11mi from Mount Rainier National Park · 2 sites
Closest to the Paradise entrance to Mount Rainier National Park, our property is located in the rustic Nisqually Park Subdivision offering the perfect way to experience the Pacific Northwest.
We chose to keep things off-grid, private (All to yourself!), and low-impact. We supply what you need to make your trip one to remember! Including; a furnished Geodesic Dome, complete with luxury queen mattress (Don't forget to bring your own bedding!), solar electricity to power and charge your devices, WiFi, a picnic table, fire pit area, and most importantly, fresh mountain air. Guests have access to a well-maintained, private porta-potty, and we kindly ask that all campers follow Leave No Trace principles. It’s how we protect this land for everyone who comes after.
Whether you’re hiking the Wonderland Trail, chasing wildflowers, or simply watching the sunset through the trees, we hope we become your basecamp for all your mountain memories.
We’re glad you’re here.
NOTE: Photos of the Geodesic dome are currently AI-Generated. We are currently in the process of installing the dome and will update with actual photos beginning in May. Our goal is to make the Dome better than the photos, but want guests to be fully aware.

This is a beautiful spot, tucked in the trees and with the sound of the creek in the background.
RV spot is gravel, level, and there is electricity and water. There is also sewer dump available; we didn't use it since we were just there for the weekend and spent most of our time skiing up at White Pass. But the point is, this spot is well set up for longer term stays.

This cabin is peaceful. It had everything we needed for comfort. It is maintained with thoughtfulness. The cabin is clean and stocked with supplies making it easy to care for while there. The weather was very cold (26 to 38 degrees) as expected and we stayed toasty,
The roads are well maintained and the mountain spectacular.
We will come back when we can spend more time outside enjoying the grounds and exploring.
This was a fabulous place to retreat and spend time with friends.
Our dog was so happy, she is part husky and was in her element outside. She loved it. We all did.

Private tucked away paradise. Dry camping at its finest. Beautiful scenery and extremely helpful owners who are fast to reply and eager to assist. We will definitely be returning. Best dry camping experience we’ve ever had!!!!!

Overview
About
Have you ever wanted to walk on a glacier covering an active volcano? You're in luck, this is most glaciated peak in the lower 48 states.
Maybe you'll want to explore wildflowers in the spring or hike to a waterfall. Cyclists can challenge themselves with rides that gain almost 4,000 feet in elevation.
Prefer to hike? You've got 260 miles of trails (all levels) to choose from—so get started! If you want to actually climb the mountain (14,410 feet!), you'll need a permit plus ice-climbing gear. Fishing isn't great here, so leave the poles at home—But bring your kayak or canoe to explore Mowich Lake.
The historic National Park Inn is open year-round, and Paradise Inn accepts guests spring through fall. You say you'd rather camp? (We would, too!) Hook up your RV at 3 separate campgrounds, or hike into the primitive tent campsites at Mowich Lake Campground.
When to go
The best time to visit Mount Rainier National Park is during the summer months when the weather is mild and the roads are clear. However, the park's beauty transforms with each season, offering unique experiences year-round. Winter visits can be magical, but come prepared for road closures and heavy snowfall.
Know before you go
- Always check the current road status and weather conditions before planning your visit to ensure accessibility.
- Carry tire chains in your vehicle from November 1 to May 1, as they are mandatory within the park during this period.
- Visitor centers and facilities have varying operating hours; confirm these times to make the most of your trip.
- Accessibility is a priority at Mount Rainier; learn about the park's efforts to accommodate all visitors.
- For your safety, familiarize yourself with winter hazards such as avalanches if you're visiting in the colder months.

100% Recommend the Wonderland trail. A light 100 or so mile trail that takes a few days to hike. Absolutely life changing.

Mount Rainier 🌲🌧️🏔️
Stayed at a cabin for the first week here and then camped at base camp for another half a week - it gets rainy quite often but the views are amazing from the mountaintop and there are plenty of hikes to go on!

Loved the summer flowers in bloom when we were there in August. We camped one night and got to the park early morning the following day to beat the crowds for parking in Paradise.
