This location is only a mile away from the Mount Rainier National Park entrance. There is usually traffic going towards the National Park on weekends during peak season (July-August), so we encourage everyone to leave the site by 9 am during those days if you are planning on heading into the park. There is a full service restaurant (WildBerry Restaurant) that offers both traditional American and select few Nepalese dishes right next to the camping site. There are also more restaurants, gas station, and a grocery store about 5 miles from the location. You may see some elk and deers on the property if you get lucky.

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.

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.

spacious & private farm field site, blackberries in abundance, friendly sheep, cutest frenchies ever, warmly greeted and toured around by hosts - was a great place to land for the last night of our road trip. we recommend ear plugs tho, as we could hear neighbours havin' a time into the night and due to the nature of a field, sound carries far. the kitchen was fully stocked, hot showers, wifi- good value! thanks for having us :)

We absolutely loved camping here. We could not find one negative thing to put in this review. Had an absolute blast. From how scenic, to the nature sounds with the creek that runs through the property, to the birds and owls howling. It was exactly what we were looking for. Close to all the activities we wanted, paddle boarding the lakes, endless hiking trails and of course visiting Mt. Rainier! Fell asleep every night to the waterfall creek right next to our tent. We will be back at this location soon and this time around take the kids with us. Also met the owner Jeff, extremely nice guy and can tell he wants the best experience for the people staying there.. you can tell he has put a lot of work into the campground and excited for his future plans. 10/10, 5 stars all the way!

Lovely site. Next to the meadow so understandably quite a few bees but they were all rather friendly. Very clean outhouse- it’s rustic but very clean. You will have orientation when you get to site. Great firewood in a big bin for $25 but it took more than a few hours to get the wood delivered. Very friendly hosts! Strict check in times (don’t come after 8pm- but they give you ample warning) but at the same time we had a slow last day packing up and they weren’t rushing us out of the site. Great weekend and definitely felt like a getaway camp spot. Be prepared for zero cell service- which is not a bad thing!

Amazing campground and property. I had such a good time and it is my favorite camp ever. I have camped at state parks all my life, and rarely backpacked. It’s clean, creek is nice, and camp spots have some privacy, but still open. It’s close enough to home, but still far enough to experience a couple nights of fresh air sleeping on the ground.

I stayed here for just one night with a friend to end off a long camping road trip and it was the perfect last stop! Jenel and Khohay weren’t there to greet us due to prior plans but communicated very promptly ahead of time and sent us great videos welcoming us to the property.
The property is very quaint and beautiful and we had a great time exploring, looking at the thriving garden, and meeting all the farm animals. The communal kitchen and bathroom area was very convenient and well-kept. There was even some sports equipment available for us to use (soccer, basketball, badminton, volleyball, frisbee) and it was a great time.
Our tent camping area was private and had a great view of the whole property and was adjacent to the creek with delicious ripe blackberries. I highly recommend this stay to anyone in the area and will definitely be back myself!

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.
