RV, Motorhome and Camper Van Rental in Washington
The choice runs from compact camper vans that suit both Seattle’s city streets and mountain-pass driving to full-size Class A motorhomes with a kitchen, bathroom and slide-outs. A camper van is the easier choice around Seattle’s denser neighborhoods; a larger motorhome is fine on I-5 near Seattle and I-90 near Spokane, the state’s main corridors. Seattle and Spokane sit about 4.5 hours apart across the Cascades, a genuine mountain crossing rather than a quick hop.
Rental cost depends mainly on vehicle class, season and rental length — a camper van is consistently the cheaper option, a Class A or large travel trailer the most expensive, and per-night rates usually drop the longer you book. Summer, the driest and most reliable season statewide, pushes demand and prices up; enter your dates above for a live quote rather than a generic average.
Pickup cities in Washington
- Seattle — the western gateway, closest to the Olympic Peninsula, Mount Rainier and the San Juan Islands.
- Spokane — the Inland Northwest base, closest to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho and the drier eastern half of the state.
Best road trips in Washington
- Mount Rainier National Park — about 2 hours from Seattle. An active volcano and the most glaciated peak in the contiguous US, with wildflower meadows in summer.
- Olympic National Park — about 2–2.5 hours from Seattle plus a ferry crossing. Rainforest, mountains and rugged coast in one park, genuinely varied terrain.
- North Cascades National Park — about 2.5–3 hours from Seattle, closer to 5 hours from Spokane. Considerably wilder and less visited than Washington’s other national parks.
- Coeur d’Alene, Idaho — about 33 miles from Spokane, under an hour. Lake Coeur d’Alene and the Centennial Trail, an easy cross-state-line add-on.
- The San Juan Islands — ferry access from north of Seattle. A relaxed, island-hopping alternative to the mainland’s bigger parks.
Driving across Washington
Interstate 90 climbs through Snoqualmie Pass near Seattle and further passes continue toward Spokane — manageable for most rigs in summer but worth checking mountain-pass conditions in shoulder season, since the Cascades and the Inland Northwest both see genuine winter snow from November through March. Seattle’s side of the state is genuinely wet much of the year, especially October through April; Spokane’s semi-arid climate is drier and sees hotter summers and colder winters than the coast. Late summer, particularly August, can bring wildfire smoke to the Inland Northwest from fires across the region.
When to travel
July through September is peak season statewide — the driest, most reliable stretch of weather on the western side and the warmest on the eastern side. Spring and fall bring more rain to Seattle but are still workable; winter camping is limited, especially at higher elevations, with mountain passes occasionally closing for snow.

RV rental Washington — FAQs
Which Washington city should I pick up from for Mount Rainier or the Olympic Peninsula?
Seattle, by a wide margin — both are within about 2–2.5 hours, compared to a genuine mountain crossing from Spokane.
Is wildfire smoke a concern for a Washington RV trip?
It can be in late summer, particularly August, mainly affecting the Inland Northwest around Spokane. Check current air quality before a trip planned for that window.
Where can I pick up an RV in Washington?
Owners and operators list vehicles around Seattle and Spokane, with the widest choice near each metro. Widening your search radius shows the full spread of vehicles near you.
When is the North Cascades Highway (SR 20) open for an RV trip?
Only seasonally. SR 20 is one of five Washington routes that close in winter, because Washington Pass and Rainy Pass get deep snow and avalanches. WSDOT figures give a median first opening of about 21 April and a median closure of about 24 November, but it varies each year. Check WSDOT conditions before you plan a loop through North Cascades National Park. See the WSDOT pass page.
Can I take an RV camping in Olympic National Park?
Yes, with limits. Kalaloch, Mora, Hoh Rain Forest and Fairholme campgrounds list a maximum RV length of 21 feet, with some sites up to 35 feet, and offer no full hookups. Sol Duc Hot Springs RV Park has water and electric for RVs of 26 to 36 feet. Reservations are required in summer through Recreation.gov. See the Olympic camping page.
