Gorge officials say this is fine if it fits into the allotted space which they say is 15' X 25' in standard camping (aka District 9). So a couple of questions:
1. Do I need to be concerned about that exact space allotment, or will there be room to park both vehicles, with the trailer awning extended out? If not, is it worthwhile to purchase a second camping pass and take up that space?
2. Do they allow generators?
3. Are you allowed to drive out and back in at you leisure, and if so, is this a difficult process?
4. I have heard that they sell standard camping passes onsite. Do they also sell Premier onsite?
Lastly, I have noticed on this thread that there are a lot of people flying in that are concerned about equipment (tents, chairs, etc.). I have a couple of extra tents that I would be willing to loan people if someone is in need. One will sleep 2-3 quite comfortably with all your belongings inside. The other one will sleep 4-5 the same way. If anyone is interested in that please let me know and we can figure out a way to meet up.
Thanks in advance.

1. The secret to getting enough space is to pull in wider than they're telling you to, and to jump out immediately and start staking out your space with your gear. When they pull in the next car, they'll pull it in next to the space you've claimed. Chat up the neighbours, make sure you're not encroaching on their space, and make friends, since you'll be camping together for the weekend!
2. Yes
3. Yes, but make sure you don't return to camp too close to show time, as the traffic can start to build up quite a bit in the afternoons.
4. Yes, they will have standard camping for sale at the gate. Nothing else -- all other camping levels are sold out.
