Tel: (360) 569-2211

White River Campground is a scenic campground located at a high altitude in stunning Mount Rainier National Park, a prized gem of the State of Washington. The campground is set next to the White River, a short hiking distance from the breathtaking glaciers and alpine ledges of the National Park. This is a perfect destination for hikers since the campground is located near Sunrise, one of the most beautiful high altitude hiking regions of the whole area.

White River Campground is one of six campgrounds in Mount Rainier National Park. It is a relatively large campground, with 112 sites, yet it is spacious enough so that it does not feel overcrowded. The campground is open from late June to September, weather permitting. Since it is located in a relatively high elevation of 4,400 feet, nights tend to be cold so it is highly advised to bring warm sleeping bags…or people to cuddle with!

Facilities in the White River Campground include flush toilets, drinking water, picnic tables, fire grills and a dump station. This campground is not suitable for motorhomes that exceed 20 feet, and reservations are not accepted. Although sites are usually available, during national holidays and the weekend it is advised to arrive early in order to guarantee an available spot. White River Campground is located in the northeast corner of the Mt. Rainier National Park, five miles west of the White River Entrance off SR 410. There are a few hiking trails, including the beautiful Glacier Basin trail (seven miles roundtrip), that start from this campground, so bring the whole family and have a comfortable and beautiful adventure!
