"Super quiet and felt tucked away, not too far from Paradise and Ashford. My neighbors felt close enough for me to feel safe, but far enough away for some privacy."
"Finding a great place to stay that is near Mt. Rainier National Park is always the best. Cougar Rock Campground is a perfect place to camp if you are wanting to do some hiking within the park."
$25 - $40 / night
"Rainier as it is within minutes of the Nisquilly entrance. The majority of the campsites were amid tall trees. "
"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."
$25 - $45 / night
"I chose to stayed here because of its location. It’s close to the entrance into Rainier NP and there’s plenty of Amazing hikes nearby. I camped alone (I’m a female) and I felt safe."
"Located a short distance from Mt Rainier NP, this is the perfect springboard for any NP adventure or chillax getaway."
$20 / night
"Great location, so close to the park entrance. An hour or so away from Paradise Inn and Sunrise Lodge. Hiked Silver Falls Trail which was right across from our campsite (E10)."
"Rainer is a must for anyone living in the PNW and this campground allows you to stay in the park but gives you access to plenty of trails, waterfalls and is just a short distance from entrance to the Wonderland"
"It's about an hours drive from Paradise, which makes it less ideal than Cougar Rock if that's your destination, but the reservations do not fill up nearly as quickly."
"Walking distance to the day use beach area. Very clean showers. Well maintained sites and fire wood for sale with the camp host. A great spot for exploring near Mt. Rainer."
$22 - $115 / night
"We loved that we were only 5 minutes from the entrance to Mount Rainier National Park, and about the same distance to Packwood WA for access to amenities if needed."
"I had a spot next to the river and there was a ton of rocky/sandy beach area that would be really nice in the summer since the river is slow moving. "
"We found an awesome walk in spot a little bit earlier on on the forest road before these actual coordinates."
"Got here around sunset. Looks like some good camping spots to walk into. Beautiful view of Rainier. There was a little bit of traffic but nothing crazy. Would stay here again."
$30 / night
"An ADA trail is level for walking the dog.
Shooting range is close by, doesn’t bother me but it’s pretty noisy."
"Super clean, friendly people, and very close to the entrance to the park. Definitely planning to come here again when I come up"
"My husband and I just spent a weekend at Mowiche Campground located in Ashford, Washington. We chose this campground because we wanted to be close hikes near Mt. Rainier."
"One reason we wanted to stay here was to be close to lots of beautiful hiking near Mt. Rainier. One of the days we went to Sunrise Visitor Center and did a few hikes within the park."
"Drove in with no expectations, but the view of the lake is beautiful. Only one other person in the whole camp at this time of the year so it was quiet."
"Small campground with around 25 spots. Highly recommend if going to mount Rainier"
GuideI’m not sure why it only lists the group site when there are regular sites as well. Lots of FCFS options, managed to snag a spot on a Sunday night which felt lucky. Beautiful area, nice bathrooms, tasty water, and has a beautiful hike across the road (Carter falls and beyond).
ScoutThis place is really bad, but there are not many sites in the area. Dusty roads, no internet, low water pressure.
GuideIt’s basically a pull off from the forest service road with a fire ring, but remote enough that you never see anyone. Going on day 3 and I’ve yet to see another car go by. The views in the pictures speak for themselves.
GuideFriendly staff, nice river walks and nice picnic spots. Children and dog play grounds.
LegendWe camped one night passing through here. Arrived just before dark and left in the morning. Very spacious sites in the forest. Not much light and forest kept camp smoke nearby (not to my liking). Bathrooms clean. Paid shower. Some sites near playground in full sun. Nice nature trail. Boat launch near day use area.
GuideDriving through the area and I stumbled across this gem with a clearing with a full view of Mount St Helens. Big wide area with a fire ring. Not much else. So secluded you’re likely never to come across a soul.
GuideIt is a good place to sleep or rest! There are fishermen during the day but most of them left the site at night. You have to go through the parking lot to find the site. Big place with 4 mobile toilets that is really quiet at night. Even a deer was walking next to the car 🤗
ScoutWe 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.
ScoutThis was a beautiful pet friendly camp site showers water to play in animal friendly all around beautiful and amazing
