Our Campground Stay:
Alder Lake Park Rocky Point Campground is a dog-friendly RV Stay near Mount Rainier National Park. The rustic, wooded park has limited amenities, but it is close to a public beach on Alder Lake. A good park for a short stay
What to do:
Take the pups on a road trip through Mount Rainier National Park. Dogs are not allowed on trails, but they can get out on a leash at parking areas and visitor centers. Start at the Nisqually entrance and stop at the Longmire historic district. Drive through the park to Paradise and visit the Henry M. Jackson Memorial Visitor Center. Hike the numerous trails throughout the park. Note that dogs are not allowed on the trails and many of the hikes are long and difficult.
Eat lunch or dinner at Bruno’s Family Restaurant in Eatonville. The burgers are enormous! Dogs are welcome on their outside patio – woof!
Chili & Cedar’s Campground Review: 4.2 out of 5 paws
The best part of this campground was Alder Lake. If mom and dad got up early enough, we could chase sticks on the beach before the beach people showed up. We liked to walk around the campground, and we really enjoyed our drive through Mount Rainier. It was too hot to do much else. On to our next stop!
