With more than two miles of coastal shoreline to explore along Mayo Cove and Carr Inlet, Penrose Point State Park is a fantastic place to discover the Pacific Northwest.

Had a great experience, Cynthia was very communicative on pickup/dropoff. The heater was not working but we were provided with a space heater that was more than adequate to heat the 18' trailer. I would rent from Cynthia and her spouse again.

Jay was an amazing host! He was very communicative and polite. He showed me everything I needed to know about the camper. The camper came fully stocked with blankets, pillows, chairs, and kitchen supplies. I highly recommend renting this camper!

We had a very comfortable and enjoyable time in Melinda's RV. It was our first time using an RV of this kind - everything was straight forward to use. If we're heading to anywhere in Washington again, we'd love to hire Melinda's RV again, thank you!
