RV Rentals Rose Bowl Game

Rose Bowl Stadium, Pasadena, CA, US

Rose Bowl Stadium is located at 1001 Rose Bowl Drive in Pasadena, California, and is most easily reached via the I-210 Foothill Freeway, the main artery running through the Pasadena area. Coming from the west or the San Fernando Valley, take I-134 East to I-210 East; from Downtown Los Angeles, head north on I-110 and connect to I-210 East toward Pasadena. Once on I-210, exit at Berkshire Ave, Arroyo Blvd, or Mountain St and follow event signage to the designated RV lots. Keep in mind that game day road closures related to the Rose Parade can affect GPS routing, so plan your approach in advance and allow extra time for the drive in. On-site and adjacent RV parking is available at Brookside Park and through the reserved lots managed by LAZ Parking, with RV-specific areas clearly marked. Arriving the evening before gives you the best chance to secure a prime spot close to the stadium before the lots fill up on game day.

The RV was as expected. I would direct anyone to them if they need to rent an RV. Very respectable and courteous.

Robert B. - May 2026

We rented this RV for our first Stagecoach trip, and it was a fantastic experience. The owners were incredibly kind, warm, communicative, and very first-time renter friendly. They even accommodated a last-minute request for us, which we really appreciated and speaks to how helpful and flexible they are. Since renting an RV comes with a bit of a learning curve, I definitely recommend watching the video links they provide and maybe a few extra YouTube tutorials before your trip. That said, whenever we had questions, the owners were quick to respond and super helpful. The RV itself was spacious and very comfortable for my husband and me. I’m also a bit of a germaphobe, so cleanliness is a big deal to me. I brought Clorox wipes expecting to do a deep clean, but I was pleasantly surprised at how clean it already was—even in the little nooks and crannies where you’d normally expect dust or grime. It was also well stocked with essentials like RV toilet paper, cleaning supplies, a fire extinguisher, and smoke/carbon monoxide alarms, which gave us extra peace of mind. Some of the sensors were a little finicky at times, but again, the owners were immediately responsive whenever we reached out. One helpful tip for future renters: if you plan to pick it up before departure and want the fridge cooled down before stocking it with perishables, I’d recommend picking it up at least a day early and purchasing an RV power cord adapter so you can plug it in at home. Make sure the RV is level as well, since that helps the fridge cool properly. Overall, this was an excellent first RV rental experience, and I would absolutely rent from them again for another festival or getaway.

RV camping near Rose Bowl Stadium

The Rose Bowl Game takes place annually on New Year's Day at Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California, set against the backdrop of the snow-capped San Gabriel Mountains. As the oldest college football bowl game in the country, it draws fans from coast to coast for an afternoon that blends elite competition, pageantry, and decades of tradition. The open-air stadium and its surrounding parkland create a festive atmosphere that starts hours before kickoff, with tailgating, fan festivals, and live music filling the lots. January in Pasadena brings mild, mostly sunny weather with daytime highs around 64 degrees Fahrenheit, though layers and a light rain jacket are always a smart call. For RV travelers, the game offers a setup that few sporting events can match. Brookside Park, directly adjacent to the stadium, allows fully self-contained RVs to park overnight on a first-come, first-served basis, and reserved multi-night RV spots are available through the official LAZ Parking program at the stadium. Arriving by RV means you bring your own kitchen, comfortable beds, and living space, which is a major advantage when Pasadena hotels fill up months in advance and cost a premium during New Year's week. You can park your rig, walk to the game, and return to the comfort of your own space afterward, avoiding the stress of post-game traffic from a distant hotel. The RV community at events like this is part of the draw, with fan tailgates and evening gatherings in the lots creating a sense of camaraderie unique to this style of travel. Renting an RV through RVezy gives you the flexibility to arrive early, stay as long as you like, and build the kind of New Year's trip that lasts in your memory long after the final whistle.

Frequently asked questions about renting an RV for Rose Bowl Game

When does the Rose Bowl Game take place and how long does the experience last?

