Lack of water and extremely stinky bathroom made us leave after two days. We forfeited two days of camping. Sad to see how the campground has changed.

It is a beautiful location next to a couple of rivers. Campsites are a good size, but there was no water available, nor ability to have campfires. It is not a luxury site, but worked well for us. The Blue Hole is a pretty swimming spot.

I loved this forested campground. The sites are nicely spaced. I enjoyed my stay thoroughly!

The campground is overused. Some sign posts didn’t have numbers to identify which site. Reservation info hadn’t been posted for several days which caused confusion with many campers. Vehicles everywhere.
Seemed highly disorganized and the sites were in need of maintenance. Would not stay here again.

Sierra and Shyla were superb managers. They stopped in to greet us. They answered questions and made us feel welcomed. Thank you!

This was the perfect spot for our Mt Rainier adventures. We were aware of the water issues and were able to fill up before entering. The river was a refreshing way to end the day. The out houses needed emptied, but they were tidy and well stocked.

Great location and easy to find. Not too far away for sunrise area - we woke up earlier and managed to get in Sunrise before 7am as we don't have the reservation to enter during the Timed reservation hour.

Always a pleasure to stay there, reserved a spot to be able to grab a first come first serve spot the next day. Only complaint is the nearest bathroom didn’t have a path without going thru someones campsite.
