We had a very unfortunate experience at this campground. Night one was great- we show up Around 6 pm ish and our reserved spot was excellent, larger than I thought too. Night two however, we return after a day of hiking to find another group of campers in our reserved site. The camp host had sold out our site while we were out for the day and refused to return it to us citing “they had more stuff than we did- it’s easier for us to pack up somewhere else” and “this happens sometimes”. As a note- We did check in with the host the first night we arrived. Since it was past 5 pm on a holiday weekend there were no other Options to reserve a campsite anywhere near the surrounding area. As we walked away another camper approached the host with the same concern- someone else was in their reserved campsite too. I Do not recommend reserving online for this Location as there is no guarantee it will be there for you as reserved.

Restrooms were closed due to Covid, but porta pottys were installed throughout the campground. Well maintained campground close to MT.Rainier NP.

There is only one loop for large trailers and RVs. Many tents were set up in this loop. It should be for Large campers only. The party next to us had their tent entered and a wallet was stolen. This is not good.

We stayed in the secluded H loop and it was wonderful. The toilets were serviced with TP and were pretty decent at all times (had read bad reviews on toilets only a few weeks before my visit). The river running through the campsite is really nice, still cold in late August! Camp host was fine. They came around selling firewood at night. It was also easy to get a second car permit on the fly, which was a relief.

We love camping in that area and have a good time. Go to Rainier Park and see some of the most beautiful places on the planet.

Camp ground was clean, the RR was well stocked and didn’t smell too bad. We were really close to the Blue Hole which was amazing. The ground was flat and not much gravel which made sleeping easy. The ground is a bit hard, broke 2 tent stakes.. We didn’t have a view at our camp site but the river was just behind us. Only downside is you have to wait to buy firewood. They open 5-7 pm. 1 bundle of wood lasted us about an hour or so.. we ended up going back and buying 3 more bundles for our 1 night stay (we used the last bundle in the morning as it was cold). The trash bin wasn’t far nor was the RR. Loved our stay.
