How should you store lake equipment?
End of season: pull drain plugs, fog the motor, and charge batteries before parking — not in April. Cover with a strapped, breathable cover; tarps trap moisture. Measure bumper-to-tongue before choosing a space length, and park nose-out if you tow at dawn. Household side: winter clothes at the front October through March, paddleboards at the front the rest of the year.
How does renting RV or storage space work in White Bear Lake?
For vehicle spaces, timing is the strategy: 10x40s fill first every fall, so measure your RV bumper-to-tongue and reserve before the leaves turn. The office confirms your space assignment and gate code, and you can position nose-out if you tow at dawn. Indoor units rent online any time — code by email, carts in the loading bays, elevators to your floor. Everything is month to month, which fits the rhythm here: RVs park in October and roll out in May, and nobody pays for months they don't need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is US Storage Centers in White Bear Lake?
At 1828 Buerkle Road, White Bear Lake, MN 55110 — off I-694 at White Bear Avenue, just past Sam's Club and Pizza Ranch, across the interstate from Maplewood Mall.
How long can an RV space be at White Bear Lake?
Up to 10x40 — long enough for Class A motorhomes, fifth wheels, and travel trailers, with 10x20 and 10x24 spaces for boats and smaller campers. Spaces fill seasonally, so reserve ahead of fall.
Can I load indoors during a Minnesota winter?
Yes — a three-bay indoor loading area lets you pull in, unload onto free carts, and take the elevator to a climate-controlled unit without the wind touching anything.
Why store an RV here instead of the driveway?
Many northeast-metro cities limit long-term RV parking on streets and driveways, and winter plowing makes it worse. A dedicated space keeps your RV legal, out of the neighbors' sightline, and ready to hook up.
Does White Bear Lake have regular storage units too?
Yes — climate-controlled indoor units from locker size to full-household scale, alongside the vehicle lot, so the house overflow and the boat share one address.
When should I reserve an RV space for winter?
By early fall. The 10x40 spaces go first — usually before the leaves finish turning — and the 10x24s follow close behind. Measure your RV bumper-to-tongue, call the office, and lock in the space before the first hard frost.
Is boat storage available year-round in White Bear Lake?
Yes — the outdoor spaces rent month to month all year, so a boat can winter here and a camper can take the slot for summer, or one vehicle can hold its space season after season.
