I went to Sasquatch like 5-6 years ago...
At that time, if you had a camping pass, you were put out in a giant field with absolutely no cover, or shade (think southern Saskatchewan, but in central Washington). The only public washrooms/showers were at the very front of the field near the entrance to the venue, which, depending on when you arrived, was a good 20 minute walk. There were outhouses and wash up sinks scattered around the field, but by the Sunday morning, these were severely vandalized, and literally had poo rising up, above the seat.
Once you entered the camp ground, you were not permitted to leave, as there was no re-entry, so you had to ensure you had every supply you were going to need. There was a store, in the same building as the public washrooms, but everything was ridiculously expensive (including ice for keeping food cold).
Obviously, if you're in a RV of some sort, the washroom thing won't be too much of an issue, and I've heard from friends that they've changed some of their policies regarding re-entry.
It wasn't all crappy though...the concert line up was top notch, and the Gorge is a really amazing "natural" amphitheater, with a great backdrop to the stage. The weather was pretty great too, although the location does seem to get a lot of pretty big thunder storms. On the Saturday, a massive hail storm hit, and lasted a good hour, leaving an inch of hail on the ground. This lead to hundreds of people sliding down the hill for fun, as it's pretty steep.
Just make sure, like others have said, to drink a lot of water, and bring rain gear.
