This is a beautiful location. We loved walking around the lake. It was also close to the Paradise visitor center where we took a hike with glorious views of Mount Rainier. I'd recommend finding a camp spot near the bathroom. The nearest one for us was a bit of walk, and not doable in the dark.

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.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

- 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.

- 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.
