Best Cabin Camping near White Pass, WA

Several cabin options dot the landscape near White Pass, Washington, offering overnight accommodation for visitors to the region. Rimrock Lake Resort features cabins along with traditional camping areas, positioned on a peninsula of Rimrock Lake with views of the water.

Other cabin accommodations can be found at Bumping Lake Campground, Hause Creek Campground, and Packwood RV Park & Campground. Cabins throughout the region typically include basic furnishings and access to shared restroom facilities, with varying levels of electricity and water hookups.

Several campgrounds near White Pass operate year-round, including Rimrock Lake Resort and Elkamp Eastcreek, while others like Bumping Lake Campground are seasonal, typically open from late May through September. Most cabin sites require reservations, especially during summer months when visitation peaks. Pet policies vary by location, with many campgrounds allowing leashed pets at cabin sites. According to one visitor at Rimrock Lake Resort, "If you want to just relax and enjoy nature than this is it. There is no cable, internet or cell service. But it's absolutely a little piece of heaven."

Most cabins provide beds and basic furniture but require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, and sleeping bags. Kitchen facilities range from simple fire pits with picnic tables to cabins with more comprehensive cooking options. Camp stores at locations like Rimrock Lake Resort offer limited provisions including snacks and basic camping supplies, though hours may be restricted. Campgrounds near Highway 12 provide easy access to additional supplies in nearby communities.

    Eagle Cliff Campground

    Last stop on summer trip

    We picked this campsite as our last stop on a week long camping trip round Rainer and St. Helens area. Nice flat camping area, picnic bench fire pit, a bit of a mosquito challenge but not too bad. Lots of families, and maybe even groups. Has showers, which is what we mainly booked for. Small general store, basketball hoop, pizza shop, and some cabin rentals. Luckily the dance party ended just after dark, so we got plenty of sleep. Stayed only 1 night. Plus is ranger station 5 minutes from site, with maps, stickers, fridge magnets, etc. Ranger gave us detail on ape caves, and other are hikes for kids, AND ranger was cool enough to tell us all about his Bigfoot experience in the area, complete with mobile phone picture of footprint! Lots of kids and teens, but some fisherman too, who didn’t seem to mind the dance music and footballs flying around!

    Lake Easton State Park Campground

    Perfect for a one night stay

    This was a lovely campsite. It was smaller, yet felt large enough so you had your own privacy and space. There were clean facilities available, as well as drinking water and trash bins. Our lot was spacious with a nice picnic table, fire pit, and area for our two person tent. Everyone around us was respectful of one another and wasn't too loud late at night. There are trails behind the campsite that lead down to the river, or just a short drive away is the 'beach' and bridge overlooking the lake. It is peaceful and although the highway is close by, seeing the beauty of the area makes you think and feel you are deeper in nature. I would definitely stay here again for a longer period of time!

    Eagle Cliff Campground

    Mt St Helens Campground Oasis

    Lucked out with a last minute Father's Day weekend reservation at this great little campground located just at the junction of Mt St Helens and Gifford Pinchot. The campground is bookable online for only $15 a night which felt like a bargain for a private campground in the area. 

    There are only 10 camping sites - some are suitable for RVs. There are also very small cabins that can be rented. There is a well stocked camp store on the property which is staffed from 7am to 7pm. There is also a pizza place on the property which is visited by a lot of area day hikers, so if you want an all day quiet woodsy feel you might want a different location, but if you've been camping or hiking for days on end without any amenities, this place will feel like an oasis.

    The campground was busy over the weekend, but was nearly empty and quiet by the time Sunday night rolled around. We were at campsite #9 which was right next to a basketball hoop which got plenty of use while people were waiting for pizza (and was a bit noisy). The Pizza Place is not open everyday.

    Each site had a firepit with grill and a picnic table. The toilet in the camping area had cold running water and a flush toilet. The toilets closer to the camp store had hot water and an outlet. Showers are available for an additional $3 charge, and laundry facilities are available for $5 a load on certain days.

