Accommodations
There are a number of ways to spend your hours sleeping in the
Gorge. One important thing to remember is that almost anywhere you
sleep at night in the area you are bound to hear trains since they
run along both sides of the Columbia River throughout the region.
Many rally attendees solve the train issue simply by using a pair of
earplugs, ingesting a Tylenol PM or simply saying – “I love trains –
it’s no big deal.” “It’s a great location and the
facility is clean and well kept.”
Richard S. – Grass Valley, CA Onsite Camping
Camping is available free of charge to all participants on the
fairgrounds beginning Sunday. The west side of the camping area features
electrical outlets so if you’d like to recharge your camera battery or
laptop, run a sleep apnea machine or otherwise, pack an extension cord
and you’ll be all set. To insure you get a good spot arrive early.
Group Camping
A number of enthusiasts groups use this rally as their annual
gathering. If you’d like us to accommodate your group together in one
area of the tent camping or RV section please contact us via email.
RV Camping
RV camping spots are available on the fairgrounds for an additional
advance flat rate of $20 per vehicle for the entire rally regardless of
how many days you’re there (no pro-rated rates). All sites include
electrical hookups and 15 include water. A dump station is located
nearby. Arrive early for the best spots. Those who have not booked their
spots in advance will be charged $25 per spot on arrival. Motels
You can motel it nearby just a few blocks from the fairground in
Stevenson at the Econolodge. If they are sold out you can motel it just
across the water in Cascade Locks at the Best Western Columbia River Inn
or the Bridge of the Gods Motel. Hotels & Resorts
Time to pamper yourself? There are several resort hotels in the area
including the Skamania Lodge, Bonneville Hot Springs and the Carson
Mineral Hot Springs Resort. Planning to Arrive Early?
If you plan to arrive Saturday before the start of the rally (Sunday)
you'll need to get accommodations locally. Due to another event going on
Saturday, we cannot provide camping for registered dualsport riders
until Sunday. The unofficial campground for dualsport riders to gather
at on Saturday night is the
Port of Cascade Locks. Camping is located on the west end of the
upper park.
