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.

As always another wonderful camping trip. Beautiful, peaceful and so relaxing. Is was sad to see so many campsites not be able to be used at this time. Hiked with my grandson up to Silver Falls. We are already planning a longer hike next year!!!

We camped in Loop A. We had room for our family of five. Restrooms were clean. Campground was quiet. We appreciated the firewood delivery and the kid-friendly hikes and locale.

Lovely campground - best of show on our four-week trip. Helpful rangers, excellent hiking. Lots of traffic through the campground during the day as visitors sought day-use parking. Otherwise, great!

We took the hot springs loop trail with our handicapped son using a three wheel mobility stroller. The loop was very challenging, with steep portions, roots and steps. I would not consider this an ADA trail. The camping area was well maintained, clean and very scenic.

Site was very well maintained. Restrooms were clean. All ranger led activities were cancelled but park rangers were proving all information to visitors.

Great campground, quiet and clean. Lots if close proximity hiking if you don’t want to get in the car, otherwise Paradise and Sunrise are both very close.
