About Cougar Rock Campground

Cougar Rock Campground, on the southwest side of Mt. Rainier National Park, is conveniently located near Paradise. Individual campsites are reservable on this page. Group campsite reservations can be made via Cougar Rock Group Campground. Paradise is the most popular destination in the park, with a lodge and visitor center, many miles of hiking trails and a commanding view of the mountain-the highest in the state and Cascade range. The main attraction at Mount Rainier National Park is the mountain itself, a massive glacier-clad volcano, peaking at 14.4 ft. and dominating the skyline for hundreds of miles. Visitors travel through majestic old-growth forests, past tumbling waterfalls and historic buildings to reach sub-alpine meadows, where world-famous wildflower displays bloom through July and August. Popular activities in the park include sight-seeing, hiking, rock climbing and camping. Cougar Rock campground is located at an elevation of 3.2 ft. Summers are dry and cool with daytime temperatures ranging from 60 to 80 degrees. Weather throughout the park can be variable, so visitors should come prepared.

This particular campground is not well-maintained. When we arrived at our campsite, we found 2 pairs of underwear someone had left on a rock in the parking area. We discovered a bear vault lid and other trash littered around the campsite. We tripped multiple times on big rocks separating the bench area from the tent area. There was also a tree overhanging that made moving between the two areas more difficult.

The restrooms were a mixed bag. I went into the first stall and the toilet would not flush correctly. I initially panicked. It took me over 6 flushes to finally get the evidence out of view. The other stalls were fine. Other than that, the women's restroom was relatively clean. My husband said the men's restroom was not any better. He was using the restroom when someone flushed an adjacent clogged toilet. This, of course, caused the toilet to overflow. This problem was addressed the following day.

My husband and I have determined that out of all the campsites we have ever stayed at, this was probably the worst.

Very nice campground to stay at for our trip to Mount Rainier. The area was clean and bathrooms close to our site. I loved getting to stay inside the national park!

Always a great place to stay— I car camp or tent camp. Clean restrooms (no showers at this one but they make it known when booking and park descriptions) makes early morning access to trails easier. The campground is quiet and people are friendly.

The campground had one step up from the car to the tent pad and table. Campground overall was good and just a short drive up to paradise, perfect to start the day before the masses arrive.
Only thing to beware: Some chipmunks entered our car overnight and nibbled on the bread and toilet paper, so better pack up anything edible.

Great campground! Clean and well kept, quiet when we were there. The sites didn’t feel as close together as I’ve noticed they often can in one of the larger NPS parks. We liked our stay and enjoyed the proximity, as well as the ease of booking last minute.

Beautiful and nicely located campground! It is quite large, but mostly quiet and peaceful. This particular spot is large and relatively close to the neighboring campsites, but the way the vegetation is makes it feel more private. There are a couple large secure recycling + trash bins if you can't pack out, as well as a few food storage bins scattered throughout the loop in case you don't have secure storage in your vehicle/RV - lots of critters come in and out of the camp, and this is bear country after all. Bathrooms are flush toilets but do not have hand dryers or paper towels, so plan to bring a washcloth/rag to dry your hands or else expect to air dry. Overall, would love to return!

We had an E loop spot the first night. Tge loop is close to the highway and spaces are quite close. The next 4 nights we were in the C loop. Nice loop and our site was further from others. Only negative thing was the many trees left lying on the ground, apparently cut for safety. We understand leaving them to nature but the site was not attractive abd not really “ natural “ appearing due to how they were left. Woman adjacent to us cranked up her music but she tuned it down when asked (after a rather sarcastic comment). Music should not be allowed in a campground. People want to hear nature.
