Camden Yards Parking Guide: Lots, Prices, and Tips for Orioles Games
Parking Overview and Pricing
Official Orioles parking is available in Lots F, G, and H, with limited availability in Lot C on a first-come, first-served basis. All lots open two hours before first pitch. Parking starts at $10.00. All lots are cashless – accepted cards are Mastercard, Visa, American Express, and Discover. Buy your pass in advance through the Orioles website; official lots frequently sell out before game day.
Beyond the stadium lots, over 30,000 spaces are available in garages and lots throughout the downtown and Inner Harbor area within one mile of the ballpark. Third-party platforms like SpotHero, ParkWhiz, and Premium Parking list nearby garages and let you compare prices and lock in a spot ahead of time. The Harbor Park Garage, Conway Street Garage, and Sheraton Inner Harbor Garage are frequently used options within easy walking distance.
Cycling to the game is also an option. Oriole Park has nearly 200 bicycle parking spots around the exterior, including at Gate C, Gate H, along the Warehouse, and at the MDOT MTA MARC Camden Station.
Camden Yards Parking Map
Preferred and Premium Parking at Camden Yards
Most of the closest lots are reserved for season ticket holders and are not available to the general public on game day. Lots A and B are the most coveted spots near the stadium. Lot A sits south of the stadium near the intersection of West Lee Street and Russell Street and is designated for season-ticket holders. Lot B is also just south of the ballpark and similarly requires a pass. Fans looking for the closest publicly available parking should focus on Lots C, F, G, and H, though availability in those lots is not guaranteed.
When official lots are unavailable, nearby garages are the best alternative. The Harbor Park Garage, Conway Street Garage, and Sheraton Inner Harbor Garage are all within easy walking distance and often have better availability than the official lots. Booking through SpotHero, ParkWhiz, or Premium Parking in advance is the most reliable way to secure a spot.
Free Parking Near Camden Yards
Free parking near Camden Yards is extremely limited and not a reliable option on game day. Hotel and business garages in the Inner Harbor area all charge fees and fill up on busy evenings.
One workaround fans use is parking further north near a Light Rail station and riding the train in. Fans can park for free at the Light Rail station in Timonium and ride straight to Camden Yards. Some metered street parking exists in neighborhoods to the north or west of the ballpark – meters in certain areas may be free after 6:00 p.m., so an early evening arrival can be worthwhile if you are willing to walk. Always check posted signs carefully and avoid leaving valuables visible in your car.
Can You Tailgate at Camden Yards?
Tailgating is not permitted in any Orioles parking lots at Camden Yards. This is a firm stadium policy confirmed on the official MLB transportation page.
There are pre-game alternatives nearby. Pickles Pub, located close to the ballpark, is known for a block-party atmosphere that serves as a popular substitute. Quigley’s Half-Irish Pub is another casual option in the area. The Inner Harbor also has plenty of bars, restaurants, and outdoor spaces to enjoy before heading into the game.
ADA and Accessible Parking at Camden Yards
Accessible parking is located in Lots A and B. Some spaces are reserved for disabled season plan holders with equal access seating. The remaining accessible spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis. A state-issued handicapped license plate or hangtag is required.

Two official drop-off points are closer to the gates: the east side of the Warehouse at the breezeway next to Gate A, and Home Plate Plaza on the Russell Street service drive next to Gate D.

Fans coming from Washington, D.C. on weekends can take the MARC train to Baltimore Penn Station and connect via a Penn-Camden Light Rail shuttle to reach Camden Yards.
Camden Yards Parking Tips
Buy your parking pass in advance. Official lots sell out before game day, and arriving without a reservation can leave you scrambling. Use SpotHero, ParkWhiz, or BestParking to compare prices and availability across both official and nearby private lots.
Arrive early. Lots open two hours before first pitch, and getting there early helps you beat post-game traffic. If you are parked in Lots F, G, H, K, L, N, or O, plan your exit route carefully – Warner Street between the casino and the stadium is closed to all vehicle traffic.
Transit is the most affordable and stress-free option for budget-conscious fans. The Light Rail drops you off directly in front of the stadium, and a round-trip ticket costs $3.20. If you drive, consider parking at an Inner Harbor garage and walking – garages like Harbor Park, Conway Street, and Sheraton Inner Harbor are within easy walking distance and often have better availability than the official lots.
