- Animals - service animals allowed. Like many venues and other large places of assembly, the Gorge has a “no pets” policy. However, Live Nation’s policy explicitly permits guests with disabilities who use dogs as service animals. The Gorge’s policy, consistent with ADA’s revised guidelines, defines “service animal” as limited to a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the individual’s disability.
The Gorge requires, consistent with the ADA, that service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or the individual’s disability prevents him or her from using these devices. Individuals who cannot use such devices must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective methods.
Emotional support animals are not considered service animals.

- Totems must be made from a lightweight material e.g. foam, PVC / no solid metal

- Totems promoting illegal activity or hate speech will not be permitted

You may bring in water containers (including camelbaks), provided that they are empty as you enter the festival. They will be inspected. You will be able to fill them up inside the venue. Camelbaks that are oversized or part of a non compliant bag are not allowed. Clear bag and size restrictions still apply.

CAN I UPGRADE MY CAMPING PASS?
Camping passes can be upgraded at the gate on arrival, subject to availability.
IS ALCOHOL ALLOWED?
As long as you are of age, alcohol is permitted within the confines of your individual campsite, but no open containers or alcohol consumption is allowed in the public areas or on the roads.
I WANT TO CAMP NEXT TO MY FRIENDS, CAN YOU RESERVE A SPOT?
Camping sites are allocated as you arrive, spaces cannot be held or reserved, so if you want to camp in groups, you must show up at the same time.
CAN I BUY 2 CAMPING PASSES WITH ONE CAR AND HAVE A BIGGER SITE?
Sure – just make sure you show the campground attendant both passes upon arrival.
IS THERE A LIMIT ON TENT SIZE AT THE GORGE?
The approximate dimensions of the camping spots in Standard/General camping are 15’x25’, enough room for a single tent and one vehicle.
The approximate dimensions of the camping spots in Premier camping are 18’x35’, enough room for (2) 2-4 people tents and one vehicle.
The approximate dimensions of the camping spots in Terrace camping are 18'x40’, enough room for (2) 2-4 people tents and one vehicle.
The approximate dimensions of the camping spots in Gold (for certain events only) is 20’x50’ enough room for (2) 2-4 person tents and/or shade awnings and one vehicle.
CAN I HAVE MORE THAN ONE TENT IN OUR CAMPING SPACE ALONG WITH OUT VEHICLE?
Camping spaces are strictly one vehicle per space. If your tents fit within the camping space along with your vehicle, that’s fine.
CAN I CAMP IF I DO NOT HAVE A TICKET FOR THE SHOW?
No, you will need a ticket for the concert in order to enter the campgrounds.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING WITH ME?
- A tent (you’d be surprised!)
- Clothing for all temperatures – temperatures will reach 95°F (35°C) in the day and 55°F (12°C) in the night
- An empty reusable water bottle
- Sunscreen/sunblock
- You can bring your own food for the campground
- A bit of patience, give our staff a wave and a hello, they are working very long hours and really hard to make these shows happen, but expect occasional lines, it happens when thousands descend on one place at one time.
IS THERE A STORE IN THE CAMPGROUND?
Yes, there is. The store has a wide variety of beers, soft drinks & snacks, ice, as well as some of those little necessities you may have forgotten: sunscreen, basic toiletries and the like. The General Store is located close to the main entrance.
CAN I BRING MY DOG?
No. Do not bring any pet whatsoever, not because we don’t like them – we are all animal lovers here – but it is cruel and unfair to the pet to leave it alone in the campground or parking lot, locked up or in a car or tent where it may suffer from extreme heat. When we see a pet in a car or running around the campground unattended, we will alert the authorities and your vehicle may be entered and the pet taken to a shelter for its own welfare. You may be subject to prosecution for cruelty to animals. Service animals are permitted. Emotional support or companion animals do not qualify as “service” animals and are not allowed at the Gorge.
CAN PEOPLE COME TO AND FROM THE GORGE?
Not encouraged – especially during busy ingress period – but provision can be made – you would need to get a re-entry pass from Guest Services on the way out of the campground.
WILL THERE BE A PLACE TO PARK VEHICLES FOR THOSE SHARING CAMPING WITH OTHER PEOPLE?
No – if you want to park a vehicle overnight you will need a camping pass for that vehicle – one vehicle = one camping space. The Gorge parking area does not allow overnight parking.
CAN I VISIT OTHER CAMPING AREAS WITH MY CAMPING PASS?
Terrace pass holders can visit any camping area.
Gold and Premier can visit each other's camping areas and can go to the standard camping area. Standard pass holders can only enter the standard camping area.
