Cougar Rv Park & Campground

Love this place, go back year after year for our family campouts. Tent sites are HUGE and the owner is always very accommodating

One of our best Travel Trailer camping experiences. We spent 2 nights at Cougar RV Park and had a wonderful time. It helps that the weather was perfect and that PacifiCorp has done an excellent job maintaining the boat ramp and facilities at Yale Lake and Swift Reservoir. Back at Cougar RV, the Camp host was just super. She was friendly, helpful and even let us check out late on Sunday at no extra charge (because the park was not going to be filled up on Sunday). The RV park is clean and not real large so we had a nice amount of privacy. Plenty of grassy lawn for the dogs to run around and do their business. As others have mentioned, there is no cellular service in this particular area, but picks up again as we traveled to and around Yale Lake so it wasn’t like we were totally out of touch with the rest of the world for to long.

Very shady looking. Front desk clerk looked like meth addicted having withdrawals. There were a couple trailers that had been living there with garbage everywhere around each one. Did not feel comfortable staying here at all. Very dark.

Very good experience and also very close to Longmire and the National Park Inn. There is a small store at the Inn for emergency items (expensive). The campground is right across the street from the Nisqually river so at night you hear the river in the background. Weather is the key to a good stay… it must be clear or light clouds for great views. Bathrooms are very basic. 4 stars for the location.

1. Make a reservation if you can and be sure you show up by eight or they won’t let you in.
2. If you can’t, show up early on Saturday morning and they usually have a spot available that you can park in and go adventure for the day.
This campground has decent facilities, nice tent pads and a great view of the lake all the way through. It’s also close to Ape Cave and reasonably priced.
I was not thrilled with the fact that alcohol isn’t allowed in the park and the campsites are so close together with little privacy.
Got a family and want a family-​friendly camping experience? By all means seek this place out. It’s perfect. Want a cozy weekend with your sweetheart, a bottle of wine, a roaring fire and some privacy? Try somewhere else.
