Weekend Ride Accommodations
For the Cycle Oregon Weekend, you’ll have several options for accommodations. You can camp in tents on campus, stay in a dorm room, use our Tent Service, sleep in your RV or arrange for other lodging.
Camping
The overnight site at Willamette University will have an area designated for camping – “Tent City,” as it’s affectionately known. Don’t forget to bring your tent, ground cloth, sleeping bag and pad.
Dorm Rooms – SOLD OUT!
If you’d like to stay in a dorm, you can choose from single, double and triple rooms with shared bathroom, as well as doubles and triples with private bathrooms. The prices are as follows:
Single with shared bath – $65
Double with shared bath – $100
Double with private bath – $190
Triple with shared bath – $135
Triple with private bath – $260
Only one person needs to sign up for the room; prices include both Friday and Saturday nights.
Please note: All rooms have single beds. Please remember to bring a pillow, pillowcase, bottom sheet, sleeping bag and towel.
Check-in for dorm rooms begins at 3 p.m. on Friday. Check-out is by 5 p.m. on Sunday. Residence halls are not air-conditioned, so if the forecast is for warmer weather bring a fan for your room.
Tent Service
If you want the star treatment for your camping experience, try the immensely popular Tent Service. Imagine this: You arrive in camp and head directly for a primo camping spot, where a spiffy 9′ x 7′ Cycle Oregon tent has been set up for you. Tents fit one or two people, and the service costs $40 for the weekend.
Tents are limited and available on a first-come, first-set up basis, so register early to ensure your spot. If two of you are sharing, only one should sign up for the service. One or two chairs will be provided with each tent. Sleeping bags and pads are not provided, so please don’t forget to bring yours.
Sleep in Your Vehicle
If you’d like to bring your RV, camp trailer or other vehicle to sleep in, please make sure to register your vehicle when your register so we know how many vehicles to plan for. The cost for bringing a RV is $40. RVs and other camp vehicles will be located in a parking lot on the Willamette University campus; there will be no hook-ups available.
