Locally known as the “City of Destiny”, Tacoma is ideally situated along the Puget Sound banks. Stunning surroundings will stop any that lay their sights on this land where “rails meet sails.” Parks, gardens, and wilderness make up the natural wonders that easily boast this place as an outdoor enthusiast’s dream.

So much more lies beyond the city, and it doesn’t take a traveler long to fall into the natural rhythms of the forests and waterways. Traveling with an RV rental near Tacoma, WA means you’ve chosen to travel right, without all the hassles and anxieties that hotel stays demand. Don’t worry about deadlines; you check in and you check out where and when you want.

Book an RV in Pierce County to take in all the Tacoma and the surrounding Washington landscape has to offer!

Outside Of The Cities

Step outside of the city to nearby Mt. Rainier National Park. The national park is partly contained within Pierce County. An icon of Washington’s landscape, Mount Rainier is an active volcano and the most glaciated peak in the U.S. The icy volcano is ringed by wildflowers and cloaked in ancient forests with wildlife abound.

 

Three of the park’s campgrounds are RV-friendly; Cougar Rock, Ohanapecosh, and White River. The sites here have fantastic views! There are no hookups, however, water, flush toilets, fire pits, tables, and a dump station are provided.

You could spend weeks out here. There’s so much to do and so many sights to take in. If you don’t wish to visit the national park this time, be sure to stop at the nearby Capitol State Forest. It’s significantly smaller, so it’s much less overwhelming for any first-timers.

Less than 50 miles from Tacoma in Olympia, the Capitol State Forest is both a working, timber-producing forest as well as a well-used recreation destination. Trails, day-use areas, as well as campgrounds, are scattered about with access to hiking, mountain biking, ATV riding, horseback riding, and more! This is quite a popular spot for those who love everything equestrian. There are even campgrounds that are oriented for those traveling on horseback, with hitching posts and corals. Sites don’t appear to be RV-ready, so save this one for an active day trip and spend your night somewhere else. Luckily, it’s close by other premier destinations, so you won’t have to waste the day traveling. Have more fun wherever you go when you rent an RV in Tacoma!

Northwest of Tacoma is the Olympic National Forest. Here, diverse opportunities await all outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking among the alpine wildflowers, fishing in the rushing rivers, and taking in the sheer peace of the coastal rainforests will bring you the solitude you have been seeking. Dispersed camping is popular here, though, there are numerous, more developed campsites available for the Tacoma RV rental. Plenty of these sites allow for RV or camper stays but no hookups are advertised, so come prepared.

Connected to the national forest is the Olympic National Park. This is definitely a part of Washington where you will be glad to be traveling with a motorhome rental from Tacoma. With the best RV rental in Tacoma, you can stay where you want and go where the wild calls.

The national park encompasses nearly one million incredible acres. Diversity is what speaks to those who venture this way, with several distinct ecosystems held within the park. The mountain peaks, temperate rainforests, and miles upon miles of coast showcase many places to do many things. You won’t run out of untamed wilderness to explore!

Many of the campgrounds here accept RVs and campers, but may have sites that are limited to about 21 feet. Larger sites are available, with more information given per campground at the visitor centers and ranger stations. Most of the park sites do not have hookups, however, water and electrical hookups are available at the Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort or the Log Cabin Resort.
