Thank you Russ for the jump. they have a mechanic on site to give jumps he's a great guy friendly and nice.
But The walk from standard camping to the main stage is about 45 minutes walk. Not to mention the up-and-down steep hills you have to climb to get there and back again. 1 1/2 hr round trip so you don't spend much time at your campground unless you don't want to see the shows. You will miss some of the shows because they have them at the same time; Nashville and main stage play during the day around the same time. And they don't open the gate until 1 and show start at 2 which doesn't give you a lot of time to look around and do some of the activities they have unless you want to miss the show which is why we were there. Be prepared to pay a high price for a bag of ice at $8 a bag and drinks will be $18+ the cowboy hat is$30. Didn't get to try much of the food because it's $18 just for a corn dog, they do have great pretzels and cheese for $8. Phone charging stations were nice and convenient. The showers at the standard camping is less than desirable you have no place to get dressed except for in the opening in front of a bunch of strangers. Most of the shower heads are broken so you just get a stream of water. I'm not sure how often they clean them but when I went in there once there was soap everywhere that people have left and razors and trash on the floor. The campsites were much smaller in the standards this year me and my neighbors had to zigzag are 10 x 10 canopy in order for them to fit on the campsite without touching.
Got in line four hours early and still late to the show. Ridiculously bad management, worst Ive ever seen. Car lines for miles and miles bottlenecked into one entrance which was so poorly managed it was unbelievable. People getting out of their cars peeing in the surrounding orchards out of desperation, folks started walking miles back because the car line literally didn’t move for hours. I would have liked to see one of the “most beautiful venues on earth” But by the time we got in it was already dark. And we were early ones. Thousands of other folks missed the show altogether despite arriving early. Crazy bad.
Basic idea here…don’t have camping for the following night’s show arrive at the SAME time as people attending that day’s concert. Awful awful awful experience. We won’t be back unless this is fixed.
The Gorge Campgrounds have always been well taken care of during the events that I've attended here. We usually do general admission camping because we wind up getting there super early and get close to the Pivot area, but this year we chose to do premier and I genuinely do not think we'll be going back. The 24/7 showers and air conditioned bathrooms were AMAZING over the course of Bass Canyon, especially with the wildfire smoke rolling in heavily on Saturday and Sunday. I'm definitely wishing I had run this last year when it was 102~ Fahrenheit most of the days.
Went here for a festival and this is the best venue I’ve ever been to in my entire life. Organized and well thought out. Clean and safe.
