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.

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.

Sean was great! He was able to rent to me on short notice and accommodated a night time pick up so I could go on my trip!

Although we were Jamie’s first customers, I could have sworn he had done this a bunch of times.
He was always available to us with questions regarding the van, getting advice, and guidance
The van itself is amazing. It’s long enough that it has a great bed and enough space for cook and live in - but not too long to park basically anywhere.
This van is a beast, with the off-road wheels we could go anywhere and with the 80 liter water tank we could stay off road for weeks, filling up occasionally. The battery system is great, the solar panels add extra juice to the three 14-volt batteries which are more than enough to cook and keep the van cool/warm.
We would rent this van again in a heartbeat, driving across the PNW and Rockies.
Overall I would recommend to anyone to rent from Jamie - short or long trip like ours- for the best possible vanlife experience.

Great hosts, and the converted bus was so fun to drive and hang out in. Very comfy bed, and extra space for lounging. Loved it!
