Such an amazing spot and worth the hype. Its so beautiful and has access to the creek super close by. Bathrooms are flush and always stocked up. The only downside is that sites are pretty close to each other with not much privacy but other than that its a great campground with lots to do

Beautiful campground! Bathrooms with lights so that’s great for night (except the bugs). Surrounded by gorgeous trees, picnic tables are in good condition! There was a fire ban so we were unable to use the fire pits. Visitor center is really close. First come first serve on the weekends.

This campground was great! Lots of sites to choose from, plenty of bathroom stations. Staff at the ranger station was amazingly helpful! Inside the campgrounds is the Hot Springs. Cool little trail, water is actually warm! Floods the trail out in spots, wear proper shoes for hiking and you won't have an issue

This campground is one of my new favorite places located in Mt Ranier National Park, but my time here was fairly limited. There's a beautiful glacier river with falls. The sites are large, and the campground is a short distance to a park entrance with spectacular scenery and views of Mt Ranier. You need a timed entry ticket to drive thru the park (both Paradise and Sunrise); many hiking trails along the way with even more beautiful views. There is a nice small visitor center and you can buy firewood. I was there in August and glad to have a fire. Like many national park camps, this one has no electricity and no showers, and beautifully under large trees, which limits solar power, so come prepared and be amazed! It's truly a worthy experience for the outdoors adventurer.

We recently spent three days camping at Mount Rainier National Park in August 2024, and it was an incredible experience. The park is very well-organized, and the rangers were extremely helpful throughout our stay. We camped at Ohanapecosh Campground, Loop D. While the campsites are fairly close to each other, it still provided a great experience surrounded by nature. One of the highlights of our trip was the proximity to Paradise, which is just a 45-minute drive from the campground. The campgrounds are equipped with flush toilets, but there are no showers on-site. However, the nearby river is perfect for a refreshing dip after a day of exploring. For those who prefer paid showers, we found a facility in Packwood, just a 15-minute drive away. The forest around the campground is well-maintained, and the washrooms were consistently clean. The forest rangers at the visitor center were also incredibly knowledgeable and eager to assist with any questions we had. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of Mount Rainier.

Beautiful campground. We stayed in loop A. Loved it. Toilets flush and the bathrooms have sinks with running water which is nice. And our camp site back up to the creek that ran by which was so nice. I would highly encourage you to stay here. There are first come, first serve sites. But on a Saturday the “Campground Full” sign went up at about 11am.

Camped here last weekend from Thursday to Sunday. We arrived around 10am and by then half of the available first-come-first-served reservations were already gone. Definitely a popular and busy campground. The ranger station assigns you a spot for these kinds of reservations so head there first if you're looking for a spot instead of driving around and claiming what looks like an available site. We were in Loop G which felt quieter with less sites than the other loops we passed by on the way in. The bathrooms are as clean as campground bathroom are going to be, but they did run out of toilet paper both days I was there and it took them a while to restock. A wood guy drives around in his pickup to sell wood (I think it was $7/bundle with kindling) in the late afternoon and evenings. The site was clean and provided a decent amount of privacy. People around us were very respectful of the quiet hours so despite the number of people, everything quieted down at 10pm. There weren't very many animals at all scavenging for food scraps, probably because the campground itself if fairly busy. We did the easy hike from the campground up to Silver Falls which was pretty, but we did end up spending the majority of our time up at Sunrise Point for our longer hikes, which is a good hour drive away, so next time we'll probably camp at the campground up there. This is probably a campground best suited for groups or people who want to spend a lot of time at the campsite, just hanging out. A beautiful river with blue glacial water runs through the campground so it's very accessible for those who don't want to stray too far from the sites. Overall a nice and comfortable experience.
