About this Location

Facility Overview

The Camden Yards Lee Street Parking Lot (commonly known as Lot C within the Camden Yards Sports Complex) is an expansive, open-air surface parking facility situated in the heart of downtown Baltimore's sports and entertainment corridor. Positioned between Oriole Park at Camden Yards and M&T Bank Stadium along West Lee Street, this high-capacity lot provides essential parking infrastructure for stadium visitors, convention attendees, and downtown commuters. Because it is a completely open-air ground lot, there are no low-hanging overhead ceilings or vertical clearance restrictions, making it suitable for standard passenger sedans, oversized SUVs, lifted pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, and even approved oversized commercial vehicles or charter buses.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Lot C boasts an exceptional location directly bridging Baltimore's premier sports venues and cultural hubs. Major destinations within effortless walking distance include:

Oriole Park at Camden Yards: Located directly north across Lee Street, fans can reach the ballpark gates in less than a 3- to 5-minute walk.
M&T Bank Stadium: Home of the Baltimore Ravens, situated just south of the lot via the pedestrian walkway and Ravens Walk, reachable in about a 5- to 7-minute walk.
Baltimore Convention Center: Situated roughly 0.3 miles northeast (an 8-minute walk), making Lot C a frequent parking option for trade show exhibitors and conference attendees.
Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum: Located in neighboring Ridgely's Delight, roughly a 7-minute walk away.
CFG Bank Arena: Approximately 0.7 miles north for concerts, family shows, and indoor sporting events.
Baltimore Inner Harbor & Harborplace: An easy 10- to 12-minute walk east to waterfront dining, historic ships, and the National Aquarium.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Vehicular access to Lot C is exceptionally direct. Drivers arriving from Interstate 95 can take Exit 53 (I-395 North) directly onto the Russell Street ramp, turning right onto West Lee Street to enter the parking gates. Alternatively, downtown motorists can approach via South Howard Street and West Conway Street. Departing the facility is similarly streamlined; the lot’s perimeter feeds quickly onto major arterials, including Russell Street (MD-295 / Baltimore-Washington Parkway) and direct feeder ramps to I-395/I-95, minimizing gridlock after major events. For multi-modal commuters, the MTA Light RailLink Camden Station and MARC Camden Line train stop are mere steps away, providing rapid transit connections throughout Baltimore County, Anne Arundel County, and south to Washington, D.C.

Visitor & Driver Tips

During Orioles home games, Ravens game days, or massive stadium concerts, Lot C often converts to a permit-only or prepaid reservation system; visitors are strongly advised to purchase parking passes in advance through the official team ticketing platform or affiliated mobile apps. On non-event days, early-bird rates often apply for vehicles arriving before 9:00 AM. Avoid parking in the adjacent residential neighborhoods of Ridgely's Delight and Otterbein, as Baltimore City strictly enforces Residential Permit Parking (RPP) zones with hefty fines and towing. Finally, note that official stadium tailgating policies may vary by event, and cash is typically not accepted at the entry gates, so keep a credit card or digital mobile pass ready upon arrival.
