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.

I rented this van for a 19 day trip down the central oregon / california mountains, 6 days in Death Valley, then back up the pacific coast highway. I will rent this one again.
I slept in it every night for 19 straight nights. A friend joined me the last 7 days and we had one person sleeping downstairs on the convertible bench bed, one upstairs in the pop top.
This vehicle was fantastic - easy to drive on both highways and rough roads, very comfortable to sleep in. Homemade coffee each morning. Sufficient room for 2 people plus all our mountain biking gear.
It was very easy to maintain as well - simple to fill with water, simple to flush out the grey and black water tanks.
Poonam and Amardeep, the owners, were super responsive both before and during the rental period.

The van is a reliable and easy to drive for its size. The suspension was smooth on road and rugged off road. I felt comfortable in all types of terrain.
