no one answered my question so I am going to ask again.

Can I pay for the camping when I get to the campgrounds or do I have to pay for it before hand? I just want the regular camping.

Thanks

I don't know but why not just buy in advance? They're available on Ticketmaster. Better to be safe than sorry.

Hey, does anyone know how many people you can have in premier? It doesn't say on the site and it sounds like more than 4 is ok. I think it be worth an extra 10 bucks per person if you split it 5 ways.

I e-mailed the festival organizers last night to ask about that. They replied today saying it is alright to have 5 people as long as you all come in one car.

Definitely print that email. Like i mentioned, the staff at the grounds have little to no communication with the people behind the scenes (aka the people answering your emails)

This.

There was a problem last year (I think it's been discussed already, but here is the question again) when camping sold out. People were able to pay on site, though, because room was made.

Don't know if that's how it would run this year, but I wouldn't count in it. Buy camping in advance.

Hi - I have a premium camp site plus two 3-day passes purchased a couple of months ago and regrettably, am now unable to attend the festival. Selling everything at my cost, which is 170.00/US for the camp site and $170/US for each of the 3 day passes. Please let me know if you are interested. Thanks.

I am interested in purchasing your premier camping! Please let me know if it is still available, we'd love to buy it from you.

Thanks!

If camping runs out they have overflow space in the parking, I dont that you will ever be turned down to camp if you pay when you get there

I will relate my experience from last year...We left Vancouver Satuday morning and arrived at the Gorge around 1:30pm, only to be directed to what we thought was day parking, but actually ended up being overflow camping (south of the facility). We were pissed because we wanted to be near friends, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

It was very spacious, and there were plenty Honey Buckets that did not overflow. It was closer to the entrance and much quieter than regular camping (we still partied back at the main camping, and suffered through the 4am walk back to overflow). The best part however, was that we had easy access out of the camping each morning. We were able to get out each morning for a quality breakfast, go swimming in the Columbia, and even played Pitch n putt in Crescent Bar Monday morning.

I highly recommend it if they allow it this year. I will definitely be making my way that again if I can.

Damn, that's awesome. How did you get to the river for swimming?

I had a brutal conflict between King khan on the Wookie stage and Doves on the main stage, so I threw myself over the side of the Gorge. Fortunately, I landed in the Columbia River, so I was alive and refreshed.

In all seriousness, the overflow area was so spacious that driving in and out caused no problems whatsoever. As long as you kept your camping ticket, once you left you could re-enter no problem. I may be mistaken, but I was under the impression that this liberty was not available to everybody in the main camping area.

Fuck, this is somewhat upsetting to someone who paid the extra $ for Premiere. I would love to be able to go out and be able to have breakfast somewhere, go for a soak and then head back for the show. I did see people doing it last year in Premiere, but we just didn't feel like risking it. What did the people working the gate or whatever say to you?

They say on the website you arent allowed access once you leave, but lots of people did. The people camping beside us went to town for breakfast every morning.

Also, I wouldnt count on the same setup (meaning getting that overflow camping), it has changed every year I have been there.

Ya, I've been to the gorge many times and they haven't given me a problem leaving. Be prepared to hand them your camping pass so they can write your license plate number on it, and that's about all. After that you can drive down the road a bit to vantage to restock with supplies and maybe do some swimming/cliff jumping. It's a very refreshing change to a ridiculously hot and dirty camp ground.
