Mt Rainer camping spots were all reserved and the Recreation website indicated Bumping Lake camping was available and showed only 16 miles from Mt Rainer, I should have checked because it was more like 35 miles and 50 miles to the end of Sunrise Road.
The camping spots were very spacious and far apart from each other. There was a vaulted toilet which I didn't care for. The water spigot was an old-fashioned type that took a lot of effort to get water out. It was a beautiful ride down the valley into our campsite. The lake was interesting with all the tree stumps in the water which made swimming odd at times. overall I would give it a 2.5 star

Dragged my boat up there after being told I could get it in the water (18' 90hp) found out the water level was too low. Need some kind of up to date water level indication on these irrigation lakes. Otherwise the campground was nice and quiet (weekdays). May go back in the spring when there is actual water in the lake and not a bunch of stumps

Nice campground! Beautiful views and the lake was nice to swim in. So many baby frogs! Try not to squish them when you walk on the beach.

Great campground. Lake was populated with a ton of tiny frogs that my 5 year old loved.

- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
