The campground was quiet, beautiful situated along a creek/river. The water and bathrooms were close by. The water was plentiful and fresh. The bathrooms clean. Everyone was friendly. The proximity to Rainer was amazing!

Great quiet tent camping on H loop. Clean facilities and super friendly camp hosts. Did not know about the blue hole but it was a wonderful place to cool off after a long day in the park. Short walk in your flip flops. That is worth coming back to.
