"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."
"Not far from paradise."

"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)."
"Walk up only after Labor Day. You circle the campground looking for an open spot, then pay your fee at an electronic kiosk outside the visitor center."
$20 - $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. "

"There is also a man who drives around with firewood since you can't bring your own from the outside, and it's very inexpensive."
"Great trail access to the wonderland trail. September is warm by mid day and in the morning and evening there is that cool PNW mountain breeze. Stayed in the A loop."
"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."
"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."

"Right off the main road, but several sweet camping spots more tucked away and along the river."
$25 - $45 / night

"We found an awesome walk in spot a little bit earlier on on the forest road before these actual coordinates."

"The campground is in a beautiful setting next to the White River(it is more greige than white due to glacial milk) and a short distance to the entrance to Mount Ranier NP."
ScoutNo toilets or water, but you can get s spot right next to the river! right in the forest so lots of shade, and great for dogs as well!
LegendWe had high hopes for this USFS campground, having read that it’s on an airstrip, it sounded neat. But we decided not to stay here after we checked it out. There were lots and lots of other campers there, lots of camo, lots of large pickup trucks that don’t slow down on gravel roads, lots of “don’t tread on me” flags. We drove to the end where the bathroom is and decided to turn around, though it seems that the camp spots do continue after that point. This was on a Saturday, in all fairness, so the vibe might be different during the week.
It’s a 14 day stay limit, and other than the toilets there are no other amenities, so please pack out your trash. At the entrance it says that the following passes are honored: Annual Northwest Forest Pass, Golden Eagle Passport, and Washington and Oregon Recreation Pass. However, at the bathrooms, there’s another sign that says a $5 day use fee required. Doesn’t make sense that camping is free with certain passes but for day use it’s a $5 fee, but since we weren’t staying we didn’t look much into it. No ATV or off road riding here.
Cell signal was very weak for Verizon and non-existent for ATT. Giving it 4 stars instead of 3 because it wasn't so bad that I wouldn't be willing to check it out again the next time we're in the area.

GuideAll of the Clear Lake campgrounds are closed for two years. Sad. It’s a beautiful area though hoping to go back someday.

TravelerThis campground is remarkable in the privacy between each of the camping spots, the bird life, the wild and deep forest vibes, and the walking trails. The washroom and shower is kept clean, as is the rest of the campground.
TravelerYou have to keep your eye out for the turn off.
The road can be a bit thin, so I would be careful with extra large vehicles. It is also a bit of a challenging road, so low clearance vehicles wouldn’t be treated well.
It’s a great location. Some spots close to the water and others in the trees.
Great views and I felt very safe as a solid traveler.
I can tell that this would get pretty full in the busy season and on weekends
GuideNot 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.
TravelerLovely camping area. Easy to find, felt very comfortable.
So many spots up on the water. Not the most privacy due to the open space but plenty of room to distance yourself from others.
