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 Ultimate PNW Basecamp: Elbe Hills Base Camp! 5 Acres of Rugged Serenity Near Rainier
Escape to your own private slice of the Pacific Northwest. Tucked away on five lush, secluded acres, this Hipcamp site serves as the ultimate high-octane basecamp for adrenaline junkies and the perfect quiet retreat for nature lovers alike. Surrounded by towering Douglas firs and the scent of wild cedar, you're perfectly positioned at the intersection of Washington's greatest adventures.
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. Spend your day conquering rugged trails, navigating technical rock crawls, and splashing through the famous Elbe mud. After a day of dirt and grit, skip the crowded staging areas and retreat to your private campsite to work on your machines or swap stories around the fire.
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. From the ancient giants of the Grove of the Patriarchs to the wildflower-strewn alpine meadows of Paradise, the hiking opportunities are endless. Return from a day on the trails to the peace and privacy of your five-acre retreat, far from the crowds and park traffic.
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.

John was an exceptionally kind host - he was flexible when we arrived later than expected and still diligently showed us around the space. He also was generous in sharing all elements of his space and any needs that may have arisen. John also shared recommendations for hiking Mount Rainier. His property was beautiful with creeks, mossy trees, and artful additions. Each camp site was secluded and unique from the others. We would love to come back to take in more of the space!

The site itself is beautiful. The pond provides wonderful white noise, and hearing the creek running nearby was so peaceful.

Notable campgrounds
- Best for a wilderness experience: Mowich Lake
- Best for old growth trees: Ohanapecosh
- Best for groups: Cougar Rock
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Though RVs are allowed to park at Cougar Rock, Ohanapecosh, and White River campgrounds, they have no electrical, water, or grey water hookups.
- Each campsite is limited to a maximum of two vehicles, two tents, and/or six campers. Most campsites are big enough for only one tent and up to four people.
- Campsites at Cougar Rock, Ohanapecosh, and White River campgrounds can all be booked in advance online, with availability opening on a six-month rolling basis. The sites at Mowich Lake are available only on a first-come, first-served basis
When to go
Mount Rainier National Park is open year-round, though heavy winter snow typically closes all but the Nisqually Entrance. At this time, roads at higher elevations may be closed or require snow chains or winter tires to access. July and August are busy times, when popular parking lots and entrances come with long waits. Aim for a mid-week visit, or go during the late spring or early fall to beat the crowds.
Know before you go
- The visitor center at the Longmire Museum is open year-round, while the Henry M. Jackson Memorial Visitor Center at Paradise closes on winter weekdays. The Ohanapecosh Visitor Center and Sunrise Visitor Center are open in summer.
- When making a summer visit, try to arrive early (before 10am) or later in the day (after 2:30pm) to avoid peak crowds and wait times.
- Concessions are sold at Longmire, Paradise, and Sunrise. You can also stock up in the nearby towns of Ashford and Packwood.
- Cell service is unreliable in Mount Rainier National Park, but there is wifi in the Jackson Visitor Center at Paradise.
