To see our video tour of this campground, go to YouTube and search Video Tour Ohanapecosh Campground This is a stunningly beautiful campground and our favorite place to camp at Mt Rainier National Park. The campground is well maintained. The roads were recently repaved and they installed bear boxes in each campsite which make food storage safe and simple. We camped in C-Loop which is close to the river. The sound of the river is wonderful. It drowns out camp noise and lulls you to sleep every night! The bathrooms are clean and well maintained, however there is no soap. I gave this 4 stars because they closed the RV dump station which is an inconvenience.

I'm pretty sure it's the same friendly guy whose been doing it for at least a decade. On other days, Packwood is only a short drive away for supplies.
It is a busy campground, so make sure to get reservations during their...
Read moreHands down my favorite place to go camping at Mt. Ranier. I have been to a few others, but none of them offer the beauty of camping in the forest like Ohanapecosh. Whether you are right by the river or in a more secluded edge of the campground, you are always surrounded by nature. The bathrooms have electricity and are decently located with 1 in each loop. They do have bear resistant containers in each campsite now, so you don't need to walk back and forth to your cars for food storage any more. They have also upgraded the fire pits to make them more...
