RV camping near The Gorge Amphitheatre
Dave Matthews Band closes out the summer touring season with its long-running Labor Day weekend residency at The Gorge Amphitheatre, usually taking place over the first weekend in September. The run spans three consecutive nights, each with its own opening acts and a setlist that never repeats a song across the weekend. The Gorge itself is a natural amphitheater cut into the cliffs above the Columbia River in George, Washington, with the stage framed by canyon walls and river views that regularly rank it among the most scenic concert venues in the country. Expect warm, dry high desert days that cool quickly once the sun drops behind the canyon, so evenings can feel far chillier than the afternoon.
The remote, high desert setting is part of the draw: George sits well outside Seattle and Spokane, so most fans treat the weekend as a proper road trip rather than a quick night out. On-site camping right behind the venue, along with nearby options like WildHorse Campground and the Crescent Bar area along the Columbia River, means you can settle in for all three nights without breaking down camp in between. An RV is a natural fit for this kind of stay: you bring your own bed, kitchen, and bathroom instead of relying on portable toilets and a cooler that runs out of ice by day two. Driving your rig in also means you set your own schedule between sets, meals, and rest, rather than coordinating shuttle pickups with a group. Parking close to the gates cuts down on the walk back after a late show, and camping among other RVs turns the lot into its own pre-show tailgate scene. For a three-night run built around community and endurance, having a home base on wheels makes the whole weekend easier to enjoy.

The Gorge Amphitheatre, WA, US
Getting to The Gorge Amphitheatre means driving into the heart of central Washington, since George sits along Interstate 90 roughly two and a half hours east of Seattle and about two hours west of Spokane. Most RV renters take I-90 to exit 143, then follow the well-marked amphitheater signs a few miles to the venue entrance at 754 Silica Road NW. The final approach includes some gentle grades and curves as the road drops toward the Columbia River, so take it slow and give yourself extra following distance in a larger rig. Camper gates are separated from general parking, with Gate A off Silica Road handling premium and RV camping and Gate D on Road 1 NW handling standard sites, so check your camping pass before you arrive. Lots open hours ahead of showtime and fill quickly over the long weekend, so rolling in early gets you a flatter, easier site to level your RV. Once parked, it is a short walk from the RV camping areas to the gates, making it easy to head back to your rig between sets.

Frequently asked questions about renting an RV for Dave Matthews Band Labor Day Weekend
When does Dave Matthews Band play their Labor Day weekend shows at The Gorge?
You are in luck: this is one of the most reliable dates on the touring calendar. Dave Matthews Band has closed out the summer at The Gorge Amphitheatre nearly every year since the tradition took hold in the early 2000s, and the run consistently falls over Labor Day weekend, typically the first weekend in September. It is a three night stand, Friday through Sunday, with a different pair of opening acts each night and no song repeated across the weekend. Official dates and the on-sale schedule are confirmed each spring on the band's official site, so bookmark it once the new tour is announced. Plan your RV rental around a Thursday arrival if you want a full day to set up camp before the first show.
davematthewsband.com/tourHow do I get tickets for Dave Matthews Band's Labor Day weekend at The Gorge?
Good news first: this is a well-oiled ticketing process, not a scramble. Tickets for the three night run go on sale through the official Dave Matthews Band site and the venue's ticketing partner, usually with a members-only presale in spring followed by a general on-sale a few days later. Three-day passes tend to move fastest since many fans treat the weekend as one continuous event, so grabbing a pass as soon as it drops gives you the best shot at good seats or lawn access. RVezy does not sell or resell event admission, so plan to buy directly through the official channels once dates are announced. Once that part is locked in, put your energy into the fun part: choosing your RV and camping spot for the weekend.
davematthewsband.com/tourWhat is the best way to get an RV into The Gorge Amphitheatre?
Getting your RV into The Gorge is easier than it looks from the outside. From Interstate 90, take exit 143 and follow the clearly marked amphitheater signs for the final few miles into George. RV and car camping use separate gates from general parking, with Gate A off Silica Road NW serving premium and RV camping areas and Gate D on Road 1 NW serving standard camping, so know your pass type before you roll up. Lots open several hours ahead of the first show and the road has some curves and grades as it nears the river, so take the descent slowly in a larger rig. Arriving early on day one gets you a flatter site and an easier time leveling up before the music starts.
georgeamphitheatre.com/gorge-amphitheatre-parking/What is the vibe like at Dave Matthews Band's Labor Day weekend shows?
