A great overnight spot!

This was a great spot right by the park for us to crash for the night. We pulled in on a Tuesday night and there were lots of spots open. Great sites with a table and a fire pit. Multiple bathrooms throughout the area as well. There are plenty of hikes and areas to explore, plus you can buy firewood right down the road if you want to cook or just hang out. It was pretty quiet, you could pick from secluded or more open sites. We slept in our rooftop tent and loved the nature sounds throughout the night.

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.

Shooting range is close by, doesn’t bother me but it’s pretty noisy. Can hear some highway noise, but again, hasn’t bothered me

I depend 100% on solar. There is deep shade in all camp spots, I chose a fairly sunny spot, but it wasn’t enough to charge my batteries. Just a heads up.

Will return if visiting rainier again :)

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

I love Free Camping

If you have a Discover Pass already you are good to go. Love of area for Horses, trailers and regular camping. Vault toilets. No views but who doesn’t like Free?
