The Great Outdoors

There are so many delightful things to see and places to visit when you rent an RV in Spanaway, or anywhere in Washington for that matter. The state is among the most naturally beautiful places you could imagine, known for its rich evergreen forests and colossal mountain peaks. A fine place to start your trip right is Alder Lake Park, located south of Spanaway on the shores of Alder Lake. The lake itself is quite gorgeous, with shimmering waters that reflect the massive mountains in the background. There are several campgrounds and day use areas at Alder Lake, with lots of winding trails for hiking and mountain biking. Camping out in your Spanaway camper rental is an excellent way to reach a state of relaxation, and bathing in the fresh lake water is a nice way to cool off in the summertime. Lake Tapps Park is another local lakefront park with lots of fun activities. There are exquisite beaches, BBQ grills, picnic areas, pavilions, grassy fields, and even boat launches to help people bring their watercraft to the lake.

RV Friendly

When you first arrive in town and pick up your Spanaway camper rental, you’ll want to get situated and find where you will be staying before you do anything else.

My son and I really enjoyed our recent trip in this radical van! Our favorite part was watching a movie at night with the heater keeping us toasty. Thankfully there are helpful videos on how to use the camper and I would recommend making sure to watch them before heading on your trip.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful RV! It was perfect for our snowboarding trip to Packwood. The RV was spacious with the bump-out, a comfortable master bed, and a nice-sized bathroom. We thoroughly enjoyed the fireplace, being able to stream a movie at night, and having our small pups with us which was a huge plus. Playing poker in the evenings was also a lot of fun.
Ben was an excellent host—very communicative, flexible, and quick to answer any questions.
The RV was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We would happily stay again and highly recommend it!
