Discover Des Moines RV rentals for memorable road trips
Halfway between Seattle and Tacoma, Des Moines, WA, gently tumbles down to the waters of Puget Sound from a modest elevation of 100 feet. The sun slips behind the Olympic Mountains if viewed from the town's fishing piers and boardwalk. And while surrounded by suburbs and the SeaTac International Airport, Des Moines is packed with numerous public parks and beaches and exudes a bustling small-town feel.

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.

We had an amazing tour of the Olympic Peninsula. The van was clean, well-equipped and maintained. The host Josh had great communication, and responded very quickly to the couple of questions that came up during our journey.

The title for this review is... I would absolutely do it again!
This was my first RV rental and had my fingers crossed that the experience would be easy and fun. I'm happy to say that going through Outdoorsy and coordinating with Scot was exactly that! This trip was 4 days at Taidnapam Park in Washington State. I was attending an event sponsored by my employer and from being able to sort options, by amenities like A/C and if it could be delivered to the specific park I was going to be at, was a HUGE time saver. I also loved the fact that the cost of delivery was INCLUDED in the estimated rental cost of my search results. I decided on Scot's 30' 2024 Jayco travel trailer for several reasons. A few of the most important were... 1. I was planning to travel with my sister & best friend, so I was looking for multiple adult sleeping areas. 2. Kitchen area that we could use to prep for individual and potluck style meals. 3. Comfortable seating options. A bonus criteria was overall appearance. This RV was a homerun on everything I was looking for. There were (3) Queen beds; including bunkbeds at the back. It was nice that there were windows on both levels and even the bottom bunk had ok headroom. The master bed was very comfortable, but the bunkbed mattresses were a little thin. I would recommend bringing individual camp sleeping pads for people using these beds. The kitchen area was amazing! Somewhat limited counter space, but the dinette is convenient for prep with the provided cutting boards, bowls, knives & utensils. This set up had the added bonus of keeping the combined living area open & usable while letting you still feel like you were hanging with the group. AND there is a very roomy refrigerator and freezer unit inside and a small fridge in the outdoor kitchen area and a decent sized pantry. We had plenty of room for our food & snacks. Regarding appearance, the pictures show it how it really is. It is well maintained and gave us that Glamping feel. Last note, Scot was easy to communicate with and very responsive to questions. The drop off & pick up were problem free. Great experience and I highly recommend this specific RV & host!

Such an easy process working with Dan and Andy. The RV was perfect for our weekend at Lake Wenatchee. Every part of the process was stress free.