The Rose Bowl Game is held annually on New Year's Day at Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena. When New Year's Day falls on a Sunday, the game moves to the following Monday. The game itself runs about three to three and a half hours, but the full day stretches much longer: parking lots open early in the morning, and the free Rose Bowl Bash fan festival in Lot K runs for several hours before kickoff. If you are traveling by RV and staying on-site, you can turn this into a multi-day trip, arriving the evening before and soaking up every minute of this remarkable tradition. Check rosebowlgame.com each season for the official schedule once the matchup is announced.

rosebowlgame.com/

How do I get tickets for the Rose Bowl Game?

Tickets for the Rose Bowl Game are sold through Ticketmaster, the official authorized distributor, as well as through the Pasadena Tournament of Roses. All access is mobile-only, so there are no paper passes to manage. Premium experience packages, including hospitality and travel bundles, are available through On Location at onlocationexp.com, the official hospitality partner. Seats are reserved and sell quickly once the competing teams are announced following the college football season, so early planning pays off. Check rosebowlgame.com for current availability, and if you are pairing your visit with on-site RV parking, secure your parking reservation at the same time so everything is coordinated before you hit the road.

How do I get to Rose Bowl Stadium by RV and where do I park?

Rose Bowl Stadium is accessible by RV via the I-210 Foothill Freeway. From the west or the San Fernando Valley, take I-134 East to I-210 East; from Downtown Los Angeles, head north on I-110 and connect to I-210 East toward Pasadena. Once on I-210, exit at Berkshire Ave, Arroyo Blvd, or Mountain St and follow event signage to RV-designated areas. Note that Rose Parade road closures can affect GPS routing on game day, so plan your route in advance. On-site RV parking is available at adjacent Brookside Park (first-come, self-contained, no hookups) and through reserved multi-night spots at rosebowl.lazparking.com. Arriving the evening before gives you the best shot at a prime spot close to the stadium.

What is the atmosphere and experience like at the Rose Bowl Game?

The Rose Bowl Game is known as "The Granddaddy of Them All" for good reason: it is the oldest college football bowl game in the country, and the atmosphere is unlike anything else in American sports. The open-air stadium frames the snow-capped San Gabriel Mountains, and the combination of January sunshine, rival fan bases, and decades of tradition creates an electric crowd. Before the game, the free Rose Bowl Bash in Lot K brings live music, interactive games, and performances by both schools' marching bands. Inside, Levy Restaurants runs a range of concessions from classic stadium fare to local specialties. Arrive early to take in the full experience from the first tailgate to the final whistle.

rosebowlgame.com/

What is the weather like at the Rose Bowl Game and what should I pack?

January in Pasadena is mild and mostly sunny, with daytime highs around 64 degrees Fahrenheit and cooler evenings near 46 degrees Fahrenheit. Rain is possible since January is one of the area's wetter months, so pack a light waterproof layer alongside clothing for the evening chill. Good walking shoes are essential for covering the parking lots. If you are staying in an RV on-site, your rig is your base camp: you can stow extra layers, swap out gear, and prepare a warm meal without leaving the lot. A portable charger is a must, since all stadium access is digital and your phone needs to stay live throughout the day.

rosebowlgame.com/

Is the Rose Bowl Game a good event to bring the whole family to?

Yes, the Rose Bowl Game is explicitly designed to be family-friendly. Tailgating rules are structured to maintain a safe, clean environment, and Tailgating Ambassadors patrol the lots on bicycles to assist guests of all ages. Strollers are permitted and can be checked with Guest Services if needed inside the stadium. The free Rose Bowl Bash fan festival in Lot K is open to all ages, giving kids a chance to enjoy the tradition well before kickoff. Keep in mind that every attendee, including infants, requires a seat. Arriving by RV with on-site parking means your family has a home base with a kitchen and bathroom just steps from the action, making a long game day much more comfortable for everyone.

rosebowlgame.com/

What food and drink options are available at the Rose Bowl Game?

Inside Rose Bowl Stadium, Levy Restaurants runs a full range of concessions with classic stadium fare including hot dogs, nachos, and burgers, alongside specialty items inspired by local flavors. Value stands near Tunnels 8 and 23 offer lower-priced options for budget-conscious fans. Beer, wine, and a variety of beverages are available from hawkers throughout the seating bowl. Outside, food trucks park in the surrounding lots with tacos, BBQ, and gourmet sandwiches before and after the game. If you are traveling by RV, you have the bonus of a full kitchen for breakfasts, late-night meals, and game-day snacks, so you can treat the stadium concessions as a supplement rather than your only option during a long New Year's Day.

