Jul 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Mt Rainier trip Nice area, close to town and Mt Rainier. It takes a bit of maneuvering to get a bigger rig into the site (our is 28 foot with 2 slide outs). Had a great time! ##### Krista K. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### C K.

We were unaware of the need to make a reservation to Mt Rainer and I reached out to him and he saved our trip with a stellar recommendation with pictures of a recent hike. He was always quick to respond and the site was exactly as described! We will definitely be back! ##### C K. Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John V.

Water pressure is not great but otherwise the site worked well for us. Communication with the owner was excellent, he even provided park updates as our stay got closer. ##### John V. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bill P. Jul 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location for Mt Rainier We enjoyed our stay - very quiet, wooded location with easy accessibility to Rainier, White Pass, and Packwood. Access was straightforward. We had a 28 foot trailer and needed to back in - turning through the U would be difficult or maybe impossible with anything longer. Watch out for rocks and tree roots backing in but otherwise great spot on a cul de sac so plenty of privacy. ##### Bill P.
