Sleep-ready tent, cheap & simple near MRNP & lake
Description
Pre-pitched tent, a firepit and privacy - what more do you need? Say NO THANKS to packed campgrounds, and YES, YAY! to two acres of trees and sunlight. Enjoy boating, fishing, and swimming on Mineral Lake - you're a 30-second drive from the public dock and boat launch. Or put your feet up next to the campfire after a day of hiking. This site is a beautiful, 30-minute drive from the Nisqually entrance to Mount Rainier. The space Save yourself the hassle of lugging and pitching your tent—ours is set up and waiting for you to roll out your sleeping bag and get cozy. The flat, broad site, tucked against trees at the end of a meadow, has a fire pit, picnic table, and plenty of room for a second tent if you’re bringing friends. Another campsite sits along the side of the meadow, about 50 yards away. Contact us if you’d like to rent both sites! Note this is dry camping and does not have water, power, or toilet facilities (though we do provide a camp potty for #1). Opposite your campsite is where you’ll see evidence of our family honing our DIY skills as we create a baby orchard (5 trees counts, right?) and experiment with water-saving flower beds. You’re welcome to explore! You’ll also see a forested area beyond, where we have a yurt that might be occupied with us or renters. Let us know if you're interested in staying there. Guest access The two acres west of the driveway are shared by you and one other campsite about 50 yards from yours. The wooded east end, on the other side of the driveway, has our yurt. To ensure everyone's privacy, please check with us beforehand if you want to take a look. Other things to note For toileting, a camp potty or tucked-back privacy among the trees are your choices for liquids. There aren't facilities for depositing solids, so we encourage you to take advantage of restroom options as you're out and about. (The portapotty mentioned in some earlier reviews is no longer available) Dogs welcome, but not in the tent unless they're kenneled. Dog nails + tent floor = sad face. You'll need to carry in your own drinking water, and carry out your trash. This is leave-no-trace camping, including whatever your doggie, um, deposits. Thank you! The 2+ acres property is bounded by two roads, which are partly visible from the tent. See the photos for context.
