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.

Great campground in a beautiful forest with lots of very large trees, near the river, and large campsites. Most sites had good spacing and privacy. Very quiet!

This is just a wonderful park. Very quiet and peaceful. The most noise you will hear is the river flowing through the center of the park. Thank you to all the rangers who keep the grounds so pristine.

We really enjoyed our lakeside spacious campground at Ohanapecosh. We had ample shade and a nice walking area throughout the campground. The ranger station nearby provided ample information and a nice walking path behind it to a hot water spring. The restrooms were clean and easy to access. Water was clean and potable at this and all of the national Park campgrounds we visited this trip. We enjoyed going to nearby Paradise Lodge to hike Skyline Hike on Mount Rainier with great views of the mountains and lots of nature.

Great little campground with friendly rangers.

A4 was a fantastic spot, tucked away by a small stream. Spacious, pretty flat, and not too far from restrooms. Lucked out.

Disappointed to see 4 campfires roaring around us despite the fire ban, but there was no one around to enforce.

Yearly visitor here, we enjoy the river and just hanging out at our campsite. We end up picking a nearby hike such as silver falls, grove of the patriarchs, or a little drive up to the naches peak loop or the sunrise area.

Great campground! Really big but we didn’t feel too close to other sites. It’s a fairly easy hike to silver falls from the campground, and it’s well worth it! Gorgeous area.
