Mt. Bachelor hasn’t posted its 2026–27 parking details yet, so this page shows last season’s rules. Expect changes and check the resort’s page before you go.
The resort’s own pages disagree on some details. See what they say.
General parking in the West Village, Sunrise and Skyliner lots is always free. Premium spots near the lifts cost extra and need a reservation. Last season they cost $20 Monday to Thursday, $30 on Fridays, $40 on weekends and school breaks and $50 on holidays, and the resort hasn’t posted 2026–27 rates yet.
The resort says its three lots have room for everyone. You can also ride the Mt. Bachelor shuttle from Bend, run by Cascades East Transit.
- All cars must leave by 5pm, and you can’t park overnight without an RV camping reservation.
- Premium parking check-in runs from 8am to noon. Arrive later and you lose the spot with no refund.
- Opening day is scheduled for Dec 4, 2026.
Where the official pages disagree
The parking page says all parking areas stay open through the last day of the season, and in another answer says the Sunrise lots close April 19 while the others stay open.
