Vehicle camping is any vehicle used for camping during the event, such as RVs, pop-tops, trailers, or campers choosing to sleep in their car. Vehicles over 25 feet are not allowed. All camping vehicles must purchase a Vehicle Camping Permit. The Vehicle Camping Permit includes an onsite Vehicle Camping Permit and if you have a tow vehicle, an offsite parking permit will be provided.

What to expect

ToorCamp has just a few designated areas within Doe Bay where vehicle camping is allowed. These vehicle camping spots are generally located in or near the existing parking lots on the property and will be grouped with other similar sized camping vehicles. There are more opportunities for camping vehicles that are under 20 feet in length, and due to our space limitations, vehicles over 25 feet are not allowed.

Space Team will assign you an onsite parking spot for your camping vehicle. For the safety of you and your neighbors, once a camping vehicle has been parked, it is not allowed to move and must stay parked until the end of the event. There are no in & out privileges for vehicles used for camping. If you need to leave early (before Sunday), please let a member of Space Team know.

Towing vehicles that were used to tow a camping trailer or pop-up camper will be parked in the offsite parking lot.

Power & Hookups

Doe Bay does not have any RV hook-ups on the property, and their electrical situation has limitations, so we encourage you to plan ahead, as we cannot guarantee that we can bring power to your parking spot/campsite. Please see Power for more information. Doe Bay discourages the use of generators, but, if necessary (to be determined on a case by case basis), they can be run minimally and respectfully.

Extra kudos if you are set up for boondocking!
