This is free camp ground
This a a free camp ground if you have a Wa “Discover Pass” it is a shady campground not great for solar. It is a pleasant campground but can be noisy at times as there is a shooting range not to far away.

Nice campground
Not sure why it says $30, this place is free WITH your Discover Pass, 7 day limit in a 30 day period.
Vault toilets are pretty clean.
There is NO trash here, pack it in, pack it out. Keep it clean. Lots of horses here which is enjoyable. An ADA trail is level for walking the dog. …

Amazing place
Decided super last minute to go up to mount Rainier and found this campground. Super clean, friendly people, and very close to the entrance to the park. Definitely planning to come here again when I come up
