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 Thursday. 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.
