Such a great space. Very flat and well maintained. We’ve camped here a few times and it’s alway so quiet and peaceful. Plenty of space between neighbors and so close to all the local shops and breweries.

Great Rainier Base Camp
40 ft travel trailer · With kids ·
Private RV parking @ Mt Rainier
Great spot only 15 minutes from Mt Rainier and about an hour from Paradise Visitors Center. The camp spot is nestled in a small cul-de-sac with a few cabins around and generally quiet. We heard the occasional 4x4 cruising the roads which is pretty common given the amount of trail riding options down the road. Highly recommend if your looking for a convenient location to the park while enjoying the luxury of full hook ups.

Nice clean and fairly private spot in the shade. Great hookups. We didn't use the firepit or the covered picnic table area, but they both looked nice. The pack your trash out was a first for us. We camped there five nights and cook in our trailer, so keeping a couple days worth of trash inside was not ideal. I asked for suggestions and was told perhaps gas stations was a solution. I did not feel comfortable putting household trash in any business locations. We drove 35 minutes to the closest landfill station, and they had a $20 minimum. I might have made a different decision knowing this. I also felt the price was just a little on the high side. Otherwise, timely responses and a clean and shady location worked well for us.

We spent 4 days at the site and enjoyed it. Our dogs were able to be outside with us off leash to just hangout, and that was nice. I would recommend staying there. There is a rental cabin next door, but there was enough trees to provide privacy, so was not an issue for us. Additionally, the host provided excellent communication, so the site was easy to find. Thank you, Brandon.

The spot was clean and very peaceful. The picnic area was nice and the fire pit was great. We were able to fit a 43 ft 5th wheel without much trouble but backing out was a little tricky.

Excellent campsite close to Mt. Ranier and Packwood. The site is private and spacious. Could easily accommodate two RVs and a couple of tents really. One of the best!

Had everything we needed and lots of shade. Such a big space. Our children enjoyed playing and running around the site. Had all the hookups and a nice fire pit. The table with the hanging lights was a nice extra touch.

Nice spot for a quick weekend getaway. The full hookups are nice and host was very responsive when we had a minor issue at arrival. The covered picnic table was a really great feature. When the wind picked up or there was a slight drizzle/rain, it was a nice way to be protected and enjoy the space. The overall lot was large enough for our travel trailer, f250 and the kids to play. We to set up cornhole, had soccer balls and a nerf football to pass the time. There are also hikes nearby (though in spring you either need to prepare for hiking in snow in Rainier or driver further out (45 min for us) to Gifford Pinochet National Forest. While you are amongst the trees, I wouldn’t say we were surrounded. My kiddos had a strong desire to explore the woods but it wasn’t clear where this property line ended and another started, so we proceeded with caution. Overall it was a good experience for us as first timers using Hipcamp and would recommend for others for a quick getaway.

Private RV parking @ Mt Rainier
We stayed here with our 22 foot travel trailer. I would recommend backing into the site as others have stated, as pulling straight in can limit you options for positioning. I made this mistake which made it quiet tricky as I had to back myself out. The small shed over the picnic table was such an excellent addition to this site to give my dogs a place to dry off before coming back in the trailer. Having water, electric AND sewer at a Hipcamp site was particularly impressive even though we didn’t use the sewer. The site in general was very well maintained and I think it’s a perfect site as a base camp for exploring further into the area or as a good starting spot for a BDR adventure

Seasonal Camp with a campsite
20 ft campervan · With pets ·
Private RV parking @ Mt Rainier
The things we liked best were “no leash” for our dog and no neighbors next to us. We stayed 3 nights, & w/ each day we liked it better! Hikes with our dog were great as we walked the dead end road. The local herd of about 20 elk left us amazed as we watched them fearlessly cross the road. Dinner on the porch was lovely. We didn’t use the fire pit or horse shoes. On the down side, this is a SEASONAL camp. It is not fancy, and basically you are renting the front yard in a wooded setting.

Overall we had a great experience! We loved how the fire pit was in a little woods area. My only complaint is there are neighbors and unfortunately while we were there, the cabin next to us had a very loud car that he would start really early in the morning and wake us up. It's a nice area for base camp for mount rainier and the little town has some good restaurants.

Beautiful site in the trees. Quiet and peaceful, but not far from town. We camped with a 25 1/2 ft class C. The entry and exit were a bit uneven with some rocks and a stump that could be problematic. Be alert!

We loved the peace and quiet we found at Brandon's property! Our stay was very comfortable, hookups were easily accessible, and our doggos had plenty to sniff and explore. The lights around the picnic table and the porch swing were nice additions to the area. We were only 30 minutes from Rainier's Paradise entrance, 5 minutes from Packwood for food and groceries, and a short drive away to a trail along the river so our dogs could swim. We would definitely stay again!

Brandon’s land has all the basecamp amenities you would ask for. FHU is always good to have. Trees shade the space cool enough in the day. Big private space for the dogs to roam around (no fence tho). Quiet surroundings even with neighbors. Closeness to Mt. Rainier is the main reason we chose the place to stay. We would stay here again when we revisit Rainier.

Great getaway near Mt. Rainier

Private RV parking @ Mt Rainier
Spent a couple nights at Brandon’s spot in early August and had a great time! We picked it because it’s only a 20 minute drive to Mt Rainier’s Stevens Canyon entrance and provided full hookup. We had to back in with our 27 ft trailer which was a bit tricky but manageable. Unfortunately there was a fire ban in the area so couldn’t use the great fire pit but all the other amenities were great. We spotted a few people near us in neighboring cabins & RVs but it still felt private enough. Brandon was very communicative and helpful answering questions. Would recommend!

Brandon's spot was fantastic! Really great location in Packwood, WA. Just a few minutes drive to town for coffee and groceries, but still feel like you are out in the wilderness. We even saw a fox take down a rabbit on our street! The complete nature experience. Short drive to Mt Ranier. Full rv hookups were perfect and the dogs loved being able to be off leash. I think they actually might have enjoyed it more than us. Will definitely be staying here again.

Great basecamp spot
22 ft travel trailer · With pets ·
Private RV parking @ Mt Rainier
Overall this was a great basecamp for us. We shouldn't have chosen 4th of july. No description needed ;-)Also the first sentence in the description for the site says, "If you are looking for an uncrowded, truly private". Not sure if that's honest. There are houses on each side and campers across in front of you. There were people at all of them..and you are basically in a neighborhood..so not private. There were people walking around the other houses, and some were having a campfire next door. I was looking for the "out in the woods as described, and truly private" because my partner and I both play woodwind instruments and couldn't play some things we had planned because of the closeness..but, the hookups, including, sewer, electric and water was a great plus. Nice table area to talk, play games or eat which has a cover and lighting, nice touch. There is a nice firepit, and porch swing close by, also nice touch. There were excellent hiking opportunities all around which we took advantage of daily, along with never ending day trip opportunities and Rainier close by as well. If you camper is longer than 22 ft, back in, pretty tight to turn around. Also, be aware of a large rock in the drive coming out and a stump sticking up that could pop a tire if not careful. Town is close..so eating out, saturday market, awesome brewery, gas station, coffee stands and a small market were available. Also, a mexican cafe 3 miles west of town has the only breakafast in the area, really good.

Location was very quiet. Great place to use as a base camp. We have a 45 ft truck/trailer unit and did drive thru with some realigning of trailer but ended up backing in. This allowed us to get the morning sun. We could of used the location to drive to St Helens thru Randle but the roads were not open. We did High Rock and the Cora Lake Trails. Great views.
