open late spring thru early fall, and quickly fills up. The rv sites have water and elec, but not sewer... but a dump is available if needed. The sites are well spaced and have fresh gravel, so no issues in case of rain. Cell/data service can be an issue... We have both tmo and att through a cellular router with external antennas and had just enough coverage to be online but couldn't stream well. We will definitely be returning to camp here, but with a cell booster.

Will be back many times to come!

We spent a weekend tent camping here and I can't wait to go back when it gets warmer and this time bring the Turtle.  The campground is meticulously maintained, facilities are super clean, there is a dishwashing station, and a super cute store.  The two guys who run the place are super friendly, drive around delivering ice and firewood, and are so welcoming.  There is a creek that is fun for kids to play in and a large field to go explore and walk around in.  Beautiful location and close to Mt. Rainier NP.
