best tent camping in washington state image
Aaron Gole
I didn't go in 2012, and am hoping to buy tickets when they go on sale. I went to the official watershed website to find details but I found myself confused after. How does the camping work? How much do tickets cost? For camping and show. What is the parking situation? It seems like there were a lot of details but it kept going back and forth. Can someone explain to me how everything works? Thank you. It is at the Gorge Amphitheater in Washington State. I would appreciate an answer from those of you who went last year. One more thing, I want to go for the entire three day festival and camp. Thanks again!
Answer
I went last year. It's will be for 3 days. You need to bring your own tent or camper. Tickets are about $60. Parking is ample and spacious. It's great. You'll have a versatile lineup of artists, camping, late night sets, impromptu jam sessions, collaborations and more.

Do you have any good tips for a camping trip?

This summer I am going with my family on a camping trip. We do not know a whole lot about camping so I was wondering if you had any advice about things we should know or be aware of. Thanks!
Answer
I can assure you the guy who talks like Charlie Manson wouldn't know a bear if one came up and bit him on the pecker. There are plenty of places to camp where bears of any kind don't even exist. I came upon a black bear once while backpacking in a National Park in Washington State and it was the highlight of the whole two month trip through the National Park system i was then in the midst of. I just made shouted like they say you should, waved my arms about, forgot NOT to look directly in its eyes (anyway, i'm still here to talk about it) and the bear just ambled off the trail he and I were having a Mexican standoff on and continued minding its own business foraging for berries without further incident. The whole experience made my day...only time I ever actually saw a bear that close up.
If you do happen to be in bear country, you can "bear bag" your food (put it in a bag, tie a long rope to the end of it and suspend it from a sturdy tree branch towards the end of the branch where it's weakest and the bear would break the branch if he climbed the tree and walked out on it.)
Just tie a rock or something to the free end of the rope, chuck it over the branch, grab the free end again when it comes back down to you on the other side, and tie it off on the tree trunk. Or use a bear canister like you can rent in National Parks, or buy one and bury it some distance from your campsite.
Some places where bears are often found have free storage lockers specifically for storing food so bears can't get it. Don't keep food in your tent. Or your car. A bear can rip off a car door like a pull tab on a soda can if it detects the aroma of a tasty tidbit within. These guys have an unbelievable sense of smell and will eat almost anything that's half way edible.
Cook and eat food a bit of a distance from your tent. Wear certain clothes just for cooking and keep them away from your tent. I have heard that women having their periods can attract bears, but have no personal experience with this being a guy, so check it out independently, i'm not a hundred percent on that one.
Of course, if you're not camping in bear country none of this stuff even applies. Just enjoy your camping, wherever you decide to do it. It's not as hard as you might think once you actually. It can be fairly addicting, and you might not want to go back to "civilization" afterwards, if you're like some people.
Plenty of info on the Internet about how to go about it. The rest is just following the learning curve. The more you do it, the better you'll get at it. A lot of it is pretty intuitive and just using common sense.
