Summary

There’s a small fee to camp. Amenities include pit toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and limited parking; no potable water, RV hookups, or dump stations. Tucked in a quiet, forested setting near the southwestern edge of Mount Rainier National Park, the campground sits beside Glacier View Trailhead, offering stunning alpine views of the mountain. Ideal for tent campers seeking solitude and access to hiking, it's especially scenic mid-July through September when trails are snow-free. This primitive, peaceful spot is best for self-sufficient campers craving nature and mountain vistas.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