    The Camp Store had lots of knowledge about local hikes and what roads were open around MSH.  We used this campground as a base to hike Ape Caves, June Lake and Ape Canyon. It was about 30 minutes of forest road driving to the trail heads.

    The Cottonwood Retreat

    Off-Grid Cozy Glamping Experience

    Ashley here with The Dyrt. We're happy to have this property on our platform. This host offers a heated "Glabin" that is off-grid (no running water or electricity) "We suggest that you bring water bottles and snacks. There is a portapotty at your campsite." This is a set-up from tent camping!  There are also horses, cattle, chicken, and dogs on the property! Check them out and leave them some love.

    Peterson Prairie Campground

    Solid Campground

    Good sized spots with plenty of trees, picnic table, and metal fire rings with grill grates. Good feeling of privacy. Lots of wild huckleberries to pick when we visited in late July. Clean pit toilets. Drinking water available. Close to ice cave. Fishing at Goose Lake nearby.

    Taneum Cabin

    HANTAVIRUS CABIN

    I want to start by saying that I have low expectations for hygiene and cleanliness, especially in rustic forest service buildings. But this cabin failed to meet my extremely low bar with its out of control mouse situation (see photos).

    First, much of the information currently available online is incomplete or inaccurate so here's some irl deets as of August 2025:

    This cabin is smaller than it looks in the pictures. It's maybe 300-400 sq feet. 

    There is a flush toilet and shower inside the cabin. Shower is small. The hot water is HOT. You have to walk through the bedroom to get to the bathroom.

    Lights: Don't rely on lighting being provided. As far as we could tell, the propane lights were disconnected? (There is also zero info on how to light them.) There were three LED mini lanterns, none of which had working batteries. 

    Kitchen supplies:  Generally ok (the usual amount of beat up) but bring your own silverware. There were three metal spoons and a handful of plastic forks when we were there. WASH EVERYTHING BEFORE USE.

    There is one bedroom with a reasonably comfortable double or queen bed. BYO bedding. The walls don't go all the way to the ceiling, so don't expect privacy.

    There is a futon couch in the "living room" area. It is very beat up and extremely uncomfortable. Do not attempt to sleep on this if you value your ability to sleep or to have a functioning back. It's really, really bad. I am not exaggerating.

    There is a small dining table with two chairs. There is one rocking chair.

    The stove and frig (which included a freezer) worked great. 

    The cabin is about 40' off of a road that is frequented by OHV enthusiasts. It has a very large parking area which is shared by the camp host for the two campgrounds down the road. He told me he is not the host for the cabin, however.

    AFAIK, there was no host for the cabin and no one is regularly checking on it? There were candles (which aren't allowed) left by previous guests. 

    There is a nice creek across the parking area and past the camp host site. 

    The worst: MICE. And mouse poop. EVERYWHERE. 

    I saw reports of mice in other reviews and wasn't too worried. Mice happen in the woods! I arrived with sanitizing wipes and snap traps. 

    I would have had to work for days to clean that place up. There was mouse poop everywhere. Cabinets with pots and pans had mouse poop and torn up paper towels. Mouse poop on the counter. Mouse poop on the rocking chair. Mouse poop on the futon. 

    At night, so many mouse noises. Among other areas they are living in the chimney/wood stove area. Good luck to whoever first tries to light a fire this fall! 

    The worst area was under the sink. There was a hole leading to the wall space, which was packed with torn paper towels and mouse poop, pee, and some black stuff (mold?) Another hole led to an area under the cabinets, which also had a giant pile of shredded paper and mouse feces.

    I killed three mice over the two nights we were there. They were definitely deer mice, aka the ones that carry hanta virus. We wore masks when sweeping. I felt bad for my friends who slept in there (I slept in my van outside.)

    I expected mice, but I didn't expect there to be zero evidence of anyone trying to deal with them or ensure the basic safety of guests. It is crazy that they charge $125 /night for this and fail to do even the absolute minimum of caretaking.

