Overnight RV Parking
RV travellers looking for an affordable, hassle-free alpine escape can wake up to cool mountain air at 5,500 ft and stay just moments from all of Big White’s summer activities. Park your self-contained RV or camper in the Black Forest parking area and enjoy a budget-friendly basecamp with quick access to downhill biking, hiking, disc golf, scenic chairlift rides, and on-mountain dining. Just 24 km up the paved Big White Road from Highway 33 and a short walk or 2-minute drive to the Village, this no-frills, first-come-first-served RV area is ideal for guests who want low-cost camping with high-value adventure, free Village parking, nearby washroom facilities on select days, and relaxed evenings unwinding under the stars.
