Gorgeous Spot on the Carbon River
We loved this spot! We booked the whole place out for a camping family reunion, and everyone had a blast.
The river is gorgeous, and great for relaxing on a hot day, rock hounding or building sand castles. All the camp spots are level, so great for car camping. And there are fire pits all along the river.
Lots to do nearby! Beautiful parks, hiking trails and farmers markets are within 10 minutes drive. Mt Rainier National Park and Northwest Trek are within a half hour. Restaurants in town are fantastic (try the chicken and waffles at Tim's Kitchen).
Renee was a gracious host, and she checked on us a couple times a day. She also was kind enough to join us for dinner on our last night!
My entire family would absolutely recommend this spot. That said, there were a couple surprises that required some workarounds.
The property is currently under construction to convert into a wedding venue, which we learned on arrival. This was fine for us! We just moved the BBQ portion of the reunion to a nearby park to accommodate grandparents with mobility issues.
There are lots of free roaming dogs. They are wonderful, and you will fall in love! Bon, the pug, will cuddle and kiss and talk to you all day and night! As cute as they are, they are reactive to unfamiliar animals. So DO NOT bring your pets. I have an ESA that I depend on, and thankfully, Pat told me to board him out of an abundance of caution. His dogs were a great substitute.
Overall 5000/10. Highly recommend

This place was awesome! Very laid back and relaxing with some fun walks along the river. The host was really nice and accommodating. I would highly recommend visiting.

Uncomplicated Solo Camping trip
Loved the layout of the different camping spots with fire pits. I had a great spot by the river. Plenty of wood for my enjoyment. Friendly host. Camp is close enough to Mt Rainier and other small towns to go on day adventures. River sound cancels out nearby road noise so I got plenty of sleep.

We loved the tent camping just by the side of the water. Pat accommodated us well and its definitely recommended.

this was such a disappointment we did not even start here.
entrance is not well mark. it's literally someone's backyard. the "sites" are on the berm above the river and not well tended. a couple of them actually looked like they were for storage
