I was struggling to find a place near Mt Rainier over 4th of July wknd, and ended up booking this place instead. I'm so glad I did, the drive up was absolutely gorgeous. The campground location was beautiful and peaceful, right on the water, with tons of oysters and clams along the shoreline. I went for a swim and there were several sea lions and two bald eagles near the pier!
Hoodsport was very busy, with tons of people. But the grocery store was fully stocked, and they have a few cute shops and restaurants.
The property itself was well-kept, nice bathrooms and showers and even has a hot tub and laundry. Despite it's small size, and tight camp spots (very close together), it never felt overly crowded. The lobby was gorgeous with a nice sitting area, games and a fireplace.
It ended up being a great central spot—about halfway between Mount Rainier and Seattle, and not too far from the Staircase entrance to Olympic National Park. I loved my time here and would definitely stay again!
