Large private sites (which few exceptions that allow groups to gather without having to reserve the group site). Staff always present but not the least intrusive very polite and helpfull. If I had one extremely small issue.. our Site 18 has a large street light (for the restroom nearby) that lights up the campsite quite a bit. It's great for late night trips to the restroom. To the positive.. 18 also has possibly the best "gathering space" around the fire area. plenty of room for pets and kids to play also close to the trail that leads to the reservoir. If you fish or have kayaks/canoe/boats, bring them. There is a dry nice boat ramp in camp. I went for the first time this August and have scheduled another stay in September. Bummer for me is they're not open year round. Definitely will be back next year.

TL;DR: Great lakefront campground with easy access, clean facilities, friendly camp hosts, and…read moreabundant wildlife. Some of the sites are fairly close together but well maintained and well run. Great for fishing, kayaking, or a relaxing PNW lake stay. Bring most of your own food, there's a small nearby store for basics, but limited dining options near the campground. We camped at Mineral Lake Lions Den Campground over Memorial Day weekend (May 26-28) with two adults, two tents, and one vehicle. Overall, it was a peaceful lakefront camping experience with great wildlife, easy water access, and solid amenities. Sites are fairly close together but well maintained and organized. They have tent and RV sites some with power and water. Reservations are made online and the process was simple with instant confirmation. Check-in was smooth. We had about 3 to 4 bars of cell service during our stay. Quiet hours were generally respected. Camp hosts were helpful, friendly and present. Bathrooms were very clean and well stocked, and coin-operated showers were available (we didn't use them). There are dumpsters conveniently located near the sites, which made it easy to keep everything tidy. Firewood is available for purchase on-site ($9 per bundle), which came in handy. There is a road outside the campground, but we didn't notice road noise during our stay. The lake itself was the highlight. Multiple docks make it easy to get right out on the water. We saw plenty of fishing activity, and conditions ranged from choppy water on Friday to glassy calm on Saturday and Sunday. Wildlife was abundant: ducks, ducklings, geese, goslings, osprey, eagles, red-winged blackbirds, and even deer. There's a small local store within walking distance that carries basic supplies and a nice selection of snacks. It's best to bring your own groceries for the stay, as dining and full food options nearby are limited unless you drive into Ashford, Elbe, or Eatonville. The local Mineral store is great for essentials, last-minute items and souvenirs. Overall, really nice spot. I'd be happy to camp there again.

The campsites were so close to each other, I had to listen to the guy four feet from my tent snore all night. The first night, they did not manage quiet time at all, people were still yelling at 12:30 am. The next night, one of the camps had at least 25 people at their site and were playing their music so loud it was deafening throughout the entire campground. We were 100 yards away from them and had to raise our voices to be heard amongst ourselves. The showers and bathrooms were disgusting. (At least the water was hot in the showers) The lake itself is very beautiful but I would highly recommend you find another place on the lake to enjoy the lake.

I am writing this review for the camping area here at Sahara Creek. Although it's mentioned as…read morebeing a Horse Camp with a trailhead...I didn't see any horses, any stables or any trails. For those interested in camping, this is your place...bar none! Yes...anyone visiting Mount Rainier National Park and looking for affordable accommodations during their trip....look no further than Sahara Creek. I highly recommend it! It was a fantastic spot for me to stay during my time at Mt. Rainier along my cross country road trip. First off, this Sahara Creek Campground was ideally located. I knew that coming to Mt. Rainier and this national park being quite popular especially during the summer months...I gave into the fact that hotels/motels would be limited and expensive. And since I was basically living out of my car for the entire summer...camping for me was just fine. Yes, this Sahara Creek Campground was perfectly situated just outside the main entrance gate to Mt. Rainier....located in the quaint town of Ashford, Washington...simply 7 miles away. How convenient! And...Sahara Creek was easy to find as well, being right off Highway 706. I initially used my favorite app to find campsites...CAMPENDIUM to discover Sahara Creek. I was then immediately drawn to this place with all the good reviews about it. I plugged Sahara Creek's location into Google Maps and boom....I was here in a matter of no time. Although the sign for Sahara Creek was a little hidden off of 706, when using Google Maps I just drove slowly and turned right into it. After I turned, the entrance to the campsite and area was basically right in front of me. I drove just a tad to find my campsite and I was setup for the evening. What pleasure a this was! Also, more good news...it was FREE TO CAMP here as long as you held a Washington State Discovery Pass. And of course I had this pass. The pass was $30 and good for an entire year at all the parks in Washington state. I had bought it early on in my journey because I also had visited North Cascades NP, Olympic NP and plenty of other scenic spots within Washington. Having this Discovery Pass was a no brainer. So, coming back to this Sahara Creek Campground...just perfect...especially with accommodations being so pricey within Mt. Rainier...now I was relaxing and camping for free! And...it's first come first served in regards to grabbing a campsite. There's no reservations needed or a Camp Host on the grounds to check in with. I simply drove right into a campsite and was good for the evening. Best of all...is that it wasn't crowded whatsoever! This aspect was shocking! Because during summer times at national parks and all around the country every night that I camped out...places were packed with campers and RV'ers. But not here, how great...it was very quiet even for being in the month of August. Since I enjoyed camping here at Sahara Creek...I had to spend at least 2 nights. I didn't mind at all driving into Mt. Rainier exploring the primary Paradise Section of the park for the day...and then driving about 20 miles or so and exiting to return here. Another great aspect is that Ashford offered convenience stores so I could grab cheap breakfasts in the mornings along with gas or any needed essentials. Continuing on...another wonderful point is that I had cell phone reception. Yes! Woohoo! This was great. So many times during my road trip and at so many national parks or around the areas, there was nothing. But yes at Sahara Creek, I had reception and was able to fall alseep at night watching some YouTube videos. It did get a little cold during the evenings, but I was prepared for this...no issues because I bundled up. In this entire campground area, there were tables and benches along with fire-pits for barbecuing. This was terrific as I bought hamburgers and hot dogs at the convenience stores in Ashford and then grilled for dinner. Also, when I pitched my camping tent, the ground was nice and soft and not hard at all or with many rocks or pebbles. The ground was virtually ideal for camping. Both nights I had terrific sleeps. Overall, the campground area was picturesque as well. Just for being right off the main 706 road, it felt like I was in the heart of the forest far from reality, yet I was in Ashford with cell phone reception within a quiet ambiance and atmosphere. Sahara Creek was absolutely a hidden gem and AS GOOD AS IT GETS in regards to camping for those visiting Mt. Rainier National Park. I can't say enough good things about staying here. Lol...I hope I haven't let the cat out of the bag with this review. Although this place is under the radar...it so deserves recognition for being so great. Sahara creek was one of the BEST CAMPGROUNDS I uncovered during my 3 month cross country road trip.
