Views for days!

Finding a great place to stay that is near Mt. Rainier National Park is always the best. Cougar Rock Campground is a perfect place to camp if you are wanting to do some hiking within the park. Located in Ashford, you are close to so many hikes, it’s amazing. My family and I did a few hikes a day because we couldn’t choose just 1. The views of Mt. Rainier are incredible on these hikes. You can see Rainier a tiny bit from the campground, too. Wonderland Trail is close by and it’s a perfect hike!! The campground is great, spacious and has the basic ammentities. Definitely get a reservation early, though, because it does fill up very fast. It was full when we got there and checked in around 1pm. They have bathrooms on site, picnic tables and fire pits. There is also a lookout point in the campground where you can see Mt. Rainier. Doesn’t get any better than that!! Highly recommend :)
