Family Camping in Mt. Rainier National Park

August 20 - 22 - Family Camping at Cougar Rock Campground, MRNP. Check in Friday after 12:30, check out Sunday by noon. Cougar Rock campground is located in the southwest corner of park between Longmire and Paradise. Paradise is the most popular destination in the park, with a lodge and visitor center, many miles of hiking trails, and a commanding view of the mountain. Visitors travel through majestic old-growth forest, past tumbling waterfalls to reach subalpine meadows, where world-famous wildflower displays are seen in July and August.

The cost of approximately $10-$15 per family, per night (not including the park entrance fee), will be determined by how many families register. A $20 deposit is required.

Each family will be responsible for bringing all necessary tents, camping equipment, food, etc. Group sites are designed for tent camping only, RVs are not permitted in group sites. This is an alcohol free event, please. No pets.
