The Longmire Wilderness Information Center
Mount Rainier has a reservation option for those wanting to camp in the backcountry. Reservations are not required but are recommended, especially for the busy months of July and August. The park issues about 70 percent of available wilderness camping space through a reservation system. The remaining 30 percent of wilderness camps are issued on a first-come, first-served basis. A wilderness permit is required for all overnight camping in the backcountry of Mount Rainier.
