We had a comfortable campout. The sites were clean, and so was the nearby restroom.
James Rajavarman
Not suitable for staying without an RV. The 3 out of 4 restrooms are pit toilets, one is locked for maintenance. You can use it in extreme urgent conditions. No lights in the restroom. The water facility is not tap water, just only one hand pump for the entire camp ground with 43 lots, which is far away from camp sites. The river front is accessible across the road.

We have stopped at this campground a few times, and it doesn't disappoint. There were plenty of open sites when we stopped, and looked around but I can see this place full of campers during any holiday. There is a hand water pump and I would advise filtering the water for drinking. If you do stay, please make sure your campfires are out. On our last visit, we came upon an empty campsite with a fire still smoldering.

One of our favorite campgrounds. I understand the appeal of dispersed camping, but too often you are roaming around trying to find a spot. Kaner is reservable and inexpensive (comparatively speaking). I like knowing I for sure have a place to camp. It has outhouses so you can save your black tank. Many of the sites are huge. We were able to get two trailers in one spot and just pay the extra vehicle fee. Beautiful forest and river. There is a store down the highway if you need to resupply. Drive up to Raven's Roost or up to Mount Rainier. We like to go to Boulder Cave. Plenty to do.
