Our rental property was once a mini Rail Road with full size locomotive's, train cars, pumper cars and more. My dad & grandpa layed all the tracks & put together the buildings in the 1970's. Once done my grandma sold tickets to the tourist and my grandpa ran the engine around the 7 acre oval track pulling a train car full of happy tourist through the woods over the train bridge and past the big water tower back to their vehicles so they could finish their journies with a drive to Mt. Rainier. There is a lot of history on this property for our family and we hope by sharing it with others they will be able to experience some fun here as well.
This campsite is a favorite for those visiting Mount Rainier, thanks to its proximity to the park entrance and well-kept grounds. Most visitors praise the clean facilities, including the porta-potties, and the peacefulness of the setting, though some mention road noise due to its close location to the main road. Crystal, the host, is noted for being accommodating and responsive, adding personal touches like citronella candles and flowers that enhance the experience. However, a few campers have reported wildlife encounters and the need for caution with food storage.
Just had my second stay here and was just as amazing as the first. Crystal is an awesome host! My and my friend did decide to go camp here late this season, so we had to battle a little bit of weather. But we came prepared and did not have any issues. The property is very well maintained and peaceful, and only about 1 mile from the entrance to the park, which made it easy for me and my friend to get to our day hikes. I will keep coming back to this place until the day it is not possible. Heavily to recommend to everybody.
I loved tent camping on Sarah's land! Directions were clear, and site was clean. National park was right down the road! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Great site with easy access to Mt Rainier National Park. Super clean portopotty. Open area allowed for great star viewing and the children loved exploring around the trees and stream. Increased traffic into MRNP means more road noise than when I stayed here a few years ago and the line waiting to get into the park backs up past the entrance.
This site was a great launching point into Mount Rainier National Park-- a short 1 mile drive away. The surroundings were very quiet (save for some road noise which mostly disappeared at night) and overall we had a pleasant visit. During the last night of our visit, we were woken up in the early morning by the sound of a large predator devouring some live prey. Be sure to bring bear spray and take proper precautions, since the site borders protected territory!
Pros: location is super close to the park entrance. Nice large spot with basically full hook ups.
Cons: no cell service which made it difficult to research hikes and directions. Literally no water pressure.
