RV camping near Renton

South of Seattle in the greater Seattle metropolitan area, Renton offers quick and easy access to both urban attractions and Lake Washington. RV parks sit in and around the city center, but if you want something less urban, you're better off heading further afield to a Hipcamp RV campsite in the wooded areas around town. Good areas to consider include the East Renton Highlands and the southern part of Renton near Lake Youngs. Other areas with solid options include Sammamish, northeast of Renton, and Hobart, to the southeast. If you'd prefer to camp in a state park, your closest bets are Saltwater State Park and Dash Point State Park, both shorefront options on the way to Tacoma. Look out for campsites with RV-friendly amenities such as water and electric RV hookups, toilet access, picnic tables, and firepits.

Traveler and Visitors welcome - Enjoy a peaceful stay in a quiet, safe, upscale neighborhood with expansive territorial views of Puget Sound. Both sites are semi private , with 30amp RV outlets, sewage, and water spigots with hose. This space is ideal for a sprinter van or a small RV. Smoking is not allowed, not on the property, and not on the street in front of the property. The neighborhood is low traffic for walking with fantastic Salish sea views, and a beach. Redondo boardwalk, aquarium, and beach is a short drive away for easy water access. A Starbucks, Grocery Store, Laundromat, and gym are a 1 mile, quick bike ride or drive away. The Pacific Bonsai Museum is 6 miles away, and a free experience that most visitors find surprisingly interesting. Sea-Tac Airport is 23 minutes away without traffic. I strive to live and promote a peaceful and inclusive space. Good Karma and good vibes are welcome. My neighbor has two outdoor dogs, so if you have pets it’s important to manage them to keep barking to a minimum. I work as a metal artist out of my garage studio. Welding is not noisy but, grinding and cutting can be. I limit it to 9-8pm, but can easily shift to other quiet tasks if you ask. * This is a safe neighborhood, but still an in-city experience, so be sure to secure you valuables.

Wintertime brings geese, many types of ducks, gulls, swans, Northern Shrikes, Peregrine Falcons, and some Rough-legged Hawks. This location is near U.S. National Forest extending more than 140 miles along the western slopes of the Cascade Range from the Canada–US border to the northern boundary of Mount Rainier National Park. John Muir once wrote, "In every walk with nature, one receives far more than they seek." Embark on a poetic journey at Carnation Moss Forest and let the beauty of the Pacific Northwest inspire your artistic nature. We recommend a 2-night stay so you can enjoy these woods and the area. CMF / MMF just opened and we really want your feedback about how we may improve your experience here. #findyourselfoutside Because Life Is Too Short to Live It From Inside a Computer #highwaytomore

4 nights at Highland Park Hideaway

Totally positive experience with our host and his property. Clean, excellent water and electric, covered in case of rain, centrally located with easy access to ferry, downtown and Mount Rainier. Quiet neighborhood surrounded by park, beach and stores. We had a broken appliance in our camper that needed a quick replacement part via mail order and Patrick graciously let us take delivery at the site. Highly recommended!

Weekend Trip to Skokomish Park At Lake Cushman

Beautiful campsite right on the lake with gorgeous views. It was easy to load in and out, which made setup and packing a breeze. The staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodating throughout our stay. The bathrooms were conveniently located and exceptionally clean. We'd happily stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Tahuya Adventure Resort

This is a sweet place. Bathrooms are wonderful. The community kitchen and all they provide goes above and beyond. The tents look pretty awesome as well. And if you live off tossing it is a dream.

Everyone was very kind and helpful. The pull thru RV spots have no shade but were perfect for us newbies. Enjoyed the dock and amenities. Check out the trail behind the lodge too!

We needed a last minute stay in Seattle and Patrick's spot was perfect! Patrick was very communicative and we enjoyed sitting by the garden in the evening.

3 nights at Roughin' It RV Park

The location is excellent, it’s private and secluded however, minutes from the lake and store. The area had plenty of room to pull in and out the camper. Plus, plenty of room for tent. There’s a beautiful gazebo with evening lights that sets a relaxing atmosphere. The third night the golf course had a glow in the dark evening session. It was fun to see all the golf carts lit up in different neon lights from afar. There’s a large double gated fence that keeps your stay private and safe.

Weekend Trip to The Glen - Olympic Peninsula RV

This was our first time staying at The Glen and we LOVED it. We will definitely be back. Friendly, helpful staff with very clean, well maintained facilities. During our stay they had a limited supply of fresh cinnamon rolls in the morning from a local place and they were the perfect way to start our day. The indoor hot tub, showers, and bathrooms were all super clean and well stocked. The back in RV sites offer full hook ups and ours was by the creek which was lovely to listen to during the day. The grounds were surprisingly quiet, even though it was almost full. Everyone was very respectful and friendly. They have a wonderful trail along the creek through the forest, which we really enjoyed. On Saturday night they played the classic Willy Wonka movie on the lawn and had popcorn for everyone. Overall, this was a memorable stay and we cannot wait to go back.

Cindy and Robert were absolutely awesome! They put a lot of time and hard work into their property and it shows. Power water, and sewer. Deer coming into the campsite. A nice quiet place to sit back and read a book.

3 nights at Peaceful Olympic Peninsula RV Sites

We camped for 3 nights at site E. The sites are clean and well leveled on gravel and the property was quiet, well maintained and deer friendly. The owners home is on site and they are friendly and helpful if you need them but also non-intrusive. With full hookups this was a good place to base at for exploring the area!
