It was impossible to stay here. There was no potable water. We checked the website before we arrived to make sure that everything was OK, zero warning about a lack of water. The webpage clearly stated that water was available. We arrive to find the campsite empty, most of the sites reserved, but almost no one staying there, presumably because no potable water! We requested a refund and only got three dollars. Absolutely avoid this place. Terrible management as well.

Not having potable water was less of an issue than expected, though an explanation for the situation would have helped a lot. The bathroom closest to our campsite was not cleaned during the week we were there, until the day of departure. As usual, the campground setting was beautiful, one of our very favorite places to come.

La Wis Wis campground is close to the southeast entrance to Mt Rainer to go to Paradise and a good place to stay.

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. 😀

all was fine except for lack of running water. We were warned in advance about the water problem.

We visited both Mt Rainier National Park and Mt St Helens National Recreation Area while staying at La Wis Wis campground. The campground has plenty of sites to choose from and they are well spaced out so there is plenty of privacy. The one complaint my friend and i had was that there was no potable water available at the campground and we only found out about this from a hand written note on the bulletin board when we arrived. Luckily we had brought some water with us. Otherwise we enjoyed our time at the campground.
