When you think of accommodations with sweeping water views, you probably think of a 5-star hotel with a sky-high price tag. But the truth is, RV life and RV camping have never been more popular, and not just among retirees. And if you saw some of the campgrounds some of them parked in, you might start to consider it yourself.

Recently, Travel + Leisure composed a list of the nine most beautiful campgrounds in the U.S. Unsurprisingly, the Salt Creek Recreation Area and Campground made the list.

The Salt Creek Recreation Area is located about 15 miles west of Port Angeles on the stunning Olympic Peninsula.

Katie and Phil H / TripAdvisor This place is an absolute paradise for nature lovers, especially those who can appreciate sea life.

At low tide, the tide-pooling here is absolutely unreal.

Moyshe O / TripAdvisor From starfish to sea urchins, you never know what you’ll see in the tide pools.

This place is so breathtaking, you won’t want to leave when the sun goes down.

The campground at Salt Creek is open year-round, although it’s obviously the busiest during the summer and early fall.

Loreen P / TripAdvisor There are a total of 92 campsites here, with two of them being fully ADA accessible.

Travel + Leisure called this place “one of the most visually stunning RV campgrounds in the U.S.” – and we have to agree.

Mootle / TripAdvisor No matter where you park, you’ll be surrounded by beauty.

This is the view from the main campground, which sits on a bluff above the water.
