This location is very close to the Nisqually entrance of Mt Rainier - pretty ideal to explore the park from. Crystal is a great host. The elk really enjoy the campground as well. :)

Wilderness Path RV site
Camped in RV. Beautiful scenery, quite, and easy entrance into NP.
Perfect campsite right by the paradise entrance of Mount Rainier National Park. Helped get us to the park early for a sunrise hike that was the highlight of our entire PNW trip. Potable water, campsite near the main road and a private outhouse that was CLEAN. Highly recommend.

Wilderness Path RV site
We had a really nice stay at Wilderness Path. It got us super close the Mt Ranier so that we could get an early start on our journey to the park.
The location was beautiful, clean, and exactly as described.
Very clean camping near the park entrance. We were impressed with how clean the Honey Bucket was. Hostess was very helpful and responsive. We were in a tent in the RV site because we needed electricity. The RV site is the closest site to the highway, which can get noisy early on the morning. For an RV, shouldn’t be an issue. If you are in a tent, I recommend one of the other tent sites as they are further away and should be quieter. Great spot. We will definitely be back for our next Mt. Rainier trip.
This was a great little spot to camp right outside the park. It made travel in and out very quick. There weren’t too many bugs even being by the water so that was a nice little surprise.

Wilderness Path Corner Camp
This was a great spot super close to the park entrance. It was easy to get to and the sites are clearly marked. Our site, Corner Camp, was cute with a picnic table, water spigot, campfire spot, and trash can, plus a few chairs. I would definitely stay here again!
As my first time visiting Washington State, I wanted to get the closest campsite to Mount Rainier to reduce traffic, this place was the spot. Definitely secluded, makes you feel like you’re lost in the woods, some “interesting” features to it that made it different then your average campsite. Crystal was also pleasant
We loved our 2 nights at Creek camp. Beautiful location nestled in the trees and next to the creek. Some amazing stargazing just sitting around the fire pit. Being a mile from the Nisquali gate made getting into MT Rainier a breeze.

Wilderness Path Corner Camp
Crystal provided a lovely space for us to camp out for 2 days. The space was perfect size for the tent, a sitting area as well as parking for our Jeep. Location was amazing - 5 min drive to the Park and 5-10 min away from some really great eateries.

Wilderness Path Field camp site 1
Our tent site at Wilderness Path was an ideal jumping-off point for exploring the national park and nearby national forest. Our stay was comfortable and quiet, with lots of room for our 6-person tent. We could scoot to the Nisqually entrance entrance and beat the (often) long lines. (Our host's advice on when to be at that entrance to avoid long lines into Mt Rainier NP also helped! Thanks, Crystal.)

Easy to find and the campsite was clean and spacious. Would recommend for Mt Rainier. It allowed us to get an early start and beat some of the traffic right near the entrance

Wilderness Path creek camp
The campsite was well kept and the stream made is so serine. The Porte potty was very clean. Crystal greeted us and was very kind.
Beautiful location. Everything you need. Quiet, spacious and right next to the park entrance and food services. Amazing experience.
I wanted to hike to Camp Muir and needed a campsite to get to the park early then next morning. It seemed impossible to find state park camping and this spot worked out perfectly!
The site was one of the cleanest, best maintained site I’ve ever camped it. Plenty of space and included a canopy to get out of the sun.
I want to bring my family back and will definitely be using this place again!!

Wilderness Path creek camp
The site is quiet, well kept and the porta potties are SO clean! It is less than a mile to the entrance of RNP, so you really can't beat it if you want to get up to Longmire or Paradise bright and early! Crystal was very responsive and super helpful. One tip: don't arrive in the dark, it can be difficult to see where you are heading, even where the entrance is, though Crystal gave excellent instructions for my very last minute booking!! I arrived too late to grab a meal at the restaurant within walking distance, just have to stay again!

Wilderness Path RV site
We booked this site last minute and we were so pleased with how close it is to the park entrance. The site is right off the highway but there are trees providing some visual barrier. Directions were clear to find the spot (instructions are to arrive before dark, which we unfortunately underestimated our drive time, and it was a little hard to navigate the RV in the dark). Water, sewer, and electric all in working order. There is a little corn hole/common clearing and some additional tables and seating outside of the site for use. We booked for 2 nights so that we would not have to worry about being back by 11 for check out. The other sites were vacant on a Monday and Tuesday night in August. Would for sure book again if I ever schedule a return trip to Rainier.

Wilderness Path Corner Camp
The campsite was very cute, quiet, and nice. I enjoyed my time there!
It was...fine. Very close to the road but also very close to the park so it's a great spot for beating the crowds. Very open and exposed (which is well-disclosed in the description). The lack of potable water is quite inconvenient though.

Wilderness Path creek camp
This was such a beautiful place. It was so close to the park entrance. We had a cute little creek running next to our sight. It was so fun for the kids to play by while we made dinner. Beautiful location. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much Crystal for sharing your beautiful property with us.
The site was clean and relatively secluded. It was a very short drive to the Mt. Ranier National Park Nisqually Gate. There was a small restaurant and a few hotels within a quick drive. This is a great deal of you just need a nice quiet place to camp. Is definitely stay here again!
