Near Mount Rainier National Park

Within a 30-minute drive from the Nisqually Entrance.

Welcome to Rainier Roadside RV, the ideal base camp for visiting Mt. Rainier! The closest RV site to Rainier's Nisqually entrance and a two minute drive to the gate! Beat the morning rush and be first into the park. Site amenities include a covered pavilion for afternoon picnics, a central fire pit area, electrical connections, and trash bin. This desirable location is both close to the entrance but also the road. During the busy season the line for the Nisqually entrance can back up over three miles long. This campsite is close to the park and less than a mile to the gate. This mean a couple things: You can be the first in line in the mornings, but traffic also backs up past the campsite starting around 8 am (see picture of road proximity from Google Earth for reference). The road traffic dies down in the evenings, as visitors tend to leave the park before dark. When you're not in the park check out the local sites including The Elbe Outdoor Shooting Range, Nisqually River (387th Ave Ct E), Ice cream at Elbe Junction or the Wildberry Restaurant across the street, just a stroll away! I appreciate feedback and reviews, I'm always trying to make the experience better!Welcome to Rainier Roadside RV, the ideal base camp for visiting Mt. Rainier!

Rainier Roadside RV

Was a little confused finding it off the side of the road but it was good! Loved the picnic tables and the fire place!

Lovely little spot!

This spot was perfect! Right in the town of Ashford before the park entrance which was extremely nice! I was serenaded by owls during the night- it was quite lovely. I do wish I had time to utilize the great fire pit and pavilion though. Had breakfast in town before I hiked up near Rainer. Would recommend!

Camping on Cameron's land went very smooth. The gate was open when we arrived and it was easy to find off the road. We were able to level our camper quickly. There was a very nice fire pit.

Close to SW Rainier entrance

We didn’t arrive until after 9pm & we were out early the next day! Not a ton of time actually spent hanging around the spot. We chose to visit Rainier only days after the campsites within the park closed, and this was the closets and most adorable option!

Convenient spot!

Great spot right off the roadway. Easy to find and super close to the Nisqually entrance of Mt. Rainier NP. Clean porta potty, fire pit, picnic shelter and even electricity. We highly recommend you plan to have a meal at wild berry restaurant across the street. We were a little worried about noise when we first arrived, but they aren't open late.
