Overnight Parking – Occupied Vehicles
We have a limited number of sites available at our Heather Meadows and White Salmon Parking lots for overnight parking during the winter season. ALL vehicles staying overnight in those lots MUST have reservations, including unattended cars. Bear in mind that this is not a traditional RV campground – Mt. Baker gets the most annual average snowfall of any ski area in North America and these unique conditions mean that all Overnight Parking users are required to be familiar with, and adhere to, all of the Overnight Parking policies and guidelines.
BOOK YOUR RESERVATIONS NOW AT THE LINKS BELOW!
Arrival Time: 5:00 – 10:00 pm
Departure Time: NO LATER than 4:30 pm
Upon Arrival: Park in your reserved site within your allotted space. While sites are numbered, the exact location and/or site number visibility may be obstructed or changed due to weather/snow conditions. If your site is unavailable, park in an area designated on the map that correlates best with your site number. Please wait to detach trailers until an attendant checks you in if possible. If you will be arriving later than 10:00 pm, please contact overnightparking@mtbaker.us or call between 3:00 pm – 8:00 pm to make special arrangements.
Early Arrivals (before 5:00 pm): If you arrive during daytime operations, please check with a parking lot attendant on the best place to park. You may need to park temporarily and then move your rig to your reserved site at 5:00 pm. Depending on traffic, your site may not be available to you prior to check-in time. Be aware that weekends and holidays can reach capacity and it may be extremely difficult or not possible to navigate or park a large vehicle if arriving before 5:00 pm.
Departure time: no later than 4:30 pm. Be aware that depending on snow conditions, snow removal operations, and/or traffic, you may not be able to leave your site prior to approximately 3:00 pm. If you have an emergency and need to leave prior to then, please make arrangements at the Ticket Office admin office.
We highly suggest arriving prior to 7:00 pm if possible. The WSDOT does not plow the highway past 3:30 pm, and there can be a lot of snowfall after that time. So for your safety and ease of driving, we suggest arriving prior to 7:00 pm. Check the WSDOT link on the left for official road conditions.
If you will be arriving later than 10:00 pm, please contact us at overnightparking@mtbaker.us to make special arrangements.
