This campground was in need of heavy maintenance. Missing campsite numbers which caused confusion. Sites were overused. Dark and dingy. Too few restrooms for hundreds of sites. Great location but would not stay here again.

Noisy, crowded, litter almost everywhere, even alongside and in the river.

This is the second time at La Wis Wis campgrounds, the first was seven years ago. On our second booking they did not have water, something about a new system being hooked up, I hope that the water is back on. The second trip also seemed as though the campgrounds was run down and on the verge of neglect. The location is ideal, but going back to the appearance, I would like to see some improvements in that area.

Quiet small campground that is in a perfect location to many hiking trails. Large campsites with the river nearby.

Love this campground, though it's hard to get in and out of and has no cell phone service whatsoever. Wish the water was connected and it was open during October.

Wonderful campground conveniently located near Mt. Rainier amongst big trees. No cell service or data. Some loops not suitable for large RVs or trailers.

La Wis Wis is my favorite campground. I love the trees and river, and the sites are large enough to not be crowded up against other campers. And, it’s close to gorgeous Mt Rainier!

Beautiful setting. Site was OK for our trailer, quite open, and right next to 2 trash bins. Although it was reportedly nearly full with reserved ( better) sites, it clearly was not. Priced high for no amenities, compared to other sites on our trip to the Olympic Peninsula.
