Hike-in access defines this backcountry camping area within Mount Rainier National Park, requiring campers to carry gear along the trail to reach designated sites. The National Park Service manages these primitive campsites with no vehicle access, running water, or electrical hookups. Pets are prohibited throughout the area.
Campers must obtain backcountry permits before arrival and pack out all waste. The sites sit at elevation, where weather conditions can change rapidly even during summer months. For those preferring drive-in access with developed amenities, Ohanapecosh Campground — Mount Rainier National Park provides an alternative with established facilities.
