Mountain Memories: CCC Camp Construction

During the 1930s there were six Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camps at Mount Rainier National Park, including one at Narada Falls (Camp 2). Camps were a mixture of framed buildings and tents, with a mess hall, shower houses, and latrines built as buildings and the kitchen and sleeping quarters in tents. All were wired for lighting and furnished with heater stoves. Camps were vacated in the fall and reoccupied the following spring.
