on a more serious note, will a lot of people here be in the regular (not premier) camping and will a lot of people be swimming all weekend or just thursday - cause we plan on getting there at around 8pm thursday. also will that arrival time give us a terrible spot on the campgroud?

in the booklet it says people will be in premier to feel safe - is that really an issue? im fine with the lack of sleep but i want to feel safe

Here I am thinking that I can't believe Gorge is only two months away! Haven't even seen my first shows of the tour yet.
As far as I know, if you get in on Thursday, you'll get a better spot and probably more space, even come 8pm. That little "tumour area" is overflow camping, they'll try to fill up the main circle first, so you'll probably be in the main circle coming in Thursday night. It's the Friday entry that is more jammed up and crazy. But don't take my word for it, I haven't camped at the Gorge campgrounds since it was all general camping, so what do I know?
As far as safety, I have heard many stories of theft in general camping. Coolers pilfered, tents slashed, that sort of thing. Lock your valuables in your vehicle and take your keys with you for the shows, and you'll generally be ok. Make friends with your neighbours (beer goes a long way!); they can keep an eye on your campsite when you go wandering for showers, honey buckets, food or general entertainment. And you can do the same for them. That being said, if you get a bad vibe from your neighbours, chances are you can (and should) try to re-locate before you set up camp.
Feel free to come visit us in the Gorge thread for general chit-chat!
