We spent two weeks here. The camping was fantastic, all the sites are really nice. The owners were always available if we had any issues. The restrooms were always kept clean and look as though they have been recently renovated. We were able to ride our bikes from the campground to a forest road giving us access to some very pristine forested land with both paved and gravel roads. We live in Michigan but if we were closer, we'd go back. Highly recommend! read more

First off this property is gorgeous and just absolutely a visual gem. It wasnt however all that peaceful, relaxing or worth the cost in my opinion. #1 -- The campsites are your typical campsite - parking spot, pad for a tent, spot for a fire, picnic table, some trees for shade, access to a bathroom - BUT COSTS $70 a night!!! Very pricey. #2 -- Its loud. The property hugs the main highway, and it echoes, and its loud -- ALL DAY & ALL NIGHT. Not the most peaceful. #3 -- The Bathrooms - ugchh -- 2 toilets and 1 coin operated shower for the entire campground. They were very nice, but for $70 a night I expected more than 1 shower. Our first night there I had to wait close to an hour to use it. Also - coin operated?? COME ON!! I just paid $70 for a dirt patch, and I need to pay $2 more dollars for a 4 minute shower? Also just a note for those who dont mind paying for a shower.....once your time expires, shower is over, water is off. No warm water and not even any cold water. Water done. So this means that when you time your shower wrong, and forgot to bring extra quarters with you into the shower, and are covered in soap when the water completely shuts off...that now means you are finishing your shower in the sink. Numbers 1 & 2 made this place kind of a 4 star for me, but the bathrooms is the reason I would never return. Sorry read more

Yes, it's a campground, Rvs and tents are suitable. But not if you stay in one of the newly renovated cabins! Its Glamping! This two-bedroom cabin has a full kitchen, its own bathroom, and a spacious living room. Its extremely private as it sits on a hill away from the main campground. If you want the outdoor experience there are Adirondack chairs in the backspace, surrounding a fire pit. It's a perfect base to return to after hiking the trails at Mt. Rainier ( Nisqually entrance is 15 minutes from camp) The owners Tom and Brian are super attentive and organized, the whole experience was welcoming. We will be back for sure. read more

This was our first time staying at Elkamp RV Park and we are so happy we found this beautiful gem of a RV park. Tucked away in Mineral Wa. just 2 hours from Kirkland amongst beautiful tall trees, adequate space between sites, set along East Creek river with a foot bridge that crosses to a beautiful meadow. The meadow has been mowed with walking paths while keeping the rest of the meadow natural, small circles have been mowed to accommodate Adirondack chairs set out by the RV park owners for guests to enjoy. Fire wood can be delivered to your site. The bathrooms and shower are kept sparking clean. Fresh water and power for each site, although no sewer access they have an on-site dump station! The park is very quiet and kept incredibly clean. Tom and Brian the park owners are so incredibly kind, gracious and hospitable. This will be an annual trip for us! read more

The absolute best campground and RV park that's I've been too. The location is beautiful and perfect in every way, the owners Brian and Tom go way above and beyond, keep the grounds spotless, and they have the cutest store on the property as well. They also close the front gate at night for added safety, and showers and restrooms are nice than a hotel. read more

Our group has been visiting Elkamp for a few years now and it never disappoints! By your self, with a group or just the family there is always something to do. The owners are great and make ever effort to make sure your stay is a good one. I would highly recommend Elkamp as one of your stops for camping and relaxing. read more

Lovely site, perfect location. 1 shower (paid) and 2 toilets for the whole site. They were very clean. Very short office/shop hours. During our 2 night stay we didn't see any staff. Dump station out of order read more

We loved our stay at Elkamp and highly recommend it. We stayed for 3 nights and used it as a base for trips to Rainier. Campground is beautiful. Large mature trees offered much needed days during very warm August days. The fields had great walking paths for post-dinner strolls. The bathrooms and showers were great. Everyone was quiet by 9:30 and all neighbors seemed respectful. It was very buggy in the area so do bring bug spray and some candles. There's a fire ban so no campfires to keep them away at night. Highly recommend! read more

This is a pristine campground, well cared for, with incredibly friendly and accommodating hosts. The bathrooms are nicer than my home one. The one reason I didn't give a five is that one night we were there, a group of RVs partied El way past the quiet hours keeping us awake for hours when we wanted to get up early and hike. We were in a tent. I believe it is the hosts job to enforce quiet hours, not mine. I wasn't able to tell them about this because they were not available when we returned after 5 each day. read more

From the get-go every email and communication with Tom was positive and upbeat. Very impressed with top notch customer service. When you drive up your greeted by the most beautiful little store and check-in area and sweet little Ella the resident dog. The campsites are very large private and spacious. We had a wonderful time just relaxing didn't really do much just a word of advice bring your mosquito repellent devices. Thanks Tom and Brian read more

