RV rental Penrose Point State Park, WA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

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. Strolling along the sandy beach of glassy waters of Mayo Cove, you can peer into tide pools filled with colorful sea stars, crabs, and anemones. Watch for bald eagles perched in the Douglas firs and seals basking on the rocks. On a clear day, you'll see snow-capped Mount Rainier looming in the distance. At low tide, Penrose Point State Park is a goldmine for clams and oysters — perfect for enjoying a shellfish feast back at your campsite. You can also cast a line for crabs and saltwater fish. Don't forget to pick up a recreational license for fishing and shellfish harvesting. On a sunny day, the grassy knoll overlooking Carr Inlet is the perfect place to enjoy a picnic. You can also set up at the breezy day-use area featuring picnic tables, grills, and a restroom. More than two and a half miles of well-marked hiking trails wind through the forest and take you past towering Douglas fir, Pacific madrone, western red cedar, red alder, and big-leaf maple groves. Some of the steeper trails are popular with mountain bikers. For an easy hike, hit the self-guided A Touch of Nature interpretive trail. It was built by local scouts in 1982 and spotlights the local flora and fauna of the park. Birders will be in their element, with the chance to spot woodpeckers, bald eagles, and blue herons.
