Ohanapecosh Campground — Mount Rainier National Park
Ohanapecosh Campground sits in dense old-growth forest on the southeast side of Mount Rainier National Park, along the Ohanapecosh River near the park's Stevens Canyon entrance. Towering firs and cedars shade nearly every site, and the river itself is a short walk away, with the Silver Falls Trail looping out from the campground through the old growth. It's a quieter, greener corner of the park than the busier Paradise side.
