RV camping in Mount Rainier

Name: Mount Rainier
Address: Camping
Rating: 4.71

Just a short drive from Seattle, Mount Rainier offers springtime wildflowers, great hiking, and rock climbing opportunities during the warm summer months. The perpetually snow capped peak is set nearly 15,000 feet above sea level and is particularly popular with ambitious climbers, but there are also plenty of easier hikes for RV campers who want to take it easy. The national park has four campgrounds, three of which allow RVs. These are generally open from May or June until the end of September, and spaces book up quickly. If you want to go RV camping in the area outside of the busy high season or can't find a spot, plenty of privately run alternatives exist, ranging from small, privately owned RV campsites with picnic tables and hookups to larger RV parks with bathrooms, laundry facilities, and playgrounds.

Our rental property was once a mini Rail Road with full size locomotive's, train cars, pumper cars and more. My dad & grandpa layed all the tracks & put together the buildings in the 1970's. Once done my grandma sold tickets to the tourist and my grandpa ran the engine around the 7 acre oval track pulling a train car full of happy tourist through the woods over the train bridge and past the big water tower back to their vehicles so they could finish their journies with a drive to Mt. Rainier. There is a lot of history on this property for our family and we hope by sharing it with others they will be able to experience some fun here as well. Our quiet time is 10pm

The Land: Your Private Forest Sanctuary Spanning five acres of pristine, moss-carpeted forest, this property offers the rare combination of easy accessibility and deep-woods privacy. The landscape is a classic PNW tapestry of ancient ferns, winding footpaths, and open woodland clearings large enough to accommodate everything from a solo tent to a fully equipped overland rig. As the sun dips below the canopy, the forest transforms into a quiet cathedral, broken only by the crackle of your campfire and the distant call of owls. For the Adrenaline Seekers: Elbe Hills Trailhead Engine revving is the heartbeat of this region. Located just minutes from the legendary Elbe Hills State Forest, our property is the ideal staging ground for your ATV and UTV adventures.

For the Water Lovers: Alder Lake's Glacial Beauty When the mountain air warms up, head to the turquoise shores of Alder Lake. Whether you're launching a boat for a day of fishing, paddleboarding across the glass-like glacial water, or sightseeing at Alder Dam, the lake is breathtaking. It's the perfect place to wash off the trail dust and admire the mountain's reflection on the water. For the Explorers: The Gateway to Mount Rainier You're camping in the shadow of the "Great White Mother." A short, scenic drive brings you to the Nisqually Entrance of Mount Rainier National Park.

Why Stay Here? • Prime Location: The perfect base between Elbe, Ashford, and Eatonville. • Space to Breathe: Five acres means you aren't staring at your neighbor's tent. You'll have plenty of room to spread out, park your trailers, and enjoy the silence. • Starry Nights: With minimal light pollution, the night sky puts on a dazzling display of the Milky Way, framed by towering evergreens. Whether you're here to roar through the mud of Elbe Hills, cast a line into Alder Lake, or hike the glacial slopes of Mount Rainier, this is the basecamp you've been looking for. Pack your gear, load the trailers, and come find your wilderness.

Very clean camping near the park entrance. We were impressed with how clean the Honey Bucket was. Hostess was very helpful and responsive. We were in a tent in the RV site because we needed electricity. The RV site is the closest site to the highway, which can get noisy early on the morning. For an RV, shouldn’t be an issue. If you are in a tent, I recommend one of the other tent sites as they are further away and should be quieter. Great spot. We will definitely be back for our next Mt. Rainier trip.
