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.

Tiny little campsite (big enough for my 1-man tent) next to trash bins on one side and downhill from the bathrooms on the other; there was pretty constant movement and a lot more light in my tent than usual. Otherwise, nice campground! BUT--if there's no fire warning, be aware that they will cheat the PANTS off of you on wood prices: $15 for a tiny bundle (I saw $8 at White River Campground a couple days later). The attendant literally said to me, "It's cheaper outside the park, but most people don't wanna drive out and wait in line to enter again." Nice of him to explain price-gouging to me. It seems incredibly shortsighted of the campground/park not to offer fair prices if they don't want people to bring in their own wood from more than 50 mi away.

Really good camping experience at the campground. Nice campsite, good ranger programs and the national park is obviously beautiful. If there were 1-2 more washrooms, that would be great.

Overall Campground was good, quiet. Our tent site B24 was a little small and not much space. We had two very small tents and felt like we were right up against the fire pit and very close to the narrow road way. Our site was suppose to be good for 6 ppl but it’s more comfortable for 2-3 ppl max
