Along the North Puyallup River drainage in Mount Rainier National Park, this backcountry camping area provides designated sites for backpackers exploring the park's northern wilderness. The National Park Service manages these primitive campsites as part of the park's backcountry permit system. Sites require advance reservations and backcountry permits through the park's wilderness office. Campers exploring campgrounds around Mount Rainier National Park will find Aurora Lake — Mount Rainier National Park less than a mile southwest for additional backcountry options. Pack all water treatment supplies, as natural sources require purification.
