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.

Lovely experience at Cougar Rock for our first time there. We particularly love the ranger programs and our kids (7 and 9) liked the amphitheater... they put on their own play and invited everyone to come see it :) . The bathroom path in loop B inexplicably runs right through another campsite (literally the middle of their driveway), which was a little awkward. Overall there isn't a lot of privacy between campsites but it was more "line of sight" other people rather than "everyone is on top of us," and that's what we expected to find at a popular campground. We enjoyed a four-night stay with hiking nearby and easy access to Paradise.

Reservations mean nothing here! We made our reservation months in advance, selecting a site near a restroom because a person in our party has a medical issue. After checking in, we went to our reserved site only to find it occupied. A tent and other items were there, but no people.
We went back to the ranger station, waiting in line again, and the ranger didn't care at all. His solution was for us to find another site. After 45 minutes, we found another. There were few empty sites and none near a restroom. We returned to the ranger station, waiting in line again, to find that the dude had no recollection of our conversation and situation.

Well, we stayed 1 night. It wasn't great as the site wasn't right for us. We noticed that the squatters returned to our reserved site and stayed there likely for free. No one came around to check reservations. So, you make reservations months in advance. Drive the long drive to get there, wait 1.5 hours to enter the park, then find your supposedly reserved site taken and they don't do anything about it.

We had two side by side campsites (E15 and 16), big enough for three tents and 9 people. Bathrooms super clean. Checking in was really easy. Highly recommend.

Very nice campground. We stayed in loop D which doesn’t have bear boxes at each site so just be prepared to leave food in your car. We will definitely be camping here again.

The campground and park employees were excellent. Grounds are well maintained, campers were all very nice and respectful. My only complaint is the reservation system for this campground. I tried to reserve a site online months in advance the day the sites became available to reserve. I tried to do this for several days but there was never a single site available no matter when I checked. How is that possible? I ended up taking a chance and got a first come first serve site. But what is the deal with the online reservations, how come I couldn’t see any open sites at all months in advance? Not even a single night midweek? Something seems wrong, should have asked some people with reservations what they did.
