A Cascades-to-Coast Journey Like No Other

The Saltwater State Park will give you a sense of what Washington natural parks have to offer so it’s a great place to get started. It’s right within the city limits of Des Moines, on the town's south end. Expectedly, you will share the park with a good crowd when there's no cloud. Comb the sandy shore strewn with driftwood, take a dip in the shallows, or put on your fins for a dive to an artificial reef.

Where to Park Your RV

The Saltwater State Park is just a short drive south of the town center and is one of the most accessible parking places for your motorhome rental near Des Moines. No hookups are available here but there are showers, restrooms, and a dump station. The park offers close to 1,500 feet of Puget Sound's saltwater shoreline, making it an ideal ground to watch wading birds catch fish or watch salmon spawn at the McSorley Creek.

From Des Moines, a Sea-Tac Experience

Sit down to a meal of fresh seafood in the bustling Marina District in downtown. Locally owned specialty shops can be found alongside restaurants and bistros where you can tuck into fine or casual dining while enjoying the views. Asian cuisine (Chinese, Japanese, and Thai) are on offer in a few places along with American comfort food, Mexican fares, and Italian staples. Then walk off your dinner on the fishing pier as you watch boats dock into the 700-slip marina.

They were very responsive, and flexible. The van was very clean and in great condition. The van FWD and not built for snow so consider that when booking. There were also 4 of us and space was a bit tight but we did bring a lot of gear. Overall Amaya & RV is a great host and will take care of you. I recommend using them for your trip.

It was fabulous. We took a 10 day road trip during the fall to central Utah, and we enjoyed every minute of it.
