Campsite 14 is on the inside of the loop, between two other inside sites, not the outside as it appears on the map. Bathrooms cleaned timely. The picnic tables were amazing and clean, and we had a nice flat spot for two tents close together. We accessed the creek for swimming through Campsite 10, which wasn't available for reservations yet. Drove to Mt Rainier - suggest you leave the campsite due to traffic headed towards the park.

Perfect place to camp if you’re visiting Mt Rainier. We stayed for two nights in early June—it was cold and rainy so there weren’t many people in the campground. Pit toilets were well maintained, water spigots were plentiful. More importantly, the scenery is beautiful! Big trees, lush and green, plus a creek we could hear from our tent site. We stayed at site 13 and had plenty of room for a big tent (there’s room for a second tent if needed) and there was a little path down to the creek! We would stay here again when visiting Rainier.

This site is great. We were able to fit two small tents. It’s right on the creek with your own private rocky beach. The water is low and calm enough for kids to swim in. We brought an inner tube and rope for the kids to go down. Great space between you and your neighbors. The fire pit and picnic table looked brand new. And the garbage, water, and bathroom are a short walk.

Very well maintained quiet lush green campground with clean bathrooms, and a large table and fire ring at each site.

We stayed on site 3 instead of 2. I think the best sites for tents are 3, 6 or 20. 3 and 6 great creek front. The bathrooms were super clean. The camp host Terry was great!! Lots of hiking in the area.

We chose this campground because it is close to Mt Rainier and reservable. Lots of foliage gives privacy, vault toilets were clean and the camp hosts were friendly. Would definitely stay again.

The campground was quiet and beautiful. We booked a group site without knowing it, because it was the last option available. Beware that the sites that are more expensive are likely group sites!