It was raining the whole time but still a wonderful place. It's quiet, well kept and serene. My kids loved exploring by the stream and the wildflower meadow. There is only one bathroom on site and the facility is primarily for RVs. We did tent camping and had a wonderful corner. read more

We don't want to leave a great review so that everyone discovers it and we can't get a spot there anymore! Just kidding...this campground is A+++ on so many levels, from the communication, the details at check-in, the owners (Tom & Brian - although we never met Brian), the staff (Gavin!!!), cleanliness, proximity to Mt. Rainier, Alder Lake and Mineral Lake, +++. The meadows, the service, the store with beautiful merchandising, and everything about it. We absolutely loved our experience and stay here so much, that we're already planning our big campsite buyout for next year. read more

Just came from a short stay here. Overall, an excellent experience. The best place we stayed through the whole trip. The great: It's right in the middle of a forest. Beautifully calm. Well-shaded. Pricing is very reasonable. It's within striking distance of several Mt. Rainier sights. The good: The environment itself is very quiet. Serene, almost. The camp has a bathroom and shower. (It will have two bathrooms soon, but one was under renovation.) The spots are decently spaced. We had a rather narrow pad (hard to back in), but it sat a reasonable distance from others. They'd even set up nice little walkways between the trees. The could-be-better: Wi-Fi and cell are both really slow. Now, this IS a 'getaway,' so having fast connection is a low priority. Just FYI. Only one dump station for the entire park. Shower is coin-op. That seemed a bit unnecessary. It's marked as having a dishwasher station, but it doesn't anymore. (It broke; might come back later.) The manager very kindly let me use a sink in the park office, but I didn't want to impose too much. On the last full day, a group of RVs came in and almost immediately made lots of noise. Loud conversations, banging stuff around, and one guy drunkenly yelled and laughed uproariously for hours. It ruined the entire park's peace & quiet. Now, that is in NO way the manager's fault. We asked for help, and he did go over to ask for quiet. They didn't quiet down until around 9:30 though. read more

This place is magical! I've been traveling Full time for 8 years and this place is hands down my favorite. It was so hard to leave. Every site is special. Very clean facilities. Lovely people. I may have cried a little bit when I left. Thank you! I needed that. read more

Elkamp is our favorite campground by far, and we have camped a lot around the western United States. The owners are kind, generous, helpful and very informative. The campground is beautifully situated with gorgeous trees and plants, and the meadow and creek add so much to the peaceful atmosphere. It is clean, well appointed, and the sites have good space between them. Their shop is lovely with a wonderful and unique selection of beautiful things. We spent a couple days just hanging out in the campground because we didn't want to leave. I love this place so much and can't wait to return. read more

What an amazing campsite. I enjoyed staying at the Creekside cabin. Wonderful views of the creek and the meadow right outside my window. The owner Tom was so kind and always available. That gift shop is off the charts!!! Loved the bathrooms loved the scenery and what a cute little town so nearby to sneak away for breakfast! read more

Stayed here while visiting Mount Rainier. We had site 2. A short stroll over the bridge crosses water to a meadow with paths to several secluded seating areas. Very peaceful surroundings. read more

Elkamp - Site 2 Beautiful view of bridge and soaring trees. - Campgrounds Near Me - Mineral, Washington

We are totally thrilled with our camping at Elkamp. The proprietors were fabulous and very friendly. The prices were not excessive and I loved being able to order cords of wood and not having to cart it from a store. The owners let you order what you needed and they deliver to your camp site. The bathrooms were clean and you could tell care was taken to make sure the campgrounds were well maintained. We loved the mountains nearby and the stream running through the campgrounds. I would have liked it if the owners could have ordered warmer weather. :-) All in all a delightful experience and lots of campfire therapy. We will definitely keep them in mind for future camping. read more

I'd give Elkamp more stars if I could. Tom and Brian are creating a very special place. We are travelling across the country, and I can truly say this has been our best camping spot so far. The spots are spacious, the facilities are well kept, but that's not all. Somehow, the owners are not just creating a first-rate facility, but a very special experience. I left feeling refreshed and relaxed. As other reviewers have said, Tom was great at restaurant and hike recommendations. And, their cute store is not at all your typical camp store. you won't find outdated beans on the shelf! But I did part with some of my cash for a few really special hard back books and an amazing scented candle - not to mention some flavored popcorn. If you are considering a stay, just pick this place. You won't regret it. read more

The ideal Rv campground! Tons of space between spots, surrounded by beautiful trees, big meadow for dogs to run, wildly friendly owners who share nothing but good vibes, great levels spots, good tasting water, close to Seattle or Portland etc. You'd be silly not to book this place! read more

Completely delightful experience. I would highly recommend Elkamp. Both Brian and Tim were very helpful in giving in us tips on the area. And Ella is one of the sweetest dogs we've ever come across. read more