    If the mouse situation wasn't such a horror show, I would give this four stars. The cabin itself would be nice if anyone cared about it.

    Elk Meadows RV Park

    Gorgeous place!

    What a beautiful RV park! Large spaces, easy to drive through, 30 and 50 amp, most sites had full hookups with fire pits and picnic tables. There is a park right on the lake, wonderful wildlife viewing, an adult size set of swings just made my day. Took me back to small kid times! Wifi available at the pavilion near the park. Very clean bathrooms. Large dumpsters. and a dump station. We also saw a propane fill station as well. We will definitely be back.

    Elkamp Eastcreek

    Clean, beautiful

    Well maintained campground, full hookups and tent sites available. Sites fairly large & private with tons of old trees and right next to a creek. Bathrooms clean. Fire pits and firewood available from hosts. Easy access to Rainier NP. Hosts super nice. Only thing that would make this place better is more substantial picnic tables which were new but kind of rickety. Would camp here again.

    Bumping Lake Campground

    My favorite lake camping

    My family and I have stayed at Bumping Lake for years. It’s off grid and the spots are large and private. The lake is great. There is a lot of hiking and biking trails.


Guide to White Pass

Cabin accommodations around White Pass range from basic shelters to more developed options with varying seasonal availability. The area sits at approximately 4,500 feet elevation in the Cascade Mountains, experiencing heavy snowfall in winter months and moderate temperatures during summer. Several cabin facilities operate year-round while others close from October through late May.

What to do

Fishing at Bumping Lake: Boat rentals available at Bumping Lake Campground marina for accessing deeper water. "We rented one to get a Geocache that was on an island on the lake. The lake is five miles long with lots of camping spots along the lake," notes one visitor.

Hiking nearby trails: Multiple trail systems connect to camping areas with varying difficulty levels. "We rode our mountain bikes up to Packwood lake one morning, which is 10 miles round trip. It's a great biking trail, but can also be used as a hiking trail if you're looking for a longer day hike," reports a camper at Packwood RV Park & Campground.

Snowshoeing in winter: Several campgrounds with cabins remain open during winter months for cold-weather activities. According to visitors, cabin locations near White Pass Ski Area provide convenient access to both downhill and cross-country skiing trails when snow conditions permit.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Cabin areas typically offer more separation than standard camping. "Site 9 is huge with room for several tents and hammocks. There's little to no vegetation between it and site 10, but the river drowns out conversation and music noise, so it feels more private," notes a visitor to Hause Creek Campground.

Disconnected environment: Limited connectivity creates opportunity for genuine outdoor experience. "If you want to just relax and enjoy nature than this is it. There is no cable, internet or cell service. But it's absolutely a little piece of heaven," explains a camper at Rimrock Lake Resort.

Natural water features: Many cabins sit near rivers or lakes for easy recreation access. "The sites were clean and the park busy. Be prepared for road noise that drowns out the sound of the river," advises a visitor documenting their experience.

What you should know

Reservation timing: Summer cabin bookings fill months in advance, especially Friday-Sunday. Winter reservations for cabins often require less lead time except during holiday periods or ski season weekends.

Site variations: Cabin sizes and furnishings differ significantly between locations. "Campsites were large with room for several tents and hammocks. Beach access can be found down a steep-ish hill, but with the river running high, only allowed for a few rocks to sit on," notes a camper.

Weather preparedness: Mountain conditions change rapidly in all seasons. "It's always windy and temps drop at night even after warm days so dress accordingly," advises a visitor to Cascade Peaks Family Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Some cabin locations include recreational facilities for children. "Great for kids, big playground and easy walk near lake," notes a visitor to Rimrock Lake Resort, providing additional outdoor entertainment options.

Swimming opportunities: Several cabin sites offer shallow water access suitable for supervised children. "We stayed for three nights. Our campsite was right on the water side which made swimming and playing in the water so easy," reports a Bumping Lake Campground visitor.
