My fav place to stay in rainier

Absolutely lovely place to stay in Mt Rainier National Park. I love that it is right on the river and there is a trailhead right out of the campground. The only thing to note is that this is located right outside the entrance to the park so if it’s a busy day then the line to get in might be long!

Isolated but avoid on windy days

This was a cool spot, you drive in and just park at whatever spot you want. It was not too busy when we went and we arrived later in the day. There are no bathrooms or water so come prepared. It was really windy in the morning and there was lots of dirt in the eyes but otherwise amazing!

Great campground!

This campsite is a great established site with lots of space and walking distance from the lovers lane trail head and the sol doc hot springs. Make sure to do both! This site is also near crescent lake, so it’s a great place to stay if trying to do both! Bathrooms were standard. There are showers at the hot springs as well as a little store.

Great place for families

This park is huge! Lots of space to hand out and swim. There’s always kids running around so it is great for young ones. Bathrooms were clean and big.

Fun spot in the summer!

I love bringing my family out here to camp every summer. This camping spot has easy water access and I never find that it is too busy. The camping is on gravel so make sure to bring THICK pads if sleeping on the ground. This is definitely the place to use a cot or car camp. Bathrooms were clean and the hosts were always sweet.
