La Wis Wis has many single and double camp sites with several set apart for first come first served guests. The restrooms are well maintained. While we were there, there was no potable water available, so verify that ahead of time and bring your own if necessary as we did. Tent spots in the sites can be somewhat unlevel, so make do with what you encounter. Camp host was friendly and attentive

First time tent camping, one adult and four kids. I didn't really know what I was getting into. An important thing to know is that there is no running water or electricity in the entire campground. While we were there, there was a burn ban and no campground host. I asked another camper in my loop to show me how to use my propane stove and they were happy to help me. My kids had a great time! Two great things about this campground are the Ohanapecosh River and the mile-long paved main loop of the campground. If you are bringing kids I recommend you bring bikes or scooters, fishing poles, buckets and shovels for playing in the sand along the river. We went mid-week during the busy time of August, and there were fewer than half of the spots filled, it felt peaceful and safe. I talked to two families who relocated to this campground last minute from two other campgrounds which closed, (one was due to smoke, I can't remember the other reason). I wasn't able to send or receive text messages from the park, but I could in Packwood, 6.5 miles away. You can refill water containers at Ohanapecosh campground about five miles in the opposite direction. We were able to get by with less than 8 gallons of water for a 2 night stay.

Beautiful, peaceful campground in the middle of an old growth forest near the river. It was not crowded at all, but this may have been due to the recent shut off of all the water. Make sure you know where you want to hike or fish before you leave and there was not information posted anywhere on the bulletin boards and there were no camp hosts either.
