Looking for suggestions for an RV campground to explore the area for a few days in early August. 35 ft 5th wheel. Prefer full hookups but can make do with electric only for a few days. Coming from the east. Thanks in advance. Also what are some things to see while there?

Hi Ron. I tried to climb the Mounatin twice but was turned back by weather both times. I spent a summer at Pack Forest just down the road from the Park.
We really liked Mounthaven in Ashford -- we have stayed there twice. Check out the reviews at rvparkreviews.com.

Ohanapecosh. Paradise, ice caves, wildflowers, Kautz Creek Mudflow, Carbon Glacier, Wonder Trail, the Lodge, sub-alpine fir and mtn hemlock forest, watch for climbers.
We were there last week. Stayed at Yakima River RV Park. Full hookups campground with no amenities (bathhouse/toilets). About 45 minutes to Rainier but centrally located for places to the north.
