I would LOVE to give this 4 or 5 stars, as the campsite itself is beautiful and the location is fantastic! HOWEVER, the bathroom situation was **atrocious**. Some vault toilets were locked (like the one by us), and port a potties were there instead. They were FULL....absolutely disgusting. I asked the camp host about this and he had no idea when they would be emptied. It didn't seem like there was any regular schedule to having them cleaned. I don't know if that was his responsibility as the host, or the management company's of the campsite. Either way, for a heavily populated campsite, (which I'm sure it normally is regardless of COVID), it just didn't make sense.
The campsites were fairly big for the most part, with the exception of ours (C17). Fortunately we were able to move sites, but we had to pay (couldn't transfer the reservations per management). Still worth it to trade. River access was nice, and the proximity to Rainier is great. Again, a great campsite with the exception of the bathrooms. I hope they get that issue resolved!

This campground is one of my favorites - huge trees, lots of shade, and at the cross section of several rivers. Such fun times have been had here! It's also very close to Rainier, and all the trails the Park has to offer. I instantly booked another trip as soon as we returned. Tips: bring 98% deet (for biting bugs) and a good, camping attitude.

Lovely campground with spacious sites and sound of the Ohanapecosh river along side our loop. We had a peaceful stay and recommend this campground if you dont mind driving a few miles outside the park boundary.

The campground is beautiful. The hikes are glorious. This is the perfect campground, except the campground host Stephanie. She lacks basic communication skills, let alone the skills needed to be in this position. Unable to manage a simple conflict, she escalated a nonsituation into a huge event, one she concluded by standing in our camp telling us that "people like you need to find somewhere else". People like you, still isn't clear if she meant disabled or LGBTQ, either way its gross and unacceptable. I would absolutely go back, but not if she was working. We ended up leaving two days early .

Love this campground. Managed to get a great spot right along the river (D loop is great!). Very close to Ohanapecosh and not far to the Naches Peak loop hike. So many great places to explore if you make this your base! The pit toilets weren’t great when we arrived - some pretty full and messy. The port-a-pits close to our site were really full. However, the next day was apparently septic day and and toilets were clean and empty! Also it was unclear when check out/check in was - different times were listed at the campground vs. the online reservation info
