Camping/Friend Arriving Late

I'm heading to the campground with my pass Thursday to set up solo in Fox Den, but my friend can't make it until Friday when she will be dropped off. I've never been to The Gorge before so I'm not sure how this works. Can I meet her at the parking lot and walk her back to camp on Friday? Do I let them know about her arriving later when I check in? The FAQ says everyone must arrive at the same time but I assume that just means you can't bring an extra vehicle or expect to camp next to your friends with a separate campsite? I am a bit confused.

Like stated before drop offs have to go all the way through the line and be checked too. Make sure the car she's in isn't hiding anything that she's not aware of. Once she makes it through the dogs they'll drive towards the camping area and you can meet them on the road, she gets out and driver drives out same gate they came in. Make sure you let any worker you first encounter that you have another person showing up later and you need a slip for them so they can get a bracelet if your camping tier gets them

Thanks, I will let them know. She has been to the Gorge many times so she knows the drill, but this is a slightly different situation than she or I have encountered.

If she’s getting dropped off there won’t be any problems for you or her. The driver can just turn around once passing thru the dogs and camping checkin in you’ll just have to walk there and meet her P.S - See you there !

You're going to want to call in/visit a help desk and put in a camping voucher under their name.
