The Comprehensive Car/Camper/RV Overnight Camping Locale Thread

I've slept in a few parking lots. Most are already mentioned.

Snowbasin one of the upper lots
Kirkwood did allow as long as you stayed away from the edges of the lot.

**jmf** · 10-06-2009, 08:01 AM

The lot across from c-dot just above A-Basin is still good, but possibly only for one more season.

Not much in Aspen. You might be able to get away with it at the Intercept commuter lot outside Aspen(just across from entrance to snowmass village), the buses into town pick-up right there. I don't think it is really legit but I know lots of people that have left cars there for days on end. There are also some random spots in town you can get away with if you are sly about it.

When you sleep in parking lots, where do you wash your stank ass balls after a day of skiing? Sneak in to a shower/hot tub somewhere?

**Charles De Mar** · 10-07-2009, 07:58 PM

Taos: YES http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/carson/recre...p_map_east.gif

I could add a couple, but then I would have to kick my own ass.

In your mom's mouth.

No, really... Motel, hotel, bar pickup's house, friend's place, gym, college, hostel, fellow Mag's place, etc. etc. etc. Really anywhere that has a shower.

I would hope your stank ass wouldn't just jump in the hot tub...

Idaho-Bogus-Lot 2 and skier's lot, Brundage-yes

**noparking** · 10-08-2009, 08:36 AM

Mt. Hood Meadows I believe allows you to park at the end of the main lot overnight.

**Eldo** · 10-08-2009, 11:54 AM

^^^ Are you by any chance a golfer? Because that would make your user name rather witty.

Any chance we could get a "how to pimp your RV/campervan/etc" for ski use thread?

**Jack Daniels** · 11-01-2009, 01:39 PM

Anybody have any info on Revelstoke, I'm looking specifically at the Smokey Bear close to the gondola? They have monthly winter spots, just wondering what the scene is like.

As far as winterizing, I'm skirting the bottom of my trailer with 2" of that pink sheetboard insulation with plywood, and putting a base board heater under my washroom/plumbing. I've done it at my cabin for years and it works great for longer periods of parked time, but a little much for overnight.

Pebble creek is cool as long as you use the lower lot . No night bathroom..

**telehacker** · 11-01-2009, 06:41 PM

Pebble creek is cool as long as you use the lower lot . No night bathroom..Same deal if you ask that will put you in better standing with the plow driver.

**Buffalo Soldier** · 11-04-2009, 11:15 AM

Does anyone know of any spots up at Stevens it's cool to pitch a tent for a short time. I've got a contract break from work thru Jan 18 and would like to spend a week or two up there winter camping.

**Ccard257** · 11-04-2009, 11:30 AM

Copper--Corn lot when they're not trying to plow, usually works if you're DL

My buddy parks in the main lot right next to the bathrooms all weekend long with no problems.

**AltaBunny** · 11-04-2009, 11:33 AM

I camp at the top of the lift. I just pack my winter gear in my ski pack. Then I don't go down at the end of the day. They never find me.

**admx** · 11-04-2009, 02:31 PM

NY: Holiday Valley - Yes @ Wall Chair Lot; Power hook up for $$$

**_Aaron_** · 11-04-2009, 03:12 PM

NY

Plattekill is cool with car camping

**Rico in Flag** · 11-07-2009, 05:42 PM

Bump for some more intel...

How about Wolf Creek, CO? Ski area parking lots? Their website doesn't say anything. Or maybe N.F. roads on the east side of the pass?

jgb@etree · 11-13-2009, 06:39 AM

How about the parking lots of churches?
