The fun music festival is right on the main Umpqua River in a beautiful group campground with pavilion, workshops, Saturday night potluck, campfire, jamming, Sunday morning & afternoon Gospel shows, hiking, fishing, camping, swimming. A few limited paved sites (with fire ring and picnic table) for big RVs, but many sites available with dry camping in the meadow. Sorry, reservations are not available. Come after gate opens on 2pm Saturday.  The sliding scale suggested donation is $20-30 per person. Gate opens at 2 PM Saturday. No early arrivals at Eagleview please. If you do show up early, camp in the public Tyee Campground about a half mile away. Event ends at 11 AM on Monday when we have to be out of the Eagleview Campground (so the hosts cane clean and prepare it for the next group who has it reserved). Many band videos are on You Tube from previous Eagleview events. Supported by the OBA’s Roseburg Chapter, Roseburg Folklore Society, Oregon Oldtime Fiddlers’ Assn. and Lagunitas Brewing Co.
