Brandon's campsite is a peaceful retreat, nestled in a quiet neighborhood close to Mount Rainier. Guests appreciated the site's privacy and the convenience of full hookups, making it a perfect base camp for exploring the area's natural beauty. A covered picnic table, fire pit, and swinging bench add charm and comfort, though some guests noted the need for careful maneuvering with larger trailers. While neighboring cabins are present, most found the location serene and the host responsive, enhancing the overall experience.

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.

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
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 setting
25 ft Class C · With pets
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!
