This campsite offers a prime location near Mt. Rainier, making it an ideal base for nature enthusiasts. Campers appreciate the friendly hosts and the well-maintained grounds, with many noting the site's proximity to the park entrance. The sound of traffic is a minor issue for some, but it quiets down at night. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few guests mentioned the lack of privacy and signage as drawbacks.
Summary AI-generated from real reviews
Great stay at Wilderness Camp, and a very warm and helpful welcome by Christel. Very conveniently located at the Nisqually entrance of the Mt Rainier park! Bit of traffic but it dies out in the evening.

Great spot! Super close to the park entrance. It was shady and quiet. We were in the RV spot closest to the road. The cars driving by we not a bother at all. We enjoyed the campfire and picnic table. There was definitely no cell service. I read about that in other reviews and downloaded what I needed to in advanced on alltrails. There was plenty of service at the visitors center in the park.

Wilderness Path RV site
The site has the highway on one side and an old broken down RV with flat tires on the other. Although the grass was cut decent, the camp area had no signage or direction for visitors and had a sketchy vibe. Only stayed for about an hour and pulled out. It was a waste of premium campsite $$.

We absolutely loved camping here!! The property is so beautiful and we liked the more private creek camp especially to cool off our feet because it got really hot! Crystals was so kind and even helped us find an outlet for our air mattress & we charged our phones there as well with was very helpful! Also the location was perfect. Close to the little stores, we swam at Adler Lake and were 3 min away from the entrance to the park. We will 100% be back!

Wilderness Path creek camp
Crystal was very kind, we got a little turned around trying to find the drive so we called, she stayed on the phone with us and gave us step by step instructions. Our camp was nicely tucked away right by the creek. We enjoyed the fresh flowers she left at our picnic table. We had a nice fire. Nice stay.

The RV site is a hidden gem. Electric, water, fire pit (firewood is available through the host) large site and tons of shade! Also, Crystal was extremely helpful in suggesting local places to eat. This site is only one mile from Mount Rainier National Park entrance.

Very quiet and secluded campsite. Nice creek added to ambiance. We enjoyed a campfire with wood available onsite, and it was great being so close to the entrance to mount rainier.

The site was great! Incredible location right by the entrance to the park and well maintained. The porta potty was extremely clean and it was nice having well priced firewood on site.

Wilderness Path RV site
We had a great spot on Crystal’s land- plenty of space for parking and privacy from other campers; we camp with a 20 foot travel trailer. This was perfect for us… close to the road but noise at night was not a problem. There was a porta-potty we were allowed to use which we were happy about: clean and well- placed from our RV site. This site is on the road into Rainier National Park which we visited both days we stayed here- it was only about a mile to the park entrance. We visited in June (15-18; weekdays), weather was great and Rainier was not too crowded. We would definitely come here again. Thank you!

Beautiful campsite! Felt like we were in a magical fairy land with the way the light came through the trees and the bugs flittered over the creek. The perfect spot if you’re wanting to visit Rainier National Park. Note: no potable water.

Great Spot, very convenient to access the park. Would stay again.

This site is right up against the road to Mt. Rainier. While its proximity to the entrance initially felt like a selling point, it took us an hour to go the last mile to the campground because of park traffic. Then we got to the site and had to look and hear the traffic for hours. Additionally, the campground roads are marked poorly enough where we had another camper drive through our camp spot. But worse than all that, we had people stuck in traffic actually relieving themselves behind our camp spot, while many others kept attempting access to the port a potty (also within view of the spot). The camp spot is situated as such that you are forced to set up looking towards the road and have no privacy from cars sitting in traffic.

Just had my second stay here and was just as amazing as the first. Crystal is an awesome host! My and my friend did decide to go camp here late this season, so we had to battle a little bit of weather. But we came prepared and did not have any issues. The property is very well maintained and peaceful, and only about 1 mile from the entrance to the park, which made it easy for me and my friend to get to our day hikes. I will keep coming back to this place until the day it is not possible. Heavily to recommend to everybody.

I loved tent camping on Sarah's land! Directions were clear, and site was clean. National park was right down the road! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great site with easy access to Mt Rainier National Park. Super clean portopotty. Open area allowed for great star viewing and the children loved exploring around the trees and stream. Increased traffic into MRNP means more road noise than when I stayed here a few years ago and the line waiting to get into the park backs up past the entrance.

Wilderness Path Corner Camp
This site was a great launching point into Mount Rainier National Park-- a short 1 mile drive away. The surroundings were very quiet (save for some road noise which mostly disappeared at night) and overall we had a pleasant visit. During the last night of our visit, we were woken up in the early morning by the sound of a large predator devouring some live prey. Be sure to bring bear spray and take proper precautions, since the site borders protected territory!

Wilderness Path RV site
Pros: location is super close to the park entrance. Nice large spot with basically full hook ups.
Cons: no cell service which made it difficult to research hikes and directions. Literally no water pressure.

We had a great stay at the RV Site at Wilderness Path Campground. Lucky for us, we had the whole place to ourselves for 4 days / 5 nights. The grounds are beautiful and all the cool buildings on the property are of log/timber construction.
Being right near the road wasn't a problem as we spent most of our time in the park. The road noise started with an occasional car around 5:30am, but wasn't bad inside the camper and there isn't any traffic past 9pm, so nights are super quiet.
Only one mile to the park entrance was great. There was traffic to get into the park only one morning, but it took an hour to go that one mile. In the other direction a couple miles was a great place to eat called Copper Creak Inn and Restaurant.
The RV site has several entrances so is a little confusing upon arrival, but basically the whole corner from the RV Site sign on the tree to the fire pit and road is all one site. The old RV parked close by actually provides privacy between the RV Site and the next tent site in the adjoining field.
All in all a great place to stay. We would definitely stay there again.

The creek camp is a great spot tucked in the corner. Minimal road noise. Great attention to detail. Nice added bonus to have trash and recycling. Porta potty was clean.
Enjoyed getting some photos of the artsy Photo Booth in the woods.
