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.

Campsites have plenty of room, although there were some in initial parking difficulties with Day Use people parking outside of spots in the B Loop. Lots of hiking in the area including the Silver Falls Loop from the campground

This campground is lovely and the rangers available for questions were great. It is not too far to drive to Paradise. A bit of a drive to Sunrise but totally worth it! Quiet, treed, with clean bathrooms. Loved it!

Beautiful and clean campsite. Very nice and helpful rangers. And close by hikes are amazing. Silver falls hike and the hikes around the reflection and Louise lakes were very nice.
A short drive to packwood is convenient to get fuel, food and firewood.
