The lush outdoor environment, concert-friendly weather and camaraderie encourage concertgoers to camp out during their stay at the Gorge. Official camping facilities are provided just outside of the venue.
Campers get the choice of three different camp sites: general, premier and terrace.
A premier camping spot guarantees a more secure, secluded experience, along with access to private restrooms and a shower facility (also available to general campers, but with an added fee). Terrace camping is also available for those who want further peace and quiet, and a good view across the Gorge to boot.
Prices for general, premier and terrace camping areas vary per event. Camping spaces can be reserved at GorgeCamping.com.
Not all Gorge-goers swear by the venue’s camping area, though.
For those looking for a smaller, quieter camping experience, a popular option is the Wildhorse Campground, less than a mile from the venue on Baseline Road. The family-owned operation is celebrating its 10th year.
The Wildhorse Campground boasts a much quieter, laid-back atmosphere, limited electrical hookup sites for RV and camper users, and on-site eating establishment Corral Cafe. Also provided is a free shuttle service, which is available two hours before the show starts and runs every half hour until one hour after each show.
Prices are $30 per car each night, or $75 for RVs and trailers. Parties larger than four people will be charged an additional $10 per head at the gate.
More information and reservations are at WildhorseCampground.com.
We have purchased our camping tickets for this weekend’s show, and were wondering if the gates are open 24 hours to pull in and set up.
Thanks for your help!
I am going to Dave Mathews this weekend with some friends, and plan to camp. I need to know if I pay for a general camp spot and if so how much is it?
Thanks!
Does anyone know how much it is for 1 night of camping? Online it makes you pay for all 3 nights and I don’t need all 3 nights, just Friday. Thanks!
My understanding from last year is that if you arrive for the Friday show you have to pay for all of the nights of camping that follow. The reasoning is I guess they can’t tell whether you have left or not if you were to say that you were only staying Friday. So, if you arrive on Friday, you have to pay for all three nights. If you arrive later, like on Saturday or Sunday, supposedly, they will take off the charges for the one or two nights you missed and only charge you for how many nights are left in the weekend of camping. But, it kind of sucks for people with only Friday tickets (me included!)
Do you have to reserve camping? We have our show tickets but need a camping pass. Can you buy when you get there? I can’t find any camping tickets available online.
thanks
75.00 per campspot. You get it at ticketmaster.com
You pay for one campsite regardless of how long you stay there. You could pay for one spot at 75.00, then stay all 3 days but you only get into the concert area with a valid concert ticket. They don’t kick you out of your camping spot because they have no idea of who is in and who is out, so you pay for all 3 days basicly and stay as long as you like. the camp ticket is per vehicle and you can crowd lots into a vehicle.
the camping tickets are at ticketmaster.. look right after you enter Dave Mathews and you have the options for dates etc. it will be Gorge camping.
Does anyone know if you can buy a camping pass when you get up there? There not on ticketmaster anymore…. Thanks!!
I’m having the same issue. Would like to know if you can purchase camping there. They are no longer selling on internet.
Does anyone know if campers are allowed in the general camping area or if you’re only allowed to camp in tents in general camping? I know that general camping doesn’t have hookups, but can you still bring your camper in?
Yes they are allowed!
Will you please check lost and found for my Sony Cybershot camera?

If you are camping at the Gorge can you go into the concert and then back to camp to eat then re-enter the concert?
Id like to stay back at the gorge after the Jack Johnson concert, but dont fancy camping too much. Any recommendations for good hotels/inns/B&Bs in the area?
