The campground was very clean, and quiet at night, no biting insects to be seen. I appreciate that even though the campground was quite full, I didn't have to hear any generators or music. It seems like every site around me had a bear box, which was very convenient. It was plenty of space to store my food box, water, and cooler. My tent pad was clean and level, very easy and comfortable. The bathrooms are in good condition. Easy access to walking trails.

The campsite was small, and close to other sites around it leaving little space for privacy. But the site and campground was clean and well maintained. Restrooms were also clean and well maintained. Trails nearby were excellent.

Very clean and peaceful!

We arrived Saturday morning at 9am (9am timed entry) on Labor Day Weekend with little hope that there would be a first-come spot available. We went right to the campground and got the second to last spot available! So lucky! They took credit card payment - $20. Just a heads up - spot A26 is lovely but the light from the bathroom across from it was glaring into our campsite all night (doesn't go off). We parked a car sideways in our site to block out most of the light, but it wasn't ideal. Still, the stars were INCREDIBLE. I can't wait to go back next year - will be trying to reserve ahead this time.

The campground is very conveniently located to access trails and Paradise. Excellent education talks are organized by rangers during weekends. The staff is accommodating and nice. The toilets could be cleaner, but we love coming to this campground and have been doing this for the last three years.

Great campground! We had plenty of trees around our site and it was quiet at night. We hiked to Carter and Madcap Falls from the campground too, and really appreciated the close access to the trailhead just across the street. The ranger talk in the evening was also great. Would stay again! Loved the proximity to Paradise for hiking, too.

wonderful camp site
@HungP1C2E5D4C3 · Camped on Aug 24, 2024 at Campsite #C25
Big spot, short walk to bathroom which were clean, campsite was nice and quiet in the evening. Close to Carter's Falls trail which was nice.
@HungP1C2E5D4C3 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #C37
Bathrooms were clean and near the campsite. Site was permitted for 15ft rig but we had a 19ft rig that fit just right. Close to the next campsite but not overbearing. Quiet a night. Not much more you can ask for.
@EliC69796C7B93 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #E3
Very quiet and wonderful pines. Good hiking nearby.
@JeanyvesPCE09D · Camped on Aug 22, 2024 at Campsite #B1
Great camp host. Beautiful campground and clean restrooms.
@LyleB2458251 · Camped on Aug 22, 2024 at Campsite #C13
Great location, restrooms were clean. We were close to the restrooms so lots of people kept walking through out campsite to get to the restrooms. Trash bins were convenient. Good hiking close by.
@LyleR30767A6FE · Camped on Aug 22, 2024 at Campsite #C28
Lovely campground which has been ignored. A crew needs to come in and clean out all the downed tree debris. Something also needs to change with regards to cancellations, so many unused campsites, so sad for those who are unable to procure a site.
@RomeoD065A2C99 · Camped on Aug 22, 2024 at Campsite #D20
Great camping site. My kids enjoy our stay. Neighborhood site is respectful and quite feels like we owned the whole national park. Kudos!
@AndreaB9BB86A3 · Camped on Aug 21, 2024 at Campsite #D43
Clean bathrooms, good views of Rainier, star gazing. Dishwashing sinks are super helpful. No cell reception. Tent sites are often tiny tiny.
@GregoryG651402 · Camped on Aug 21, 2024 at Campsite #D33
We enjoyed our stay in loop d. The facilities were clean and the campground was quiet. The evening ranger talk was interesting and well planned.
@JANMF6B372C7C1 · Camped on Aug 19, 2024 at Campsite #C5
no views of the mountain from campground, but super short drive to views/Paradise/hiking
@PaulH7895659 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #B13

excellent staff encounter and campground no issues
@VictoriaJC41D2 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #C37
Great campsite and great location. Particularly appreciated the flush toilets and clean rest rooms
@DavidP3257927 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #B6
This is a great campground with an excellent support staff. Considering how heavily it is used, it is amazing that they are able to keep it so clean and the sites so well maintained. Loved our stay.
@KatrinaR78E812 · Camped on Aug 17, 2024 at Campsite #E26
Our campsite was great until it started to rain - all the water pooled under our tent and all around the site so there was nowhere else to move our tent. There wasnt any way to drain the water off, and it was several inches deep by the time we packed up and left. E026 would be great for any trip that doesnt have a forecast for rain.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
