> We camped on a weekday, so we had the place to ourselves. We stayed at the Rainier site, which had a great view of her. Having a bathroom with running water was awesome loved that amenity. The animals on the surrounding farms were so calming. Overall, it was a really quiet area and we didn’t hear a peep
