What Guests Are Saying
La Wis Wis Campground offers a beautiful setting with spacious, private sites, great access to hiking trails, and the nearby Ohanapecosh River, making it ideal for nature lovers. While some guests noted issues with maintenance, lack of potable water, and crowded conditions, many appreciated the cleanliness of the bathrooms and the overall charm of the campground. The location near Mt. Rainier and the peaceful atmosphere during weekdays were also frequently highlighted as positive aspects of the experience.

We really enjoyed our time at La Wis Wis. the only reason for not giving 5 stars is there always no water available(I did receive an email to bring extra water prior to our visit) and the smell in the outhouses was atrocious after 2 days of being there. It smelled like chemicals. Which made it hard to breathe. Other than those 2 things, the campground was very clean and well kept up. We will definitely be back. 😀

Quiet, beautiful location. Ohanapecosh River was nearby and got water from there. Drinking water was off, but we took enough bottled water. Mount Rainier NP was close and other beautiful locations, hot springs, and waterfalls. We camped in the middle of the rainforest. Highly recommended!

A $35 fee should not be charged when a campground is without any source of fresh, potable water. To our surprise, all bathrooms were closed and no water spigots were functional when we arrived for our stay. Recreation.gov had my contact information and should have informed all reservation holders of this issue in advance. Had we been told about the lack of basic services we would have cancelled our stay. I believe Recreation.gov and/or the campground concession should be providing full refunds.
