    Tips

    May 22, 2025

    Sunrise Camp is a small, high-elevation backcountry campsite located just below the popular Sunrise area on the northeast side of Mount Rainier. Sitting at around 6,200 feet, it offers expansive alpine views, access to wildflower meadows, and a front-row seat to Mount Rainier’s massive eastern glaciers.

    Despite being near one of the busiest visitor hubs in the park, Sunrise Camp maintains a quieter, backcountry feel, with designated tent sites nestled in subalpine terrain. It’s a great spot for catching alpenglow on Rainier and enjoying crisp, starlit nights above treeline. Snow often lingers into July, and weather can change quickly, so come prepared for cold nights and wind.

    The camp includes a composting toilet, bear pole, and seasonal water sources nearby (always treat before drinking). Best of all, it's a short walk to the Sunrise Visitor Center, where you can access restrooms, limited resupply options, and ranger assistance during the summer season.
