The H loop is for introverts lol. Best loop IMO! There is a lovely trail to the creek from the H22 campsite, and I spent an entire afternoon reading on my camp chair with my feet in the water. Absolutely magical!

So beautiful and I will return the only thing that is not good is people driving through the campground really fast and almost hitting my kid more than once with multiple people and also other kids and not caring that they are playing

Beautiful camp site with good parking space and plenty of room for tents as well as room for tables and cooking. Close to the restroom area and overlooking a small creek. Only a small walk down to the river, day area, and hiking spots. Great weekend spent here!

Beautiful, quiet campsite, with very respectful neighbors. We ended up moving to a first come-first serve site since we didn't realize that H loop didn't have bear lockers for food and cooking equipment, we scored an amazing site right on the river. The bathrooms were all clean and well stocked. My daughter loved walking through the visitor center and the maps to nearby hikes with difficulty ratings was really appreciated. The rangers at the campsite registry office were also super helpful and very friendly. There's Wi-Fi at the visitor center, even after it's closed, so it's really easy to log in and purchase a vehicle reservation for the next day for Paradise or Sunrise when they're available at 7pm. The trail to Silver Falls is accessed from the campground and was an easy, but totally worth it hike with some cute little wooden bridges over laughing creek. Definitely keeping this one in the rotation!

Great camping site. My kids enjoy our stay and the nearby trail going to the Silver falls. Neighborhood site is respectful and quite feels like we owned the whole national park. Kudos!

Really nice campground. New WiFi access at the visitor center is a huge upgrade and really appreciated. I think the first come first serve sites in A loop are the best.

First time staying in Mt. Ranier National Park and decided to try this first come first serve first, not knowing what to expect. Well, this campground exceeded our expectations. Not only were the grounds beautiful with old growth trees, but add in the river and the hiking and the NPS Rangers and employees and you got yourself a fantastic experience! Our site was in Loop A, (the FC, FS sites) close to the restrooms and a hop skip jump to the visitor center where you could use their free WiFi if needed since there’s no cell reception. The rangers were incredibly helpful, access to the park was so close (but you still need timed entry passes) and although no hookups were provided, it was a fantastic stay for us! We are already excited to come back and try some other hikes!
