Ready to hit the slopes? Skiing is a good exercise, a great adrenaline rush and a fun way to connect with nature.
It’s also, as you may know, mad expensive. But staying onsite in your RV rental can be a great deal more affordable than staying in an upscale lodge or hotel.
To offset those high costs — and keep you as cozy as possible — we found 10 ski resorts and areas that allow you to park your RV in their lot overnight. Staying in your rig is going to be a lot more affordable than getting a room — not to mention a whole lot more comfortable.
Ready to turn your RV into your own personal ski chalet? Here’s where to camp.
Ski Resorts with RV Hookups
Need power? These resorts offer plug-and-play hookups to adventurous RVers — emphasis on the “play.”
1. Crystal Mountain Resort, Washington
Located in the picturesque Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest near Mount Rainier, Crystal Mountain Resort in Washington state has its stuff together when it comes to welcoming RVers with open arms. It’s just added 30 extra-wide sites for a total of 70, almost half of which offer 50-amp hookups.
The cost is $55 per night, with peak rates during most of the winter season reaching $115 for 30-amp and $125 for 50-amp sites. And should powered sites fill up, they’ve got an overflow lot as well. There’s no water or dump station available on-site, however, so be sure to fill up and empty out before you settle in!
Best of all, you’ll likely find a ski buddy or two. “The RV lot is like a small mountain community,” reads the resort’s website. “You’ll meet new people and make new friends in no time.”
2. Stevens Pass, Washington
With well over a thousand acres and lots of trails and training geared to get beginners’ on their feet in no time, Stevens Pass is a great place to take on the slopes no matter what your level.
There are 40-foot spaces and 30-foot spaces available in their RV Lot, but note that reservations are required. RV spaces are $55 and offer 30 amp electric hook ups. RVs must be self-contained as there are no water or sewer hookups. Each space is allowed one additional vehicle.
3. Willamette Pass Resort, Oregon
Willamette Pass Resort offers overnight RV parking for $30 per day for spots with electrical hookups and $15 per day for those without. Reservations must be made in person at the Guest Services desk by obtaining an overnight parking permit. Parking is on a first-come, first-served basis, with no guaranteed availability until payment is made. Campers must park closely, occupying only one space, with any accompanying vehicle parked in front rather than beside it. Additionally, campers must be occupied overnight in case the vehicle needs to be moved, and unattended overnight parking is not allowed.