Expect a weekend that feels more like a reunion than a typical concert. Across the three nights, Dave Matthews Band pairs with a rotating lineup of opening acts and plays a different setlist each night with no repeated songs, so regulars often catch all three shows just to hear it all unfold. The natural amphitheater setting, carved into the cliffs above the Columbia River, means the view competes with the stage for your attention, especially as the sun sets mid show. Between sets, the camping areas turn into their own scene, with neighbors sharing grills, music, and stories from past years at The Gorge. First timers should plan to arrive early enough to walk the grounds before gates open, since the setting is half the reason people come back every year.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gorge_AmphitheatreWhat is the weather like and what should I pack for The Gorge in early September?
You will want layers, and that is the main thing to plan around. Early September in George sits in Washington's high desert, so afternoons are typically warm and dry with highs in the 70s, while temperatures can drop into the 50s or cooler once the sun disappears behind the canyon walls. Pack sunscreen, a hat, and light clothing for the show, then add a warm layer or jacket for after dark and for mornings around camp. Rain is uncommon this time of year but not impossible, so a light rain shell is worth the small amount of space it takes in your RV. Bring a headlamp for the walk back to camp after the last encore, since the grounds are large and get dark fast once the show wraps.
Can I bring my kids to see Dave Matthews Band at The Gorge?
Yes, this is a general admission concert weekend that welcomes fans of all ages, not just adults. Families do attend, especially for the earlier openers before the evening sets, and the RV camping areas give kids room to roam that a hotel room never could. That said, it is still a late night, multi day concert environment with loud music and a lot of walking, so it suits older kids and teens more comfortably than very young children. Confirm any specific entry or camping rules for minors on the venue's official site closer to the dates you plan to attend. If you are traveling with family, booking an RV with a bit of extra room to spread out in the evening makes the long weekend far more comfortable for everyone.
gorgeamphitheatre.com/Can I bring my own food and drinks to Dave Matthews Band weekend, or eat on-site?
The good news is you will not go hungry either way. The Gorge has on-site food and drink vendors throughout the grounds and camping areas, covering everything from festival classics to grab-and-go options between sets. Most outdoor amphitheaters, including The Gorge, restrict outside alcohol and glass containers into the concert bowl itself, though camping areas are generally more relaxed for food and drink you bring for your own site. Having an RV works in your favor here: you can cook real meals at your campsite, keep drinks cold in your own fridge, and only rely on venue vendors for snacks during the actual show. Check the venue's current policy on exactly what you can carry in before each night so you know what to leave at the RV.
gorgeamphitheatre.com/Are all RV types welcome at The Gorge for Dave Matthews Band weekend?
Yes, The Gorge is set up to handle everything from small camper vans to full size Class A motorhomes. The venue's Big Rig RV camping option specifically offers larger sites, around 20 by 50 feet, sized for bigger rigs and their tow vehicles, while standard RV camping suits smaller trailers and Class B or C rigs. You will choose your camping tier, such as standard, premier, or Gold and Big Rig, when you buy your camping pass, and that choice determines which gate and area you park in. There are no strict class exclusions, but always confirm current length and hookup details on the venue's camping page before you book, since availability by rig size can shift from year to year. Picking the right tier ahead of time means you roll straight to your spot instead of hunting for room on arrival.
georgeamphitheatre.com/gorge-amphitheatre-camping/Can I have an RV delivered to me near The Gorge instead of driving one myself?
Yes, delivery is worth checking, and it can save you the long haul across the state entirely. Search RVezy for George, Washington with delivery turned on to see which local hosts currently offer drop-off near the venue for your travel dates, since availability shifts with demand around the Labor Day weekend rush. If nothing comes up right at George, widen your search to nearby central Washington towns along I-90, where hosts are more likely to deliver into the Gorge area for a fee. Booking early matters more than usual here, since this is one of the busiest weekends of the year for RV demand in the region. Delivery means you skip driving an unfamiliar rig over mountain passes and can fly or road trip in light instead.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=George,%20Washington&DeliveryIs there RV camping right at The Gorge Amphitheatre, or do I need to stay off-site?
