Welcome to Rainier Roadside RV, the ideal base camp for visiting Mt. Rainier! The closest RV site to Rainier's Nisqually entrance and a two minute drive to the gate! Beat the morning rush and be first into the park. Site amenities include a covered pavilion for afternoon picnics, a central fire pit area, electrical connections, and trash bin. This desirable location is both close to the entrance but also the road. During the busy season the line for the Nisqually entrance can back up over three miles long. This campsite is close to the park and less than a mile to the gate. This mean a couple things: You can be the first in line in the mornings, but traffic also backs up past the campsite starting around 8 am (see picture of road proximity from Google Earth for reference). The road traffic dies down in the evenings, as visitors tend to leave the park before dark. When you're not in the park check out the local sites including The Elbe Outdoor Shooting Range, Nisqually River (387th Ave Ct E), Ice cream at Elbe Junction or the Wildberry Restaurant across the street, just a stroll away! I appreciate feedback and reviews, I'm always trying to make the experience better!Welcome to Rainier Roadside RV, the ideal base camp for visiting Mt. Rainier!

Rainier Roadside RV

Highly Recommend!

Rainier Roadside RV was all about the location! While a little overgrown and confusing to find - it was well worth it to be close to the Rainier entrance. Wildberry restaurant across the street is also a really cool spot for Nepalese food - would definitely recommend!

This site had great space and good shade coverage. It was super close to the park entrance so that was great in the morning.

Close to Mt. Rainier and it was perfect for the night we spent (the day before we headed to Mt. Rainier).

The site was close to the park and 5 mins from coffee/food - but was a bit overgrown. It was hard to walk anywhere near the picnic tables without having to step down weeds.

Was a little confused finding it off the side of the road but it was good! Loved the picnic tables and the fire place!

Lovely little spot!

This spot was perfect! Right in the town of Ashford before the park entrance which was extremely nice! I was serenaded by owls during the night- it was quite lovely. I do wish I had time to utilize the great fire pit and pavilion though. Had breakfast in town before I hiked up near Rainer. Would recommend!
