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.

The number of people blatantly violating the fire ban was baffling. Yes, propane fire pits are allowed but so many sites had wood fires. The camp host has zero authority to do anything about it. Be prepared to have to explain to your kids why some people think they don't need to follow the rules. Bathrooms were pit toilets but very clean and stocked with TP. The hosts were nice but their site seemed very unapproachable. Their camper van even had a sticker saying something about second amendment rights which made me think twice before knocking on their door. I don't think they should be the vibe they are giving off. Some of the sites were too small even for a backpacking size tent which was frustrating. We had to have our friends move their tent into our slightly larger but not very level site.

The campground is beautiful. However, the campsite we reserved was already occupied by another camper - not their fault because there was no reserved tag with our name on it. We had prepaid. We had to take another campsite, fill out a form and note on it that we had prepaid for another site.
The bathrooms were not maintained and some were closed. Maybe this was all due to the fact that we camped in September, the week before it was due to close.
