No. These are dry camping sites located in a paved parking lot. There is water located throughout the campground. Campers can fill their trailers before parking, or if your spot is close enough to a water spigot, you can run a hose to the water source to top off. Campers are not allowed to stay connected to the spigots during the event. The hose spigots are only available to fill tanks, not to provide a constant water connection during the event. There are no dump locations for gray or black water in this campground. Gray water is not permitted to be dumped on the pavement or in the grass. If you need your tanks serviced during the event, please call Roto-Rooter at (541) 290-0775. They will be camped on the sand and would be happy to service your trailer for a small fee.
