Discover Saltwater State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips
Located in the scenic state of Washington is where you will find the beachfront Saltwater State Park, an 88-acre marine camping park designated as a "Marine Protected Area." An ideal getaway to the edge of Washington’s largest urban area, it"s very easily accessible, just off Interstate 5. A unique aspect of the park’s location is the fact that it’s at the halfway mark between the cities of Tacoma and Seattle, where both cities decided to literally "bury the hatchet" of a long-standing competition that prevailed between the cities: the hatchet is indeed buried under a rock in the park.

Camping at Saltwater State Park
Planning to do a little RV camping at Saltwater State Park? Head to the park’s campsite, equipped with about 50 sites for RV parking. There are pull-thru sites, but no electricity. Tent camping is an option here. There are restrooms with showers, a dump station, and decent cell phone connectivity.
Exploring the Area
Once you’ve finished exploring the state park, head to the town of Des Moines, where there’s quite a bit to take in. As most of the town is located along Puget Sound, take a moment to visit the recreational marina that offers pier fishing, boat launching, and moorage. Check out Redondo Beach, which is close by and worth visiting for its scenic vistas along the waterfront. The stunning views of the Olympic Mountains from the shores of Des Moines is something you wouldn’t want to miss on your RV rental trip. Head to the Des Moines Beach Park that served as the site of the town’s first sawmill, and is home to many historical buildings, a bike path, and the beach.

This was our first time renting a sprinter van so we didn’t know what to expect. We loved how easy it was to get around and really explore Olympic National Park. The only issue we had was with the lithium battery wasn’t charging. Roger and Cari were able to do a work around on that and we had a generator. We did have to use the generator each night to keep the charge since we weren’t at sites that had electric hook up. It worked out but took a little planning. The van was easy to drive and we had no problems and there were a lot of nice features.

I had an amazing experience renting this RV! It was one of the easiest RVs I've ever driven. It handled beautifully, was easy to park, and I felt completely comfortable behind the wheel almost immediately, even in a torrential downpour.

We had the best time on our trip visiting Olympic National Park. The van made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. Jacob, the host, was very responsive and the videos he put up of how to operate the van were very helpful! Van was clean and easy to use. Would definitely recommend!
