The Emerald City is buzzing. Between the mountains, the water, and the coffee, Seattle was already a bucket-list destination — and now it’s hosting some of 2026’s biggest soccer matches. If you want to experience it right, roll in with an RV. You’ll have a comfortable home base to bounce between stadium energy, Pacific Northwest scenery, and everything in between.
This guide has you covered: the best RV parks near Seattle, the real talk on Lumen Field parking, and how to get to the match without losing your sanity in downtown traffic.
Your Pacific Northwest Basecamp: Top RV Parks
Seattle’s dense core doesn’t leave much room for RVs, so most of the best spots are outside the city. Book 9–12 months in advance if you want the prime picks.
North of the City
- Lake Pleasant RV Park (Bothell) — A fan favorite about 30–45 minutes north. It’s tucked into woods with trails and fishing ponds, but still comes with modern comforts like full hookups and Wi-Fi. Perfect mix of nature and convenience.
East of the City (I-90 Corridor)
- Issaquah Village RV Park (Issaquah) — Just 15 minutes from downtown and right at the base of the Cascades. Close to Lake Sammamish State Park and tons of trails.
- Blue Sky RV Park (Issaquah) — Spacious, quiet, and a great jumping-off point for exploring the Snoqualmie Valley.
The State Park Experience
- Dash Point State Park (Federal Way) — Classic PNW camping between Seattle and Tacoma. Think shoreline walks, forest trails, and beachcombing. It’s a longer commute to the stadium, but if you want “full nature mode,” this is it.

Game Day Playbook: The Truth About Lumen Field RV Parking
Here’s the critical intel: Lumen Field does NOT offer on-site RV parking.
- The official lots (North Lot and Lumen Field Garage) can’t handle RVs.
- Overnight parking? Not allowed.
- Tailgating in the official lots? Also not allowed.
Your best play: Leave the RV at your campground. Seattle’s narrow downtown streets aren’t RV-friendly, and hunting for parking will feel like extra time you didn’t ask for.
Getting to the Game: The Link Light Rail Wins Every Time
Seattle’s Sound Transit Link light rail is your MVP for match days: fast, cheap, and stress-free.
- The Route: Take the 1 Line, which runs from Northgate (north of the city) through downtown all the way to Angle Lake.
- The Stops: Stadium Station or International District/Chinatown Station both drop you within a short walk of Lumen Field.
- Park & Ride Strategy: Drive your tow vehicle (or grab a rideshare) to a Park & Ride lot at Northgate (north side) or Tukwila/Angle Lake (south side). Hop the train, skip the gridlock, and you’ll be at the gates in minutes.
Beyond the Pitch: Exploring the Emerald City
Your RV basecamp makes it easy to see Seattle beyond the matches:
- Pike Place Market — Fresh flowers, flying fish, and the original Starbucks. It’s iconic for a reason.
- Space Needle & Seattle Center — Panoramic views, glass art at Chihuly Garden, and pop culture heaven at MoPOP.
- The Waterfront — Stroll the piers, ride the Great Wheel, and dig into world-class seafood.
Final Whistle
Seattle is one of the most scenic stops on the 2026 soccer tour, and an RV makes it even better. Book your campground early, leave the rig parked on game days, and let the light rail do the heavy lifting. Do that, and your Seattle trip won’t just be about the matches — it’ll be a Pacific Northwest adventure you’ll never forget.
