Ohanapecosh Campground

We had prepared our eager 7&10 year olds for an educational, interactive Ntl. park experience similar to ours in the past. We expected presentations by rangers, group hikes, etc. but the ampitheater was deconstructed and there were no evening activities. The falls loop was a great hike for families with kids leaving from the campground. The facilities were getting run down, one bathroom was closed due to a broken septic pipe and the backup bathroom had a leaky sink pipe with an overflowing 5 gal bucket catching the drips. Bathrooms were unclean and smelled strong. Firewood was overpriced ($7 for 4-5 small pieces). Beautiful, quiet and cool on a hot day under old growth trees.

Beautiful campsite near the river. Only downside was the numbskulls playing loud music… sigh.

We really like the campground. The rest rooms were clean and well-maintained.

I needed to cancel my 2 night reservation within a day of arrival. It was impossible to figure out how to cancel via the website and when I searched for the ranger station's phone number, Google listed the incorrect phone number and I was never able to get in touch to cancel my site. Sadly, this probably meant at least one night this site went used. Hopefully someone was able to use it the second night of our reservation as demand for camping is high.
Please include the ranger station's phone number on the email confirmation sent a few days before arrival.

The beautiful setting with the huge trees and the color of the Ohanapecosh River are very relaxing. There are plenty of trails to wander on and nearby Mt. Rainier National Park to visit. Well used park as it has been used for 100 yrs or so.

Huge campground near the Ohanapecosh River in Mount Rainier National Park. There are several trail options that start from the campground and all are great for families. You can visit the little hot springs (these are not big enough to bathe in) to enjoy the colors and flowers and the gorgeous Silver Falls is just about a mile from the campground visitor center. The rangers are super fun and helpful, the bathrooms are very well maintained and we always have a great time while we're there!

I find it totally unacceptable that all of G loop, along with several campsites closed due to hazardous trees. The tree access ent needs to be done, completely, then immediately those effected trees need to be cut down to eliminate site closures!! In add, the limbs need to be chipped up. Limbs all over make the campground look very raty and unkept.
When a person logs in to make a reservation, as soon as he starts to enter data on a site, that site should be locked up for him to complete his entry. When I started to make mine , as it was shown to be available, before I could finish someone else was given the site. That is totally unfair. I lost the site because I can’t type and have to peck.

Great site overlooking the river. Was able to fit one 4 person tent with room remaining. A short walk to the bathrooms. This site has no neighbors on either side just across from it.

Quiet, incredibly beautiful campground. The 3 mile hike to Silver Falls is easy and amazing.

Loved our campsite here! We were in F14, and had plenty of room for our 28’ Class C and our car!
Did several hikes from the CG, and they were awesome…the loop hike to the Falls was awesome!
Also went up to Sunrise…the snow was still heavy on July 2nd, so I didn’t get to do the hikes to Frozen Lake and up on the Ridge, but I loved my time at this CG!
