Left the RV at home and went old school....tent and car camping. Wanted to spend the day at Mt Rainier and knew it was too far for us for a day trip. We had seen this campground years ago and remembered it was nice. Upon arriving we went to the Main Campground, it is the only one open from Sept 15 to May 15th. No reservations taken during this period. The summer months are reservations and I am sure it fills up very quickly. We scoped out a tent site in the area that had 15 tent sites. Back the car right up to them. We arrived on Tuesday the 29th of Sept (the day they lifted the burn ban) and there was not another sole in the tent area and out of the two RV loops no one in the one loop and about 6 in the other loop. The bonus was great weather, but also the nicest, cleanest bathhouse and toilets and, first time I have seen this, a dish washing station with hot water and two sinks, even the dawn dish soap was provided. The showers were .50¢ for 6 minutes or $1.00 for 12. We explored the campground, and I read a review about the sites being close together, well, yes if you are there in the busy summer and are at Elk Plain, they are. But off season camping here is absolutely the way to go! We found a half dozen sites we would be comfortable pulling in our AF (13.3 H), but many of the sites had low trees or tight squeezes. We saw LOTS of medium to large sized motor homes and smaller lower profile bumper pulls and 5th wheels that would fit into any of the sites. The Main campground has lots of space between sites and is very roomy. Except for the tent spaces all had water and electric and 15 had sewer. The dump station is an easy pull through and is free for campers, $5 for none. The day use area was beautiful and has a bathhouse also for day use visitors. Our second night saw one other tent camper but quite a few more RVs pulled in and by the time we left on Thursday, many more were coming, but still lots of open spots. We loved this campground and only 3 hours from home, it is a nice get away.

Stayed for 2 night. It’s an RV Park so it’s fairly busy and not like camping on BLM, but we had a great experience. Most sites have some shade. We had an easy entrance with a back-in (somewhat) level concrete pad site. The sites include a picnic table and fire pit. It was quiet at night. Paid $35/night for water and 30amp hookup.

We were in Elk Plain, the lower campground. About 20 sites and decently spaced. 4th of July weekend and yet it was quiet. It is a boating lake but we are up on a bluff so a lot of the noise was more muted. A great spot and well kept. No sewer in this area but four nights just tapped out our grey water so perfect timing to dump as we le... more

Absolutely beautiful! The lake is an amazingly turquoise color - and even though it was very low we still had fun. We took a bike ride to see the nearby Alder Dam, the kids played on the playground, and we relaxed by the campfire. Having full hookups and spaced out sites was a complete bonus. Only downside is that there are no decent g... more
