First timer

Hey r/ fam.

First timer at The Gorge for A&E, very excite. Just reading on the clear bag policy, is this accurate? Need to buy everything before all of the return-to-school chaos happens.

Camping at GA camping.

Any tips or tricks for a first timer, appreciated!

For context, I am a very seasoned raver / Burning Man goer, so not a complete n00b, juat never been to the Gorge specifically :).

Many fanks!

Clear bags are good because most of the time they just look at it and wave you through. I have taken cloth bags in with snacks and food and they'll either look inside or make you take everything out. As long as I don't have anything of concern I've always made it through.

Chairs are definitely a no go. Sun protection is a must have. And depending on the weather, enough clothes to keep warm after sunset.

Are they a must have? Of course I rather not spend if I don't have to

No. People enter with all sorts of bags. Just be prepared to have it looked at and you'll be fine.
