About this property

Private RV parking at the base of Mt. Rainier. Have the forest to yourself!

December 2024 update: the residence has been removed, the site graded and gravel placed, creating significantly more space to spread out and relax. You have found the best RV parking in Packwood, Washington at the base of Mt. Rainier! Enjoy nearly an acre of quiet, old growth forest to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Leave behind the congested RV park and experience a unique and tranquil oasis of natural beauty.

Pick between two RV parking spots, with septic, 30 amp electric and water. Enjoy your own fire pit, a covered picnic shelter with lighting, horseshoe pits and a covered porch with a swing. Access the property with a U-shaped, pull-through drive, or simply back in/out. The property is located at the dead end of a road with a large, paved cul de sac for easy turning .

You'll be centrally located to the best of what the Pacific Northwest has to offer: Mt. Rainier National Park (11 miles to the Stevens Canyon entrance and 27 miles to the Nisqually entrance), White Pass (including the ski resort and the Pacific Crest Trail), the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, the Cowlitz River, Packwood Lake, and endless hiking trails. Looking for more? You're also not far from Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Adams. While you feel like you've stepped away from it all, you're still just a few miles away from the amenities of Packwood, including shopping, restaurants, gas, etc.

Fall asleep to the soft sounds of nearby Butter Creek, and wake up to fresh forest air. Spend your days exploring what makes the Pacific Northwest so amazing, and relax at night gathering around the large fire pit or enjoying time together under the covered picnic shelter.

A second RV is allowed for an additional fee (contact owner), though electrical service is only available for one RV (septic and water available for two). One tent is allowed provided it is accompanied by a fully contained RV with a bathroom. The maximum occupancy is 6 persons regardless of the number of RV's or if a tent is used.

notes:

1. there is a small residence on the property, which will be vacant during your stay; you are free to use the covered porch area and the porch swing.

2. this property is for self-contained RV parking only; no bathrooms or bedrooms available.

3. this property is not well-suited for class A mobile homes with slide outs.

4. the parking surface is an established driveway with a compacted soil surface which may be a little soft after extensive rain. In

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!

Amazing Weekend Getaway!

Brandon was the best host! 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!

Quiet overnight location

Great location near Mt. Rainier NP with a quiet neighborhood. 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.

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.
