Where to Stay Near Lumen Field for the 2026 FIFA World Cup: RV Rentals

Because hotels near downtown and the waterfront will be highly priced during the tournament, RV travel offers:

Predictable accommodation costs

Hotels near Pike Place and the waterfront surge during tournament weeks, but RV sites keep your nightly rate steady.

Private kitchens and bathrooms for match day convenience

Brew coffee before early kickoffs, stash seafood from Pike Place Market, and shower off without sharing crowded facilities.

Scenic campgrounds near lakes, forests, mountains and beaches

Stay beside Puget Sound, Lake Sammamish, or the Cascade foothills while still being within an easy drive of downtown.

Flexibility to explore Washington State between matches

Use your rig to reach Mount Rainier, Olympic Peninsula beaches, or wine country between group-stage fixtures.

Easy travel south to Portland or north to Vancouver

Keep everything packed and drive I-5 to Portland or cross the border to Vancouver matches without booking new rooms.

Deliverable RV rentals for fans who prefer not to drive

Seattle-area owners can deliver and set up rigs at parks like Dash Point or Lake Pleasant so visitors can focus on tickets.

Long walks from downtown garages

Even prepaid garages often require 10 to 20 minute walks to the stadium gates.

Strict event-day neighborhood parking enforcement

Seattle Police aggressively ticket and tow cars parked in residential permit zones.

Early arrival is strongly recommended.

Plan to park several hours before kickoff to avoid gridlock and lengthy security lines.

RVs are not permitted in most parking lots around Lumen Field. Oversized vehicle options will be very limited.

Leave the RV at your campground

Campgrounds offer hookups and easy logistics, making them the best base during match days.

Drive a standard vehicle, use transit or rely on rideshare

Switch to a towed car, Link light rail, or rideshare to navigate Seattle’s narrow streets.

Do not attempt to park an RV in Pioneer Square or Stadium District

Large rigs will be turned away from historic blocks that lack adequate clearance.
