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

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.

Wonderful campground near Rainier and Packwood with significant historical plaques. Two plaques honoring founders of Taxol and establishment of Gifford Pinchot are a short walk within the campground. A wonderful river runs through the campground - but water shoes are necessary for all the rocks. Very quiet for sleeping hours. One tree in our campsite was 8 ft diameter. We’ll be back! Thank you GF - Our fav national forest!
