About OHANAPECOSH GROUP CAMPGROUND

Federal campground in Washington.

Nestled in the heart of Mount Rainier National Park, Ohanapecosh Group Campground offers RV travelers an extraordinary opportunity to experience one of America's most iconic natural landscapes. Located in the southeastern corner of the park, this campground serves as an excellent base for exploring the dramatic wilderness surrounding the 14,411-foot volcanic peak of Mount Rainier.

The Ohanapecosh area is renowned for its pristine old-growth forest, where towering Douglas firs and western hemlocks create a cathedral-like canopy overhead. The Ohanapecosh River flows nearby, a beautiful glacially-fed waterway that provides both scenic beauty and the soothing sounds of flowing water throughout your stay. This river valley has been a treasured destination for generations, offering a glimpse into the Pacific Northwest's untamed natural character.

Your RV camping experience here immerses you in some of Washington's most spectacular scenery. The region is particularly popular during summer and early fall when the weather is most favorable for outdoor activities. Hikers will find excellent trail options, including access to the Grove of the Patriarchs, a magnificent stand of ancient trees that will leave you speechless. The Ohanapecosh Hot Springs nearby offer a unique opportunity to soak in naturally heated waters surrounded by forest beauty.

The park's location makes it ideal for travelers interested in alpine scenery, wildlife viewing, and photography. The area supports populations of elk, deer, and black bears, and patient observers may witness these magnificent animals in their natural habitat. Wildflower meadows burst with color in mid to late summer, creating stunning photo opportunities and natural landscapes.

For those planning extended stays or larger groups, the group campground facilities provide a communal camping experience. The elevation and location mean you'll experience cooler temperatures compared to lower elevations, making this an excellent destination during hot summer months elsewhere in the region. Visiting Ohanapecosh allows you to experience the raw beauty of the Cascade Range while enjoying the comfort and convenience of RV camping within one of America's most treasured national parks.
