Nomadic camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

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!

The campsite's charm lies in its unbeatable proximity to Mount Rainier National Park, making it a favorite for nature lovers eager to explore the park's wonders. Guests appreciate the ease of access and the convenience of having restaurants nearby, like the popular Wildberry restaurant. However, being right off the main road means some road noise, which might disrupt the tranquility for those seeking complete seclusion. Overall, it's a practical choice for those prioritizing location and a quick park entry over luxurious amenities.

Great Staging Spot for Mt Rainier

Rainier Roadside RV

Perfect spot for exploring Mt Rainer NP and surrounding area. Site was clean, reasonably private and well appointed (covered porch, fire pit and chairs) . It is right off the road, so road noise can be a factor. We visited off season and arrived later in the day, so it wasn’t an issue for us. Will definitely stay again.
