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 Wednesday. 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.