You can camp right behind the venue, which is one of the best parts of this weekend. The Gorge offers on-site RV camping with 30 and 50 amp hookups a short walk from the gates, plus a Big Rig option for larger rigs, so most attendees never leave the property for all three nights. If on-site camping sells out or you want more space, options like WildHorse Campground and the Crescent Bar area along the Columbia River sit within about a 30 to 45 minute drive and are popular with the Labor Day weekend crowd. Either way, book your camping pass or nearby site as early as possible, since spots fill fast once tickets for the weekend go on sale.
georgeamphitheatre.com/gorge-amphitheatre-camping/What are my options if I want to stay near The Gorge but not in an RV park?
There is more nearby than the remote setting suggests. The small towns of George, Quincy, and Vantage sit within a short drive and offer a mix of hotels, vacation rentals, and additional campgrounds, including the Vantage Riverstone Resort just across the Columbia River. That said, most fans still choose to camp with their RV directly on the grounds or at WildHorse Campground, since it keeps you close to the action for all three nights without a shuttle or late night drive back to a hotel. If you do book a hotel farther away, in Ellensburg or Moses Lake for example, plan on a 30 to 45 minute drive each way and factor that into your night. Staying on-site in your own RV is generally the easiest way to enjoy the full weekend without the back and forth.
hipcamp.com/en-US/d/united-states/washington/george/camping/allDoes The Gorge Amphitheatre offer accessibility services for the Labor Day weekend shows?
Yes, accessible viewing and services are part of the standard setup at The Gorge, not an afterthought. The venue provides accessible parking and seating areas along with accommodations for attendees with mobility needs, and staff can point you to the right entrance and viewing area once you arrive. If you are camping in your RV, let the venue know about any accessibility needs when you book your camping pass so they can help place you close to the accessible paths and facilities. Reach out to the venue directly ahead of time to confirm current accessible parking locations and any request process, since exact setups can be refined season to season. Planning this one detail ahead of time makes the rest of the weekend far smoother.
gorgeamphitheatre.com/Any tips for first timers coming to Dave Matthews Band weekend at The Gorge?
First time here is a good time, and a little planning makes it even better. Arrive early on day one since parking, camp setup, and the walk to your site take longer than a typical concert, and you want daylight for leveling your RV. Bring layers for the temperature swing between warm afternoons and cool desert nights, along with a headlamp for the walk back to camp after the show. Because the band plays a different setlist each night with no repeats, veterans often treat all three nights as one event, so pace yourself instead of treating night one like the finale. Take a few minutes before the music starts to actually look around: the canyon and river views are a big part of why this venue has such a loyal following.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gorge_AmphitheatreWhat should I know about safety and rules for the Labor Day weekend shows?
The essentials here are straightforward and mostly common sense for an outdoor, multi day concert. Standard venue rules apply, including restrictions on outside alcohol, glass, and certain bag sizes at the gates, plus a security check on entry, so pack accordingly and leave prohibited items at your RV. Re-entry policies can vary by night, so confirm current re-entry rules for your ticket type before you head in, especially if you plan to duck back to camp between sets. Keep your RV site tidy and follow posted quiet hours in the camping areas, since it keeps the community friendly for the full three nights. Staying a step ahead on these basics means you spend your energy enjoying the music instead of untangling avoidable hassles at the gate.
gorgeamphitheatre.com/How does RVezy support me if something goes wrong during Labor Day weekend at The Gorge?
You are covered well beyond just the keys to the RV. RVezy connects you with a wide range of hosts and vehicle types so you can pick the right rig for a three night stay at The Gorge, and every booking comes with access to RVezy's customer support team and protection plans in case something unexpected comes up on the road or at camp. The RVezy mobile app keeps your trip details, host messages, and support options in one place, which is handy when you are out of cell range near the canyon. If an issue comes up before or during your trip, the RVezy Help Center walks you through next steps and how to reach support quickly. That kind of backup means you can focus on the music and the canyon views instead of worrying about the what ifs.
