LO TAHOMA LO: Used to call attention or to express wonder or surprise. TAHOMA: Mt. Rainier or 'Tahoma' as it was named by Indigenous People of the Pacific Northwest. Lo Tahoma is an 18 acre homestead of diverse land including 15 forested acres, we're located 5 miles from the NW Carbon River entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park and 20 miles away from the Mowich Lake entrance. The glacier fed Carbon River is a 1/4 mile walk/drive from our driveway with easy access to the Foothills Rails-to-Trails (a relatively easy walking, dirt trail which parallels the Carbon River). We mill our own lumber from trees off our property using a portable sawmill which provides us with the wood we need for most of our construction and repair projects. We like to share self-sustainable knowledge and skills that we have found very useful on our homestead by offering small, hands-on, intimate classes.

Cedar Grove @ Lo Tahoma

Great attention to detail - we especially liked the washing station. Was super close to Carbon River Park entrance.

An Oasis

What a little oasis this Hipcamp is! The hosts have made it extra special - it has its own trails! - and you only hear the sounds of owls, elk, and horses. It was simply lovely, and appreciated.

Cedar Grove @ Lo Tahoma

Best Hipcamp spot to date! Perfect blend of rustic tent camping experience with amenities that were just - chef’s kiss. We loved the covered area for our tent, the critter proof box to store food, line to dry our towels & swimsuits, side table to prep our food, fire pit with a rotating grill, picnic table with an umbrella, dish washing station with an awesome water pump, & the cute bathroom! 10/10. They even provided a crate of fire wood + kindling to get you started. You have the option to add more wood, if you wanted. It was plenty enough to cook our food for 2 nights & have a proper fire to relax at during the evening. Everything was spaced apart so intentionally & at about the right distance to keep animals away from your sleeping area. Jill & Kent really hit it out of the ballpark with this very private camping site. We could hear the neighbors only every so often, they were drowned out by the owls hooting at night, the frogs croaking, the birds singing, & the elks bugling. Perfect place as base camp while we explored the NW corner of MRNP.

Cedar Grove @ Lo Tahoma

This site set the bar for Hip Camp

The site is impecable, well-thought out, and has every amenity you could need, rain or shine. The hosts thought of everything and everything there is really well made. We got a huge kick out of the guidebook they provide at the site. The hiking on property and down by the river at the bridge nearby was seriously better than NPS hikes at Carbon River station and Olympics Hoh Rainforest.

Camping in the rain at LoTohoma

Camp Lo Tohoma was a very well outfitted and laid out campsite. We arrived in the pouring rain but were still able to make the best of space (with the help of our canopy). In better weather one could arrive here with little more than a sleeping bag, food, mess kit, and water and be fine. I never had an opportunity to meet the hosts but from the immaculate condition of the site I have to imagine they are conscientious and thoughtful people. The Carbonado area is gorgeous and the proximity to the NW entrance to the park makes this site a great base camp for further exploration.