This was our first time camping at Elkamp , but it sure won't be our last . We have enjoyed camping in California for 50 + years , moved to beautiful Washington state last year . Our son and daughter in law told us about Elkamp , they had camped there recently with their church group . This is without a doubt the most beautiful place we have ever been too and a big thank you to our host Brian . We didn't get to meet Tom but hope to meet him next time . Gary and Peggy read more

This is our second time at this magical place and we can't recommend it enough! It is beautiful, peaceful, and so fun for our kids to explore. The campsites are nestled among the trees in an old growth forest, everything is very well maintained! There are bathrooms with running water and a hot shower if needed. Tom and Brian are both so nice and amazing hosts. They drop firewood off at the campsites by golf cart in the afternoons and have an upscale camp store on the premises with interesting books, soaps, snacks, decor. We camp with our trailer and they even have a blackwater dumping station on the way out. It's a short drive to Mt. Rainier, we can't wait to go back! read more

This is the best campground!!!! It is SO PEACEFUL!! Also very well maintained. A great place to enjoy the beauty surrounding you as well as a short drive to Mount Rainier. It is very well maintained! The host (owners) are awesome! They go out of their way to make you feel at home. After touring the state of Washington for 30 days in our RV we landed here as our last stop. We enjoyed it so much we added an extra day. The store is so much fun to explore. We loved it so much we are planning another trip up there just to stay for a week of total relaxation. read more

We usually camp one week per month so we have seen many parks. ELKAMP rates at the very top. They have many 5 star approvals, and we are adding ours. Space 7 was not the largest, but our 35 ft 5th wheel nestled in there, and we appreciated the sewer hook up along with water and 50 amp. The clean grounds emphasize the care given by owners to every aspect of the visitor experience. The creek and expansive meadow are unusual and welcome for kids. Tent campers appreciate bathroom and shower, and dish washing sinks. The expansive gift shop is another unexpected benefit. Books, puzzles, art works, etc. Early morning trips to Mt Rainier were rewarded with sunshine on snow, and little restaurants near the gate were convenient. This quiet park made our stay very relaxing. Karen and Bill read more

Just spent a few days at Elkamp with my camping group. What a great place! Friendly proprietors from the moment of arrival! Beautiful and immaculate campground! Plenty of space and even a meadow over a little bridge where my dog and I were able to play. The sounds of the water in the stream was very soothing. This is a place I plan to return to! read more

This place is perfect. Literally perfect. The grounds, the space, the host, everything 10/10. One of the most beautiful campgrounds we've ever stayed at. Highly recommend. Be sure to take an extra day for yourself to just relax at the campground, it's magical. read more

We stayed in a tent at the campground for 2 nights while visiting Rainier. The campsite is in a great location for visiting the Paradise center at the park. The campground was kept really clean and was very quiet. We were able to get good sleep easily. Bathrooms were clean and the shower was nice. You do have to pay for the shower, so have quarters ready, but it was inexpensive and worth the cost. read more

Friendly environment and safe for the kids. Definitely looking forward to coming back. My kids loved it. Finally got them away from technology and enjoy nature as it is. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Bonfire and the creek were the selling point. We had a blast. read more

This campground has quickly become our new favorite. We've stayed this year and plan to return many times over. The sites are spaced nicely, and include electric and water (I believe a couple RV spots are full hook up). The trees provide a great buffer between sites. There is a clean restroom/shower building located pretty centrally on the grounds. The meadow across the walking bridge provides for off leash dog activities. The Owners are super nice and laid back, and check in periodically to see if you need anything. The little store area in the office building has a few essentials, as well as just fun camping items (including ice and beer). They have propane on site, in case you run out. read more

Outstanding in every way. Brian and Tom are as friendly as can be and made our stay even better. A group of us rented out the entire park and we have already set the date for next year to do the same. The grounds are wonderful and peaceful. The store is the better than any store you will find camping. It might as well be in a trendy shopping area. If you have the opportunity to camp at Elkamp, do. You won't regret it. read more

Amazing quite place to go camping and relax. The owners are very friendly and willing to help you with anything. One of things I love is it's very close to Graham but being there you feel very secluded. Highly recommend your next getaway here. read more

The drive here is off the beaten path and worth it. We stayed for two nights, but could have (should have) done three. The campground is beautiful. The hosts are kind and have put a lot of thought and work into Elkamp. Guests also seem to do a pretty good job cleaning up after themselves (bathrooms, shower, sink station) - please continue with that! As others have mentioned, bring quarters for the shower. read more

Started with this site off season and pretty much had the place to ourselves. The owners are very accommodating and kind. The restrooms where clean and warm. A bleach/water mixture was provided to spray everything down and the stalls were one person only. There's a nice walking bridge that crosses a creek on the side of the property that goes to a open space. My wife and I will return when the weather is warmer. We were told the site will go through a renovation in November 2020 and expand. Looking forward to it all. read more

Gorgeous grounds, and Brian and Tom are the greatest hosts! This is a lovely spot for a camping getaway--one of the best I've been to.
