Keep in mind SW lets you bring 2 bags free, whereas you have to pay with everyone else.

    what is the signage like throughout the various campgrounds? I can see my dumb ass getting lost unless I'm pointed in the right direction.

    Little to none.

    A lot of people fly flags though, so you'll learn to use those as beacons.


    edit: Aren't you in Oasis though? I think that's right by the venue so you won't be trudging through D9 or anything.

    Hey all, kinda dumb question:

    I'm finding camping passes that are around $180, but there's no specification if its just for one night or the whole weekend? Do the camping passses work for all three days or do I need to find a specific weekend pass? thanks

    All camping passes are for Thursday to Monday. There are no single day camping passes that I know of.

    yeah I meant during the day, should have qualified. won't have to do the night-time tent search boogalloo.

    I could just see myself walking over to the pivot to check it out, having some beers, then just walking around the campground in a circle for 3 hours trying to get back to Oasis before the show.

    maybe I'll drop bread crumbs?

    I suppose you could email them, too, but you get my point.
    Thank you for the response, I appreciate it. I booked thru SW which is good, because I realized 10 minutes later that I made a mistake and had to make a change lol. Here's to hoping for a good trip while flying solo!

    There's a main road/path that leads from the pivot, through Premiere and back down to the general store that's pretty impossible to miss. The entrance will be labled as Premiere and it has people "guarding" it checking for wristbands.

    Pretty hard to get lost unless you get off into the dregs of D9. And I wouldn't do that unless you need some Molly or something.

    Afternoon Good Sir, hope you are well. Did you post a link previously about a charger on Amazon? If so, would you mind posting it again so I can pick one up? Thank you, I appreciate the assistance.

    Are you going to The Gorge and still looking for a place to stay? We had a group that was going and we booked a place on Airbnb, but unfortunately we are now not able to stay at this location. If you are looking for a nice place that will hold a good number of people, check out this house in Wenatchee: https://abnb.me/Vae7ZSf6CO.

    Please contact the Airbnb host directly if you are interested.

    Thanks!

    This is what I have, and most likely what I linked:

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1


    Doesn't look like they make it anymore, but I'm sure there's a better one out there at this point.

    I have these two on my wishlist currently, but haven't pulled the trigger:

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B73I5ZU...0-530297bd69ef

    I was interested until I saw the price. Over $2K for 4 nights? That's absurd.

    Never mind, I see the size of the house now. That wouldn't be bad split amongst a big group.

    I'm having to think about that same thing now.. I've always stayed premier but haven't been able to pick one up this summer. I told myself I would never stay standard... but given the crowd is mostly older these days, it can't be that bad. Just make sure to lock your stuff up

    What do you all recommend for sight seeing within walking distance? I plan on doing a bit of tailgating at the car but would like to maybe take a walk to a better camp ground if permitted

    They don't let the riff raff from D9 into Premiere or Terrace.

    Nothing much to see in there though, except civilization.

    Premier will pop up.


    There was a Terrace drop on LN a few days/week ago.

    Yes, we had a group of 10+ so it was actually pretty reasonable at the end of the day.

    Seriously though, you won't be missing out on anything in there during the day unless you have friends in there that you can't get to.

    D9 is fun during the day.

    The view of the scenery from the lawn will bring you to your knees. Make sure you stay to the left as you enter and come up into the amphitheater via the back of the lawn. The first time you do that at Gorge is just an incredible experience.

    Can't see it at night, obviously, but the view of the stage from the lawn is still good. I'm doing lawn all three nights. Only place I'll do lawn.

    I have to almost laugh - not at you. Yes, the view is one of the best in the world when it comes to concert venues.
