"I suspect Oregon Solar Fest will be a zoo"
I don't doubt that for one second.
It will be a zoo at best, a debacle or worse if the organizers haven't
accounted for the volume of visitors.
Then again, when you wait til the last minute, your options get limited.
I have told people not to plan on driving down the day of or even the day
before because the roads are likely to be a mess.

I'd rather be out where I can hear the birds and stuff!
I've got a camp spot near Baker OR and plan to head further south from
town.

We are headed to SE idaho near rexburg.
We have had our reservation going on a year now and they are completely
full now.
I know that the last time I checked https://www.oregonsolarfest.com
still had spots.

If you want a guaranteed reservation to camp with showers, there are a
couple high schools in Oregon with openings:

Hi Matt,
I think your best bet is probably in one of the National Forests near
the center line in Idaho or Oregon.
Some more info...

Does anyone have a camping spot or group camping spot booked they are
willing to share for the solar eclipse? My wife and I are thinking about
watching it from Grand Teton area but are flexible and are open to
watching
it anywhere really. We would also help pay!
If not we will go early for a first come first serve spot.
Thank you!
