Why is it worth booking a campervan in Seattle early?

The best time for a road trip in a camper rental from Seattle is between May and October but with many other travelers wanting to take advantage of the good weather, this is the peak period for campervan hire. To be sure of getting the best price-vehicle combo and your preferred dates, CamperDays recommends making your reservation several months in advance.

Handy hints for your trip to Seattle

June, July, and August are amongst the best times of year to rent a motorhome in Seattle and explore the mountains and national parks. Rainfall is low, and Seattle and its surrounding areas enjoy high levels of uninterrupted sunshine, perfect for taking in those magnificent views. July and August only average 5-6 days of rain, and the ambient temperature is a comfortable 20-25 degrees. Seattle is infamously rainy outside the main season, so stick to the summer months.

Best campervan routes in Seattle

Mount Rainier National Park
Just under two hours southeast of Seattle, Mount Rainier National Park has jaw-dropping scenery, including waterfalls, mountains, and wildflower meadows. Officially classified as 97% wilderness, this is the place to return to nature, a haven for hikers and bikers, and a picture-postcard backdrop for campervan hire in Seattle. For the most scenic driving route, take the WA-7S and WA-706E, a distance of 154 kilometres.

Snoqualmie Falls
Visit after heavy rain or snow to see them at their most impressive. Named after the Snoqualmie Tribe, the falls are perfect to head to after you hire a campervan in Seattle, as they are just half an hour east of the city at a distance of 54 kilometres. The most direct route is the I-90 heading east. If you're heading back to Seattle, take the 203 to Duvall, then across to Woodinville, and back to the city via the 405. The 203 is a beautiful highway with stunning scenery and interesting stopping places.

Leavenworth
Leavenworth is a Bavarian-themed town just over two hours' drive from Seattle and 217 kilometres. This picturebook Alpine wonderland is a great visit during the autumn months and around Christmas, but beyond the town, the area is renowned for hiking during all four seasons. The most direct route from Seattle to Leavenworth is on the I-90 E and then the US-97 N. However, if you want to make a more extended, scenic trip, there is another route past Rimrock Lake, Narada Falls and Mount Rainier National Park, which is 547 kilometres and takes between six and seven hours. Motorhome for hire in Seattle makes this scenic journey even more fun.

Sites of interest and excursions in Seattle

Olympic National Park
Rent a campervan in Seattle and head to Olympic National Park. Olympic National Park is a spectacular wilderness, and a campervan is the perfect touring vehicle to view the ancient forests, including the Hoh Rain Forest, with a river valley so quiet it is known as the most silent place in the country. Enjoy remote beaches with views of the mountains. If you join a guided tour, there are interpretive nature walks with knowledgeable naturalist guides.

Seattle Coastline
If you like mountains with your beaches, then the coastline around Seattle ticks all the boxes. There are exceptional wildlife spotting opportunities, including whales, golden eagles, mountain lions, elk, and grey wolves, plus sea cave kayaking for the adventurous.

Victoria, Canada
Visit the capital of British Columbia, and don't forget your passport! Victoria is laid-back and old-fashioned compared to Seattle, with plenty of evidence of its British history with double-decker buses and cafes serving afternoon tea. Located on Vancouver Island, Victoria is known as Canada's Garden City because of its flowers and gardens and has the mildest climate of any Canadian location.
