Obihiro & Tokachi’s 4 Certified RV Parks | Prices, Power Hookups & Booking [2026 Edition]

Search for “Obihiro RV park” and the first thing you’ll run into is that there’s no certified facility inside Obihiro city itself. Checking the Hokkaido list of 45 RV parks certified by the Japan RV Association (JRVA), as published on the official kurumatabi.com directory, we found none located in Obihiro city (confirmed August 4, 2026). Widen the search to the Tokachi region, though, and four certified RV parks appear, in Taiki, Ikeda, Urahoro, and Shimizu. This article organizes each facility’s prices, power hookups, bathing options, and booking method — with confirmation dates — and covers how to choose between them on an Obihiro-based campervan trip.

The information here was confirmed on August 4, 2026, from the kurumatabi.com official site (JRVA certification list) and each facility’s own website and booking page. Prices and availability can change, so please check each facility’s official information for the latest details before booking.

Is There an RV Park in Obihiro City?

The short answer: no certified facility carrying the “RV Park” name exists within Obihiro city. The kurumatabi.com official Hokkaido list of JRVA-certified sites has 45 entries, and not one of them has an Obihiro city address (confirmed August 4, 2026). The nearest certified facility is “RVパーク 十勝まきばの家” (RV Park Tokachi Makiba no Ie) in Ikeda, the town directly east of Obihiro.

In other words, “staying at an RV park inside Obihiro” isn’t an option right now — you’ll be choosing from the four facilities in the wider Tokachi region instead. For how the RV park system itself works (how it differs from a Michi-no-Eki, and the basics of using one), see What Is an RV Park? Prices, Facilities & How It Differs from a Michi-no-Eki; for every certified facility across Hokkaido, see Hokkaido RV Park List: All 45 JRVA-Certified Sites.

Four Certified RV Parks You Can Stay at in Tokachi

The Tokachi region has one certified RV park each in Taiki, Ikeda, Urahoro, and Shimizu. Each has a distinct character, so let’s lay them out side by side first. All figures below are confirmed as of August 4, 2026.

RVパーク Moving Inn Tokachi 北の森 (Taiki)

This is a glamping-style RV park for travelers who want to relax at an onsen. Its character and price range set it apart from the other three facilities. The on-site “十勝ナウマン温泉ホテルアルコ” (Tokachi Naumann Onsen Hotel Arco) lets you soak in a hot spring without moving your vehicle. Power is free (20A). Rates run from ¥16,846 for the Nature Suite “HOTORI” and from ¥30,235 for the Grand Suite — closer to a high-end stay than the few-thousand-yen range typical of most RV parks. Booking is required, through the operator’s own reservation page, by 9:00 a.m. two days before your stay; same-day walk-ins aren’t accepted (confirmed August 4, 2026). See the Moving Inn official site for details.

RVパーク 十勝まきばの家 (Ikeda)

Located in Ikeda, the town directly east of Obihiro, this is the pick for keeping your stay in the ¥3,000s. Rates run ¥3,000–¥3,600 per night per vehicle, with free power (up to 500W). Bathing is shower-only (¥1,000 per 30 minutes); there’s no on-site onsen. Booking is web-only — phone reservations aren’t accepted. You can book through the official site or through the camping reservation platform Nap (なっぷ) (confirmed August 4, 2026). Trash is generally take-it-with-you; if you’d rather leave it, you’ll need to buy the site’s designated bags.

RVパークHERON 十勝浦幌 (Urahoro)

Located in Urahoro at the eastern edge of Tokachi, this is a good stopover point if you’re heading from Obihiro toward Kushiro. It’s a small facility limited to four vehicles per day. The rate is ¥4,400 per vehicle (trailers included). There are four sites, A through D, and power is available at two of them, A and B (¥500). There’s an on-site shower room, and the restroom is open 24 hours. Same-day bookings are accepted up to 12:00 noon, through online reservation on the JRVA booking site (confirmed August 4, 2026). It has no dedicated official website of its own — the latest updates are posted on Instagram.

RVパーク 十勝ワッカの森キャンプ場 (Shimizu)

Located in Shimizu on the western side of Tokachi, this is an easy first-night pick on the day you enter the region from the Sapporo or Furano direction. Rates are ¥5,000 for a powered site and ¥3,000 for an unpowered one, plus a separate facility-use fee. Bathing is shower-only, with no onsen mentioned on-site. Same-day bookings are accepted up to 10:00 a.m. The official site doesn’t list exact site counts or power specifications, and visitors are directed to confirm by phone (0156-67-7588) (confirmed August 4, 2026).

How to Choose Between the Four

The quickest way to decide is by direction of travel and budget. For the lowest cost, go with Tokachi Makiba no Ie in Ikeda, or Wakka no Mori in Shimizu (unpowered site). If an onsen is the priority, choose Kitanomori in Taiki. For a stopover heading toward Kushiro or eastern Hokkaido, it’s HERON in Urahoro. Keep in mind that HERON is limited to four vehicles a day, so during the summer peak season it fills up unless you book early. Kitanomori is also the one exception that doesn’t accept same-day bookings — worth remembering.

If you haven’t settled on your route yet, decide on destinations like Hanabatake Farm or Kofuku Station first using the Obihiro & Tokachi Campervan Drive Guide, then pick your overnight stop based on direction — that way your itinerary won’t have wasted backtracking.

Can I Just Sleep at a Michi-no-Eki Instead If the RV Parks Are Full?

Checking the official sites of all 15 Michi-no-Eki in the Tokachi area, plus the Kita-no-Michi-no-Eki portal, we found no statement either permitting or prohibiting overnight parking in the lots (confirmed August 3–4, 2026). The absence of a statement doesn’t mean it’s allowed. On a night when you need a guaranteed place to stay, booking an RV park is the safer option.

Some stations do officially state that their restrooms are open 24 hours. Michi-no-Eki Garden Spa Tokachigawa Onsen (Otofuke) explicitly states “available 24 hours,” and Michi-no-Eki Nakasatsunai (Nakasatsunai Village) and Michi-no-Eki Ashoro Ginga Hall 21 (Ashoro) also state 24-hour restroom access (confirmed August 3–4, 2026). Follow the on-site signage and each facility’s own guidance when deciding whether to rest or nap there.

Planning a Rental Alongside It

If your plan is to rent a campervan in Obihiro or Tokachi and stay at an RV park along the way, it’s smoother to lock in the vehicle first and decide on lodging after. The price, vehicle type, and access differences across the three rental bases in Obihiro and Tokachi are covered in Obihiro/Tokachi Campervan Rental Comparison. For details on the Moving Inn Tokachi Obihiro Airport base, see its base page.

The Takeaway: Stop Searching Inside “Obihiro City” and the Choice Gets Easy

There’s no certified RV park inside Obihiro city — your options are the four Tokachi facilities. For an affordable stay, it’s Tokachi Makiba no Ie in Ikeda; for an onsen, Kitanomori in Taiki; for a stopover toward Kushiro, HERON in Urahoro; and for the day you enter from the west, Wakka no Mori in Shimizu. Overlay these four with your direction of travel and the choice pretty much makes itself. From there, just book once your dates are set — just don’t forget HERON’s four-vehicle limit and Kitanomori’s two-days-before booking cutoff.
