Question 1

What is Shady Rest Campground?

Accepted Answer

Shady Rest Campground is a family-owned private property that opens once a year for camping during the Oregon Country Fair. The rest of the year, this land is simply our home 🏡

During campout, we offer live music, good vibes, and a fun, welcoming atmosphere for our campers to create and connect.

Because this is a short-term, permitted event, some infrastructure and services are limited. We do our best with what we have—think rustic charm over luxury—and encourage everyone to plan accordingly.

✨ Come prepared, come flexible, and come ready to have a great time!

Question 2

Are you a festival?

Accepted Answer

Nope! Shady Rest Campground is a campground, not a festival.

We host campers and day trippers attending the Oregon Country Fair and offer a mini festival–style experience each year just for our wonderful campers—think live music, good vibes, and community fun.

But to be clear: we are not the Oregon Country Fair  and we are not a standalone festival.

Please bring all the drinking water needed for the weekend. There is no potable water on site. There will be areas of the camp that offer free water bottles, but please don’t rely on that solely to get you through.

Well... it depends! Oregon law requires that genitals must be covered in public spaces. More
importantly, any unsafe behavior or harassment is not tolerated and will result in immediate
expulsion from the campground. Respect others and keep the vibe fun and safe for all.

No. Please be respectful of your neighbors. Quiet hours start at 11:00 PM, and we ask that all
music be kept at a considerate volume. Save the all-night parties for headphones or designated
zones (if applicable).

Moink’s Marsh is Shady Rest Campground’s sister sanctuary right next door. Campers who make their home in the Marsh are welcome to wander freely into Shady Rest to enjoy all activities and offerings — and Shady Rest campers are invited to explore Moink’s Marsh in return. One shared village, two beloved spaces, no extra cost.
