Yes, camping is allowed in Mount Rainier National Park. There are several campgrounds within the park, including Cougar Rock, Ohanapecosh, White River, and Mowich Lake. Some campgrounds require reservations, while others are first-come, first-served. Dispersed camping is not allowed within the park, but backcountry camping with a permit is an option for those looking to explore the wilderness areas. Keep in mind that amenities and services may vary depending on the campground, and always check for any park alerts or closures before planning your trip.
