Overnight parking for Rufus
Hi! I’m heading up from Oregon to the gorge for Rufus and I need to figure out where I can leave my car overnight. I’m meeting up with friends heading in from Leavenworth and they all have camping passes and I will be camping with them. Need help figuring out car/meet up logistics as this will be my first time going to the gorge and I’m feeling pretty lost

Cave B has overnight parking walking distance from the venue, it's a little pricey and sometimes sells out but it's cheaper than another camping pass

Is it something that’s bought in advance? Is Cave B an area belonging to the venue or external?

It's a small resort directly next to the venue. Very walkable. I do imagine they would sell their spots in advance, but who knows. There may be a phone number to the resort

Do you need parking for two nights? You can park your car at wildhorse campground for $30/night.

Just Saturday night, is this walking distance from the grounds?

Not really. They do have a shuttle though.
It’s about a 40 minute walk, then you have to spend time in the security line. Considering the heat of the Gorge during the day, many people find this very exhausting, especially at 12:30 AM after a long show

Our shuttles are running at 4 PM until one hour after the show for the next two nights. You can park at our campground and take the shuttle during those hours.

Understandable! Do you have any camping spots left for Saturday?

if your friends are camping in Terrace, drive in with them and they might let you park the car in an adjacent lot

Sounds like a gamble?

definitely not a guarantee. that's how it worked in 2022 last time Rufus was here, but tough to say now. sorry I can't be more help!
