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 such an amazing experience with this camper van on our weekend trip to Deception Pass. From the moment we picked it up, we could tell how well cared for it was. The van was spotless inside and out — probably one of the cleanest rentals we’ve ever stayed in. Everything felt fresh, organized, and thoughtfully prepared, which made settling in so easy and relaxing.
The comfort level was beyond what we expected. The bed was cozy, the seating area was comfortable, and there was plenty of room for all of our things without ever feeling cramped. It honestly felt like a little home on wheels. Every detail seemed designed to make traveling easy and stress-free.
Driving to and around Deception Pass was effortless in this van. It handled beautifully, was easy to park, and made the whole adventure even more enjoyable. Waking up surrounded by nature while still having all the comforts we needed was the perfect combination.
This van truly made our weekend unforgettable. If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped camper for a road trip or outdoor getaway, this is absolutely the one to book. We would rent it again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend it highly enough.

This was our 2nd time renting and the mammoth did not disappoint! Our kids loved the roof top tent and the kitchen set up outdoors made it easy to watch them while fixing up breakfast. JP is a great host and super responsive. I highly recommend this trailer rental! Perfect for anyone really!

We had an awesome experience renting Carrie’s Sprinter van for our 4-day trip through Olympic National Park. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and flexible, and you can tell she genuinely cares about making sure people have a great trip.
