About Ohanapecosh Campground

Ohanapecosh Campground, on the southeast side of Mount Rainier National Park, is surrounded by old growth forest and crossed by an exceptionally beautiful snow-fed river. Close to Ohanapecosh are popular hikes to Silver Falls. The Grove of the Patriarchs trail is closed to public access until the bridge accessing the Grove is replaced. The main attraction at Mount Rainier National Park is the mountain itself, a glacier-clad volcano of immense proportions. At 14,411 ft., it dominates the skyline for hundreds of miles. Visitors travel through majestic old-growth forests, past tumbling waterfalls and historic buildings to reach sub-alpine meadows, where world-famous wildflower displays are seen in July and August. Popular activities in the park include sight-seeing, hiking, climbing and camping. Ohanapecosh campground has an elevation of 1,914 feet. Weather is dry, cool and sunny in the summer with daytime temperatures in the 60 to 80-degree range. Even though the eastern side of the park can be sunnier than other areas, weather can be variable and visitors should come prepared.

What Guests Are Saying

Ohanapecosh Campground is celebrated for its beautiful setting, large and well-maintained sites, and friendly staff, making it an ideal base for exploring Mount Rainier. Many visitors appreciated the quiet atmosphere, clean facilities, and close access to trails like the Silver Falls loop, which features stunning natural scenery. Some drawbacks included issues with campsite privacy and the need for improved communication regarding timed entry passes due to limited cell service; however, the overall experience remains positive for most campers.

Lots of mosquitoes and bugs! Probably because a river is nearby. Bears frequent the campground - keep stuff in bear-box! Can't get down to the river - steep cliffs! Bummer!

The Geology patio talk by Ranger Tom was a highlight for my kids, as were the jr ranger activities. Nice location within the park, clean family friendly campground, great places to hike and play without having to get back in the car.

While I liked the campsite, area for text was about 15 feet from other campsites fire pit. Had a nice creek behind the site. Because it was so close to other campsite, I just slept in a hammock by the creek. Worked out well. Good site for tents, not sure about level ness for an RV

Very family friendly, individual bear boxes at site. Access to river for wading or swimming. Site E016 is not properly mapped. It is right next to bathroom, very close to site E015 which is also on the same inner loop.

Arrived on a Tuesday at 10:30 am and was assigned A-44 for a first come, first serve site. Site A-44 was a wonderful site with room for my pop up trailer, room for at least two tents and trees for hammocks! Many other FF sites available but campground filled by the end of the week.

A very beautiful place - but of course, it's Mt. Rainier National Park.
The staff were friendly and helpful in the visitor center - which is very interesting on its own. For hikers, there are many beautiful trails, nicely groomed and for any level of hikers. The campsites were clean and enough space for our needs. As were are older people (but we tent camped on the ground), restrooms were conveniently placed, cleaned daily with running water. Just outside were hose bibs with clean, cold potable water.

Considering the "pay-for-everything" dynamic of today, $20/per night wasn't bad. My only less-than-satisfactory item was access to the river. In my younger years, I could've bounded down the hillside - but not at 68. Haha.

All in all, it was a great experience as I took my wife (from Ukraine) camping for the first time in her life. She loved it and adapted as if she had done this her entire life. I would recommend this campground. Larger RVs will be difficult to navigate in some spots, but there are adequate spots for them.
