Campsite reservation changes due
Future reservation cus-
tomers might be required to
pay all booking and rental fees
at the time they reserve state
park campsites and picnic ar-
eas, according to the Oregon
Parks & Recreation Dept.
(OPRD).
Reservations Northwest,
OPRD’s central reservations
service, now charges a $6 res-
ervation fee, per booking, plus
a first night’s deposit on a
campsite. A customer reserv-
ing a $22 full hook-up site for
three nights pays $28.
Under the new policy, the
same customer would pay $72
in advance, the $6 reservation
fee plus $66 for the three
nights.
The public will have a
chance to comment on the
proposed full payment change
during administrative rule-
making hearings on Thursday,
April 16 at Champoeg State
Heritage Area; Tuesday, April
21 in Newport; and Thursday,
April 23 in Bend.
People also can respond,
starting immediately, through
OPRD’s Website or by e-mail
to res.nw@state.or.us, or by
writing to OPRD at 725 Sum-
mer St. N.E., Suite C, Salem
OR 97301, Attn: Richard
Walkoski. The department will
accept comments until Friday,
April 24.
The proposed rule change
is online along with answers to
frequently asked questions at
www.o regon.gov/OPRD/
PARKS (see “Frequently
asked questions” under “Let’s
Go Camping.”)
OPRD is proposing the
full fee payment to counteract
an overbooking problem.
“Some people reserve
sites for the maximum 14 days
that you’re allowed to rent the
same site,” said Richard
Walkoski, OPRD Recreation
Programs manager. “When
their arrival date at the park
gets closer, they cancel all but
the final dates of the 14-day
period that they intended to
camp.”
The overbooking tactic
can give its practitioners a 12-
day head start over customers
who try, nine months in ad-
vance, to reserve a site for only
the dates they intend to use it.
An Oregon state park campsite
cannot be reserved more than
nine months before an arrival
date.
Walkoski says that only 7
percent of the customers who
reserve a site for 14 days stay
the entire time. As a result,
many campsites are unavail-
able to reserve until as little as
two days before the reserva-
tion holder’s false arrival date.
“That’s unfair to people
who use the reservations sys-
tems as it is intended to be
used, and it’s costly to us,”
said Walkoski. “Some of those
sites go unoccupied, costing
parks potential revenue.”
Requiring full payment up
front could dramatically re-
duce the practice, said
Walkoski. “It could present a
cash flow hardship for some
people,” he said, “but almost
half our customers already are
making full payments when
they reserve their sites so that
they can take advantage of our
express check-in option.”
Campers who arrive at a
park having paid in advance
for every night of their stay
can bypass its registration
booth and head directly to their
reserved sites.
The overbooking problem
is not exclusive to Oregon.
“It’s a nationwide issue
for state park systems that of-
fer reservation services,” said
Walkoski. “Most of those
states have adopted full-
payment policies to try to re-
solve the problem.”

Drug deaths in Oregon show increase
Statistics for 2008 show a
huge jump in methampheta-
mine-related deaths, an increase
in heroin-related deaths, and a
slight drop in cocaine-related
deaths.
Information on drug-
related death statistics for 2008
reflect a continuing rise since
1999, said Dr. Karen Gunson,
Oregon State medical examiner.
“Methamphetamine-related
deaths skyrocketed last year,
more than doubling what was
seen seven years ago, and it is
the obvious reason why there
was such a large overall in-
crease” said Gunson. “Beyond
what was noted in last year’s
statistics, a review of other drug
deaths is now revealing pre-
scription drug overdoes out-
numbered illicit drug deaths in
some cases.”
Statistics released by her
indicate that 229 people died in
Oregon last year from the use of
heroin, cocaine, methampheta-
mine, or a combination of those
drugs. Following a significant
drop during 2001, last year’s
number was an 8 percent in-
crease from 2007 when there
were 212 drug-related deaths.
Prescription drug over-
doses from methadone use was
noted in 131 deaths, and another
39 people died from oxycodone
overdose.
“Most of the methadone
overdoses occurred in chronic
pain patients or those people
who obtained the drug illegally,
rather than those involved in
addiction treatment programs,”
said Gunson.
A closer look at the 229
illicit drug-related deaths and
the frequency of use in the total
number of these deaths re-
flected:
*Methamphetamine use
was related to 106 deaths;
clearly reaching the highest
level reflected in available sta-
tistics since 1996 and a 45 per-
cent jump over the 73 deaths
reported in 2007.
*Heroin use was related to
119 deaths, a slight increase
from 118 deaths in 2007, but
still the highest number since
2000 in this category.
*Cocaine use was related
to 51 deaths, a slight drop from
62 deaths during 2007 and the
second lowest in this category
since 2000.
*Combination of drug use
was related to 46 deaths, up
from 40 deaths in 2007 and the
third highest in this category
since 1996.
Some counties that showed
decreases in total drug-related
deaths in comparison to 2007
statistics:
*Jackson County drug-
related deaths decreased from
13 (2007) to seven (2008).
*Clackamas County drug-
related deaths decreased from
16 (2007) to nine (2008).
*Lane County drug-related
deaths declined from 26 (2007)
to 21 (2008).
*Multnomah County drug-
related deaths dropped slightly
from 111 (2007) to 106 (2008).
It should be noted that
drops were seen in heroin and
cocaine categories, but obvious
increases in methamphetamine
and combination use categories.
Some counties that showed
increases in total drug-related
deaths in comparison to 2007
statistics:
*Josephine County drug-
related deaths increased from
four (2007) to seven (2008).
(Two were from heroin, five
from meth).
*Deschutes County drug-
related deaths increased from 2
(2007) to six (2008).
*Marion County drug-
related deaths rose from 15
(2007) to 22 (2008).
*Washington County sta-
tistics were about the same with
12 reported deaths in 2008 fol-
lowing 11 reported in 2007.
Information for all counties
that had at least one drug-related
death is available in the 2008
report.
