Primitive walk-in camp at 1,505 m (4,939 ft) on the shore of Mowich Lake with 13 tent pads, vault toilets and no potable water (treat lake water). A wilderness permit is required; in 2025-2026 it can only be reached on foot from the Wonderland Trail because the SR 165 Fairfax Bridge is closed, so there is no road access and no food cache.
Valley-floor camp at 853 m (2,798 ft) beside the braided South Mowich River, with 3 individual sites and 1 group site. No water at camp: get it just south of the river.
Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "not confirmed by the operator" are listed on OpenStreetMap or in guides but could not be checked on an official page. Camps on the Wonderland Trail are run by Mount Rainier National Park: marked tent sites for up to 5 people, a pit or composting toilet, bear poles or boxes and a water source nearby, but no shelter or supplies. Camp only on your permitted site, treat all water and never light a fire.
The Wonderland Trail route works offline in Outest, with these places on the map and a trail guide you can ask about water, weather and the next village.
