Perhaps unbeknownst to the casual visitor, there is a whole complex on the other side of the Nisqually River at Longmire...a large rustic community center (also the Eagle Peak trail head) and the Longmire Stewardship Campground that is open only to seasonal staff and official volunteers. Of interest; cross the oldest surviving road bridge in the park to get there. Take a bike tour of these grounds and other areas of the Longmire complex.
