We’re taking two of our most favorite things and putting them together to create an outdoor LAN event in the beautiful mountain ranges of Washington State. Join us as we host Camping LAN in Ronald, WA for three days of 24/7 non-stop gaming action!
LAN (BYOC) Event: 60 Seat LAN area for participants to bring and set up their home gaming systems while enjoying the beautiful outdoors and mountain view! Game in an authentic military tent into the early hours of the morning!

Due to the limited resources at the location, power and internet speeds will be limited.
You will be limited to 1 Monitor and 3ft of desk space. We will have monitor rentals available. System rentals and camping cot rentals are available, but limited. Sign up early to ensure availability!
Internet access will be available, but limited due to the remoteness of the site. We may restrict or limit bandwidth due to this constraint. Please expect online games to have impactful latency, so LAN games are highly encouraged. Please ensure all games and software are up to date before packing for the event. We will have a game cache server on site to attempt to cache all popular titles, but please ensure that your game libraries are up to date the day before the event if possible.
Laptops or Steam Decks are good options but we will have power for desktops.
Basic folding chairs will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own chair. Please keep in mind that the tents may be on an uneven surface.
Tables are provided, and each seat will have 3ft of desk space, 2 seats per table.
Accommodations:
Tents: We will have areas available for you to pitch your tent and set up camp! Please be sure to bring any accommodations you need as none will be provided other than space on the ground! Wind at the site can be moderate, with large gusts. Tent stakes and cordage is recommended.
Shared Sleeping Tent Space: Don’t want to bring your own tent? Purchase a spot and cozy up with your fellow gamers in our sleeping tent! Cot not included but recommended.
RVs: RV’s and trailers are welcome to attend! Please keep in mind there are no hookups, so vehicles must be self sufficient. We have ample space out from the property on the bed of the lake for you to set up your RV’s and trailers. There is a local sewer dump about 10 minutes from the property.
Bathrooms: There will be porta potties and hand wash stations available during the event, but no showers. There is local access to Cle Elum Lake, so feel free to go take a dip!
Camp fires may be permitted at the event in designated areas, however this is subject to change due to local regulations and potential burn bans that may be in effect.
