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 got in on a short-notice reservation for La Wis Wis campground for a double spot 18M Loop D right on the river. It was amazing for it’s location and had lots of room. Now one of our favorite spots! There was an issue with water but we were notified with plenty of time to pack our own. The only downer was the vault toilet not being maintained thru the weekend but we packed extra TP 🤣 Cell coverage was almost nonexistent for our phones but our older iPad managed to get 1 bar in our tent so it became our hotspot for emergency contacts and text

Beautiful surroundings. Very clean and quiet. Updated porta potty - not stinky. We particularly enjoyed all the old growth trees.
Hope you can fix the water problem but we didn’t mind bringing our own water.

We have been coming to this area for years, and we have had amazing experiences. This year was completely different and such a bizarre experience. From the beginning, the camp "hosts" were rude and combative. They were aggressive in every interaction where they approached us. We felt unsafe and intimidated with them around because they were so volatile. Their three large dogs and their weird behavior made us feel like we couldn't even approach them. The toilets were the worst they have been in a while. The air would burn our eyes it was so strong. Until these camp "hosts" are gone, we will not be returning.

Terrible camping experience. We were right next to the camp hosts. They insisted on running their generators 24/7 which was very annoying and made it difficult to sleep and enjoy the beautiful woods. Who wants to hear that all day and night? When I asked him about it, he became aggressive and angry and threatened to kick me out of the campground. The colorful language he used was shocking and disappointing. The hosts were rude, combative, aggressive, and threatening to our entire group. Not a good experience. Also, their huge pit bulls and the plastic skeleton hanging in the tree in front of their site didn't make things better. The toilets were terrible and disgusting. Such a disappointing weekend!

The site we booked was so small it could not accommodate our tent. Trash was all over the sites. No running water. I wouldn't recommend staying at this campground.
