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.

Steve was able to help with a SUPER last minute booking and we couldn't be happier. The van drove amazingly well, especially traversing through the windy PNW roads. Amble space for four adult males with more than adequate sleeping for all. Great interior space to move about in was key. Would not hesitate to rent again from Steve.

Ben was extremely communicative during the whole booking process and we couldn't have been happier. Though there was a small snag during our trip he was there helping out every step of the way. The van was CLEAN and as presented in the photos. We had a great time and it was really easy to move about with four adult males within the cabin. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Ben and the Silver Mullet.
