Klapatche Park Campground
Klapatche Park Campground
Klapatche Park Campground is a popular backcountry wilderness camp on Mount Rainier's Wonderland Trail, featuring four individual campsites located in forest along the edge of a high alpine meadow near Aurora Lake.
The camp offers scenic sunset views of Mount Rainier, pit toilets, and bear poles for food storage, though water from Aurora Lake may dry up in late summer, requiring a 0. 75-mile hike to St. Andrews Lake.
Access requires a wilderness permit (highly competitive) and is typically reached via a 2-6 mile hike from nearby trailheads on the Westside Road.
