Very uncomfortable, looked like people lived here year around, too much late night activity for us. Did not feel safe. Dirty icky bathrooms. Smokers in bathrooms. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We have camped here twice in the last two years while working in the area and visiting with relatives. The location was the most convenient for our purposes. Packwood has a huge flea market on Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. We had to change sites when we were there over Labor Day 2008. This is an older RV park with large shade trees. The facilities are adequate but not real well maintained. Our site had a good view of Mount Rainier and lots of elk right in town. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Friendly lady in the very messy office. Park is not well kept. Would not stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The RV Park is unkindly maintained. It is shady under big old trees. The owner was kind and helpful. WiFi is sometimes available from the public library next to the campground. The park is quiet overnight. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There were permanent tenants in this park. Scary ones at that. Lots of coming and going from a couple of the 5th wheels parked here. There were lots of shady characters floatin' around. Said it was under new ownership so maybe they hadn't got a chance to clean it up yet. We stayed here to ski White Pass but will make another choice next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Sure wished we had found this site first before our stay at this stinker. Where to begin? This is one of those "RV Parks" with permanent residents. Trailers up on blocks with tarps over them, etc. The managers were new and stated that "The owner doesn't allow overnighters". In other words if you are passing through Packwood and need a place for one night, pass on through! No picnic tables, no fire pits or grates, very un-kept. We could find no other parks listed on other sites for this area and since we were going skiing in the winter at White Pass, the Forest Service campgrounds are closed this time of year. We did find while we were there that there is an "RV" parking lot directly across the street from the White Pass ski area for skiers to use. No hookups. There is also a much much nicer looking park 7 miles west of Packwood, called Cascade Peaks RV park. In summary, stay away from this park, we won't be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a lovely park with grassy sites situated among huge old growth fir trees. I was also very surprised to read the first review. This isn't a concrete resort, but a delightful little place within minutes of the entrance to Mt. Rainier National Park. Saying it's "smack in the middle of town" is kind of silly, since the town of Packwood is so tiny. Don't know what the population is, but the whole town is 4 streets that cross Highway 12. And since the entire area is so remote, in such deep forest, it was comforting to be camped close to civilization, especially after we saw the 6 bull elk standing beside the highway just past the city limit sign. We also found the owners to be very friendly and helpful. The sites can be a little confusing, which is why the owner dropped what he was doing and led us to our site. He stayed to make sure we were happy with the site, which was fortunate, because our sewer hose wouldn't reach, and without batting an eye, he moved us to a site nearby which was perfect. The sites are confusing only because they left the huge old trees in place, and forests seldom grow in straight lines. As for having nothing to do, don't go to Packwood if you expect an amusement park feel. This is a laid back area in beautiful forest area, and if you can't find anything to do it's certainly not the fault of the RV park. We spent a day exploring Mt. Rainier (breathtaking views!), another day taking walks and bicycle rides, and another day recovering. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a beautiful park with wooded and grassy areas. The restrooms had brand new toilets and sinks installed. The showers were very clean and were tiled. The park has a laundry room, a park with playground and lots of nice areas for walking pets. All the necessary facilities one requires when on the road are within walking distance, such as all restuarants, post office, hardware store, and grocey store. Propane was available right across the street. This park was bought by new owners in September of 2004. They were exceptionally friendly and informative. We spoke with them in length. They have been busy doing upgrades to the park, and had just launched thier new website, and were working on a live reservations system. I did read the other reviews that were posted, and am very surprised that they rated this park and people as they did. The only thing I can think of is that they recorded their visit date incorrectly. The couple that just took over the park had shared with us that the two previous sets of managers that had been in there had not cared about the parks cleanliness, or repeat business and just camped to collect a wage and free lodging. The park is definitely one to see for yourself. We will be going back there in May for the annual Memorial Day Flea Market. The park's website is very informative so please use your own judgement. Happy Trails!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Two words....run and down. The staff was less than friendly, when they were even there. Apparently office hours mean nothing. They charged my credit card prior to us arriving. I explained to them that this was against the law. They basically gave me a bunch of "playing ignorant" double talk. I got my $$$ back though. We left early and stayed somewhere else. Some sites have concrete pads in the middle of grass. Others you just pull onto the grass next to a hose spigot. Doggie land mines all over. The park is right smack in the middle of town (Packwood) next to a city park, but there is absolutely nothing to do. There are much nicer places to stay up at Randle. We camped here in a Motorhome.
