The campsite is an undeveloped plot in a new bougie housing development: brand new houses with snow-covered city cars looking very out of place next to Mt. Rainier. We were not looking for much, just a place to pitch a tent and sleep, and this site provided that.

Katie’s place is so convenient to Ranier National Park. It was a great place to slee for the night. The toilet was clean and fresh. There was running water and electricity. Great spot for semi-primitive camping near Ranier!

overall, we had a great stay at the rainier retreat! this property is perfect to stay at because of its close proximity to mt. rainier, and we definitely took advantage of this. the property was however not as private as expected - it’s nestled in a small community of summer cabins and other similar properties, and there is little barrier between the next door property as well as being right on a road. there was a picnic table, outhouse, and large fire pit for use, and the place was very easy to find by putting the address into google maps. we did have a lovely stay!

Nice private space. Not a lot of grass (mainly gravel) which my dogs didn't love. Quiet. Very close to the park.

Rainier Retreat is super convenient to the Nisqually entrance to Mount Rainier. The neighborhood is quiet and forested with privacy fences between the lots. It felt very safe. The porta-potty was amazingly clean! I'm afraid that any we use in the future won't compare, LOL. There's a shed in back, and we backed our van right up to it on a fairly level spot in the driveway. We set up our kitchen on the picnic table next to it. We're glad we kept our food in the van with us, because we heard "something" snooping around our camp stove in the middle of the night! There are several good tent sites, and we set up our storage tent between the driveway and a fence. They've done a lot of tree clearing, and there's a brush pile near the road. A large, white rabbit is living her best life in there! Kinda hilarious to see! The neighborhood is pretty, and a creek is just around the corner. We saw several other people out walking when we'd walk our dogs. Do carry a good walking stick, at the very least, when walking in an unfamiliar place. A black Lab at one house down the road got away from her owner and meant to do some serious business to our little dogs. Luckily, he caught her before she reached us. I think he was as surprised as we were... We cruised through the crowded campgrounds in the park and saw only scrappy sites leftover. We were very satisfied with our digs at Rainier Retreat and would absolutely stay here again!

This is a great place to stay. The location is perfect and right outside of the national park. You are around other houses which made me feel safe. The electricity worked great and the spot well kept.
