Overnight Parking Policy

***NEW THIS SEASON 2024-2025 – OVERNIGHT PARKING SEASON PASS*** Please remember to check in with our Ticket Office. If the Ticket Office is closed, please check in with our Overnight Parking Attendant when they are doing their nightly checks.

Guests that wish to park their vehicles overnight must follow our policy as set by the MMC-Shames Mountain Board of Directors.

We are allowing:

  • Truck campers, Vans, and Small Motorhomes with a maximum length of 24 feet 
  • Standalone shelters, such as pop-up tents should be setup in a manner that fits within your one parking spot less than the 24-foot total length, and be securely anchored. 

Not allowed for the 24-25 season:

  • Tow behind Trailers, Busses, Motorhomes or any other vehicle longer than 24 feet.
  • Stand-alone structures cannot be left un-occupied overnight.  Stand-alone structures must be actively used and fit within your parking space with your vehicle.

Guests parking overnight will not have access to any of our facilities or staff members. We will leave one outdoor toilet unlocked. This toilet will be cleaned at the end of the workday, and will not be sanitized again until the next morning. It will be up to the overnight guests to use at their own risk, and keep it clean during the evenings.

Guests need to keep in mind that the loader will be out plowing our parking lots starting around 5 am. All guests parking are to have their area tidied up prior to 5:00 am on operating days.

MMC-Shames Mountain is not responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged items.
