The Dalles Campground

The Dalles Campground in Enumclaw, Washington, redefines tranquility with its riverside setting amid old-growth forests, proximity to Mount Rainier, and a blend of modern amenities with nature's untouched charm. Conveniently located 26 miles east of Enumclaw along Highway 410 and just 7 miles west of the North Arch entrance to Mount Rainier National Park, this campground serves as an exceptional base for exploring the wonders of the Cascade Mountains.

Spread across the banks of the White River, the campground offers 44 widely spaced sites, some positioned right by the water. Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and grill, accommodating tents, trailers, and RVs up to 45 feet in length. Amenities include vault toilets, drinking water, trash collection, and a historic Civilian Conservation Corps picnic shelter that can be reserved. For those seeking an immersive experience, the campground’s dense canopy of Douglas-fir, cedar, and hemlock provides a serene, shaded environment perfect for reconnecting with nature.

The Dalles Campground is a gateway to outdoor adventures, boasting access to hiking trails like the John Muir Nature Trail—a barrier-free half-mile loop starting at the campground—and the "Big Tree," a towering, 700-year-old Douglas-fir. For anglers, the White River offers opportunities for fly fishing, while wildlife enthusiasts can enjoy sightings of native species such as mountain goats and migratory birds. Additionally, the campground places you within a 20-minute drive of Crystal Mountain Resort, where scenic gondola rides provide sweeping views of Mount Rainier and the surrounding peaks.
