We welcome RVs, trailers, campers, sprinters, mobile tiny homes, converted vans, pick-up trucks, and nearly every vehicle you are comfortable sleeping-in. If you have a fold-out tent affixed to your vehicle without a solid roof or siding, be aware that if it's snowing, has recently snowed, or might snow, you will be asked to close it up. We cannot risk your safety in a soft-sided tent when we're conducting snow removal operations.

Make sure your vehicle and your driving skills are prepared for winter conditions. Carry traction tires and/or chains as well as shovels and the appropriate gear for spring in the Cascades.

Except as noted above, we do not allow tent camping at Mt. Bachelor.

CHECK-IN: Your space will be available for check-in anytime after 5:00 p.m. Upon your arrival, please present your RV Camping Reservation confirmation to a Mt. Bachelor parking attendant to be checked in. Our staff will direct you to your overnight parking spot and help to answer any questions you may have about overnight camping.

Place your printed confirmation letter in your windshield. When setting up, please do not block roads or walkways and ensure you are within your designated space. If you are arriving after hours, please call our Public Safety department on 541-410-9220.

CHECK-OUT: Check-out time is 4:00 p.m. or earlier on the date of your scheduled departure. 

When checking in and out, please ALWAYS observe the 5 MPH SPEED LIMIT. Treat the camping area like your neighborhood and keep an eye out for kids (and big kids) at play.

During winter snowstorms, the snow removal team may need to clear the area prior to occupying the site or may request that you move your RV for plowing during your reservation.

If you need to cancel your Overnight RV Camping reservation, please contact us at info@mtbachelor.com with a minimum of 72 hours notice. If not, it is considered a no-show. While there will be NO REFUNDS issued for any RV camping cancellations (regardless of when the reservation is canceled), you will avoid the penalties incurred by failing to show up and check-in for your reservation. See our full No-Show Policy below.

All canceled reservations will be returned to the available inventory pool on our online booking system. By canceling as far in advance as possible you will give another fellow camper, friend, or neighbor the chance to experience RV camping at Mt. Bachelor!

RV CAMPING NO-SHOW POLICY:

No-shows will forfeit 100% of the reservation product cost and any future reservations made under the same name or vehicle will be subject to penalties for failing to cancel in advance:

• First No-Show: You will receive a courtesy reminder email
• Second No-Show: All your future booked reservations will be cancelled and returned to general inventory with no refund given

In an effort to offer equal access and a greater chance for everyone in the recreational vehicle & car camping community to experience Overnight RV Camping at Mt. Bachelor, we have made changes to our booking & cancellation policy. 

In the past, the reservation system was set up in a way that reduced the number of options for our guests. By implementing a new NO REFUND policy for Overnight RV Camping reservation cancellations, penalizing no-shows, and releasing additional inventory on a weekly rolling basis, we expect there to be more availability and a greater opportunity for all guests to reserve a spot since the new system encourages guests to only book reservations for dates they fully intend to show up for.

Your reservation can accommodate up to two (2) vehicles, however all vehicles and equipment must be kept within your site's space and an "Additional Vehicle" add-on product must be purchased at time of booking. See more details and policies about add-on vehicles below. 

ADDITIONAL VEHICLE POLICIES:

• Any vehicle towing another vehicle is considered “one unit”, and there will NOT be an additional charge.
• Only one additional vehicle, driven separately from RV, is permitted per overnight RV reservation and must be registered and paid for during original booking.
• Any "add-on" passenger vehicles that are not accompanied by a RV or that do not have their own overnight camping reservation will be denied access to the parking lot and will be treated as a no-show reservation.
• Additional vehicles are not to be occupied overnight. For additional vehicle for overnight occupancy, a separate camping reservation must be made.
• All vehicles, campers, and equipment must be kept within each site's respective dimensions. 

Mt. Bachelor will be open for general public daily access and operations for the Winter 26/27 season from December 4, 2026, through May 31, 2027 (Weather Permitting). All buildings in the West Village base area will be open during normal operating hours — see full schedule here.

Uphill travel is permitted during our winter operating season, but is restricted to the following routes listed on our Uphill Travel Policy page. Overnight RV campers may hike outside of West Village gate operating hours (i.e. prior to 7:00 a.m.). Please use caution and respect Mt. Bachelor Mountain Operations crews at work and all closed areas within the Mt. Bachelor permit area that are defined by, but not limited to "CLOSED" signs on trails, rope lines, and where heavy machinery is active or present.

Patrol services is available from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m within the ski area boundary on days of operation only. Otherwise, all terrain is uncontrolled and unpatrolled — in case of an emergency, call 911 for assistance from Search and Rescue. 

Yes! We love dogs at Mt. Bachelor, but we love them the most when they’re on leash. To ensure fun and safety for all, please make sure they are secured to you or your site by a lead no more than six (6) feet long and supervised at all times. During the winter season, dogs are not allowed on the skiing slopes of Mt. Bachelor for their safety, as well as yours, that of other guests, and our working avalanche rescue dogs.

Please do not leave your pets tied to your vehicle while you ski or snowboard during the winter season, and do not leave them unattended in your car while visiting in the late spring. Even at our higher elevation, temperatures can soar and dogs can perish in a hot vehicle.

Please be respectful of our mountain environment, and your fellow RV Campers and pick up after your dog. There is a designated Dog Park located in the Northwest corner of the West Village lot where your well-behaved pups are free to play off-leash. Learn more about the Mt. Bachelor Dog Park on our Pet Policy page.

Yes, you can run any whisper-light generator from 7:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. throughout the RV Camping area, noting this must remain under 60 decibels to be in compliance with noise ordinance. The hum of generators becomes annoying over a long period of time. Please keep your neighbors in mind. We recommend generators that are sound insulated.

T.R. refers to Transient Room, and is a tax paid by people staying overnight in lodging establishments/transient lodging for a period of up to 30 consecutive calendar days in unincorporated areas (such as outside of Bend, Sunriver, Sisters, and La Pine city limits).
