Great sites, more private than I expected. Very cold in May but beautiful. Can’t wait to go back

Great campgrounds, super clean and spaced far apart so it feels very private. The lake itself is gorgeous with good trails back and forth and thousands of tiny frogs hopping along the beach. We had a great stay, would recommend to anyone looking to camp near Mt. Rainier.

Spent 5 days at Bumping Lake with my family. We were in the upper campground #16. It was nice and there was plenty of space between camp sites. The vault toilets were very clean. Drinking water was easily accessible. Access to the lake was fairly easy and short (5 minutes walk). The reservation site showed almost all the sites as reserved; however, only about half were used, which means we had neighbors only a couple of nights. The only downfall was that the dumpsters were super full for several days. We arrived on a Monday and they were already full (probably from a busy weekend). They weren't emptied until Thursday. Not a huge issue. We were able to find a dumpster near the end of the campground, which gave us another reason to go for a nice walk each day. I would definitely recommend this place!

great experience for our first time here. Site 19 was a little small we have a large tent and two small tents for the kids. The kids placed their tents on the hill to the side and that allowed us to get our larger tent in the spot. The spaces are spread apart and private. We will be back.

Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- 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. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