Are all RV types and sizes allowed to park near Rose Bowl Stadium?

RV parking adjacent to Rose Bowl Stadium is open to a range of RV types, from motorhomes to travel trailers. The overnight option at Brookside Park requires that your RV be fully self-contained, meaning your own water supply, waste tanks, and power source, since there are no electrical or water hookups at this location. For reserved multi-night spots through LAZ Parking, the official stadium parking partner, you can confirm sizing and specific requirements in advance at rosebowl.lazparking.com or by calling (626) 578-1705. Booking early is strongly recommended since RV spots fill quickly once the game matchup is announced. RVezy hosts in the Pasadena area can often help you select the right RV size for your group.

Can I get an RV delivered to the Rose Bowl Game area in Pasadena?

Yes, RV delivery is an option worth exploring for your Rose Bowl Game trip. RVezy hosts in the Pasadena and greater Los Angeles area sometimes offer delivery, meaning you can have your rental RV parked and ready near the event without having to drive it yourself from a pickup location. To check current availability, search RVezy with delivery enabled for Pasadena, California to see which local hosts offer this service. Delivery is especially useful if you are flying in from out of state and want to skip a long cross-city drive. Since Brookside Park operates on a first-come basis, coordinate timing with your host early so your RV is in position well before game day crowds arrive.

Where can I camp or park an RV near the Rose Bowl Game?

The closest option is Brookside Park, directly adjacent to Rose Bowl Stadium, where fully self-contained RVs can park overnight on a first-come, first-served basis with no hookups. For a guaranteed spot, the official LAZ Parking program at rosebowl.lazparking.com offers reserved multi-night RV parking in the stadium's managed lots, putting you steps from the action. If you prefer a campground with full hookups, Bonelli Bluffs RV Resort and Campground in San Dimas is roughly 15 to 20 miles east along I-210, and the KOA in Pomona is another well-equipped regional option. Book any of these well in advance since demand around the Rose Bowl Game is consistently high.

What are the lodging options near Rose Bowl Stadium for game week?

Hotels in Pasadena are plentiful, with well-known properties along South Lake Avenue and Colorado Boulevard sitting just a few miles from the stadium. They fill months in advance for New Year's week, and prices reflect the demand, so book early if that is your plan. For RV travelers, parking on-site at Brookside Park or through the LAZ Parking reserved program puts you closer to the stadium than any hotel, with the added benefit of your own kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping space. If you want the convenience of full hookups, Bonelli Bluffs RV Resort in San Dimas and the Pomona KOA are both solid options within a short drive east on I-210.

What should I know as a first-time Rose Bowl Game attendee arriving by RV?

Your first Rose Bowl Game is one for the memory books, and arriving by RV puts you in the best position to enjoy every part of it. Book your RV parking early through LAZ Parking at rosebowl.lazparking.com, since on-site spots fill quickly after the game matchup is announced. Plan to arrive the evening before if you can, so you are settled in before the lots get busy. On game day, head to the free Rose Bowl Bash fan festival in Lot K for live music and activities before kickoff. All stadium access is mobile-only, so download your app and confirm your digital pass well before game day. Bring layers for the January evening chill and a portable charger to keep everything running from tailgate to final whistle.

rosebowlgame.com/

What are the rules and prohibited items at the Rose Bowl Game?

The Rose Bowl Game has a clear bag policy: only bags that meet the stadium's size requirements, plus small clutch purses, are permitted inside. Standard prohibited items include outside food and beverages in large quantities, umbrellas with pointed tips, folding chairs, and audio or video recording equipment. Tailgating in the lots follows a family-friendly code of conduct, and alcohol is served and consumed under California's regulations. Re-entry policies can change from season to season, so review the current rules at rosebowlgame.com before you arrive. If you are staying in your RV on-site, you have a secure nearby base to leave any disallowed items rather than trying to manage everything at the stadium gates.
