getting in
Zumwalt Campground opens between noon and 1 p.m. on the Thursday before the Oregon Country Fair. Early entry is not permitted (except for workers/volunteers) and is strictly enforced. You will not be allowed to line up at or near the gate. Be prepared for gridlock when the gate first opens. Keep love in your heart and a smile on your face. We're all heading to the same place!
coming and going
You ducked the sweep at the Fair and plan to take in some of the after hours action. Keep in mind that the gate into Zumwalt closes to vehicle traffic at 10 p.m. each evening and reopens at 8 a.m. the next day. Last bus back to Zumwalt leaves the Fair at around 8 p.m. Don't miss it! It's a 5 mile walk back to camp.
when to leave
We are kicked out of Zumwalt Park at 11 a.m. of Country Fair weekend. You will know the time is coming because volunteers will be driving about with a bullhorn and there will be tow trucks showing up (for real!). It's is a big job to clean up ZCG and they need all the freaky peeps out to get the work done. Do your best to get on the road on time. If you're heading into the Fair on Sunday, remember to get a parking pass when you purchase your tickets.
