ToorCamp is the five day, open air, tech camping event that attracts around 600 of the top technology enthusiasts to the Washington Coast. This year’s camp is located at the Doe Bay Resort on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands in Washington State. The weather averages a low of ~50 degrees at night and a high of ~75 degrees during the day with water temperatures averaging ~53 degrees. The main campsite area is where the main talks, workshops, and other parties will be held along with all of the theme campsites, and general camping. There are also 31 cabins, 6 yurts, and 2 geodesic domes at the resort that are available for attendees to stay in.

Main Campsite Area

In the main campsite area we have all of the main activities located in the middle of the camp and cabins throughout. There will be a few different areas designated for general camping and private campsites available for certain individuals that would like to pay extra to camp on the side of a cliff overlooking the bay or in a secluded area away from the hustle and bustle of the camp. There are also some great yurts and domes that are available in case you still want to camp but don’t want to haul out a tent. The main campsite area has public showers and restrooms as well as portapotties. Wired and wireless internet access is provided throughout the campsite. Wired power is limited to camps that are located close to the center of the camp so if it happens to be something your camp requires please let us know. If you aren’t part of a campsite we have a public camping area that you’re welcome to use but we encourage you to become involved with a group camp and make some friends while you’re at it!

Beach

The beach is just a few steps away from both camping areas and definitely doesn’t disappoint. It’s one of the most beautiful areas of Washington with views of islands as far as you can see. There’s space to dock boats in the bay for those arriving by boat and seals and otters can often be found in the waters around the resort. The resort also features a soaking tub and sauna that’ll be available for use throughout the event if you’re looking for something a little warmer.
