Great camp and our group throughly enjoyed our caming at Cougar Rock. Only one thing is the paper towel in the restroom went out on the first evening, so early.

Great campground for groups! More than enough space and was a great experience

@KimberlyS97588 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #F5

This was one of the smaller group campsites but still great. Cant wait to go back again! Definitely worth setting an alarm and waking up at 7am to book!

I love this area in Cougar Rock. I've stayed in the group campsites 4 times now. We were able to fit 3 big family tents here. The fire pits (3) were kind of in an awkward position and would be my only complaint, but we made it work.

Very cool campsite water toilet available. We booked the group camp plenty of space. Tons of wood from fallen trees no need to bring firewood. Must see: paradise skyline trail golden trail mrytle fall Christina fall snow lake reflection lake. Avoid Friday entrance a mile long we camped Tue to Fri will highly recommend avoid weekend

Great place! Love everything about cougar rock group site. Except directly next to us was a group of 4 Ripken. Group sites are for 12 or more. We could have used the site and tried to reserve it, but they had it reserved. Not sure how to resolve this or if nps even cares. But this was not cool on their part.

This reservation system is terrible and a pain to use. The Rainier website and history tells us we can make group site reservations 1 year in advance, but this lame system does not allow that. Further, since this reservation system only allows 60 days in advance (or whatever the number is) you end up having to book the entire week of the dates you actually want in order to get the later days, with the intent of booking more days than needed up front and cancelling those you don't need at the start of period. For over decade we could simply call Cougar Rock and reserve dates, but no more. Now, calling the campground has rangers telling us to call recreation.gov for more info, and the people we reach there tell us to call the campground to get more info. Lame and lamer. Everything in life isn't made better by computers or a lack of human contact.

The group site at Cougar Rock was amazing! This was our first time booking one and we loved having all of our group in one site with plenty of space among ourselves and multiple picnic tables, a restroom close by, and lots of room for the kids to play too. We are planning to stay here again next year!

The campsite is quiet and clean, with enough space for at least 8 tents, and also it’s the perfect location to go star watch on skyline tail at night.

The group camp was wonderful. It was set off by itself. There were 3 or 4 tent sites that were flat. 5 cars could be parked there. Nice fire pit and lots of places to hang a hammock. Close to the paradise side of the mountain. Loved it and well worth the price.

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!!!
