Mt Ranier NP

Think I know the answer but would like confirmation. Just looked at two large CG and they say max is 34’ RV but only 27’ trailer. I assume that means a 30’ fifth wheel plus our truck would be considered too big. Yes?
  • They're terrible at measuring the length of RV spots in this state! :)
    Often times the length the describe only goes to a cement curb in the back of the site and you can back way over those for a lot more room.
  • Camp La Wis Wis has a length restriction posted at the gate however enforcement is another matter. Sort of like a speed limit, nobody fusses much if you are a little over.

    We went in with our 34' 5er. Went around the first loop twice to check sites out. Very few big enough for us but we shoehorned ourselves into one of them. We were literally a couple inches from a tree at the back, a few inches extra for a slide on one side & an inch spare for the awning. But oh what a CG! We had a raging river right behind the site. Early season, lots of snow melt & the second loop, with more slightly longer sites was not open yet.

    Much depends on when you arrive. We came in on a Sunday just as all of the weekend warriors were leaving. Apparently the camp host was greatly entertained by our determined efforts to squeeze in. Shortly after we had finished setting up he came by to congratulate us on a job well done.

    Again, absolutely stunning CG well worth the extra effort.
  • I believe they are calling a MH an RV and a trailer is inclusive of TT and 5r.
    I would suggest calling the park directly!
