Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Welcome to Rainier Roadside RV, the ideal base camp for visiting Mt. Rainier! The closest RV site to Rainier's Nisqually entrance and a two minute drive to the gate! Beat the morning rush and be first into the park. Site amenities include a covered pavilion for afternoon picnics, a central fire pit area, electrical connections, and trash bin. This desirable location is both close to the entrance but also the road. During the busy season the line for the Nisqually entrance can back up over three miles long. This campsite is close to the park and less than a mile to the gate. This mean a couple things: You can be the first in line in the mornings, but traffic also backs up past the campsite starting around 8 am (see picture of road proximity from Google Earth for reference). The road traffic dies down in the evenings, as visitors tend to leave the park before dark. When you're not in the park check out the local sites including The Elbe Outdoor Shooting Range, Nisqually River (387th Ave Ct E), Ice cream at Elbe Junction or the Wildberry Restaurant across the street, just a stroll away! I appreciate feedback and reviews, I'm always trying to make the experience better!Welcome to Rainier Roadside RV, the ideal base camp for visiting Mt. Rainier!

Great simple little spot about a mile away from the Nisqually entrance to Mount Rainier NP.

Close location to entrance of the park. Very basic and right next to the main road. We were in a camper van so it didn’t bother us.

Such a beautiful little spot, and so close to the entrance as well! The wild berry restaurant across the st had authentic Himalayan dishes that you must check out. The owners were really friendly and stopped in for an introduction and to check the site. Pro tip, if you get into the park before or after peak hours you don’t need a timed entry pass or to pay a fee. This site is a perfect base camp for the early sunrise hikes, or to take your time during sunsets. 🏕️🏔️
