The resort’s page doesn’t say which season these rules are for. They were current on the page when we checked.
What does parking cost on your day?
Meadows doesn’t charge for parking, but every lot needs an Oregon Sno-Park permit from Nov 1 to Apr 30. The state lists permits at $4 a day, $9 for three days or $25 a year, and sellers may add a service fee. The resort sells them on site.
Nov 1 to Apr 30 (Sno-Park permit season)
When the Main lot fills you’re sent to the Sunrise lot, then Hood River Meadows (HRM), with shuttle buses every 10 to 15 minutes back to the lodges. If every lot is closed, one usually reopens by mid-afternoon, and you can sign up for text alerts.
- Parking in an Oregon Sno-Park without a permit can bring a $30 fine.
- If you take a drop-off pass and then park in a closed lot, your car can be booted, with a $150 fee to remove it.
- The FAQ still mentions 2024–25 dates for buses and the drop-off program, so check for this season’s updates.
