Campsite fees go up, other limits imposed in state forests
Recent rule changes ad-
opted by the Oregon Board
of Forestry adjust camping
fees in state forests, provide
additional benefits to qual-
ifying military veterans and
active-duty service members,
revise overnight stay limits
on state forests, and initiate
a pilot campsite reservation
program at Northrup Creek
Horse Camp.
Drive-in campsites are now
$20 per night for up to two
vehicles, and walk-in tent
sites are $15 per night.
Fees for group campsites
and extra vehicle fees remain
the same, as do fees for desig-
nated camping areas.
Late last month, Oregon
Department of Forestry be-
gan charging camping fees
at sites previously free sites
in the Tillamook State For-
est: Morrison Eddy ($15
per night) along with Cedar
Creek and North Fork Wilson
Designated Campsites ($5
per vehicle per night).
Military veterans with a
service-connected disability
who hold the Veteran’s Spe-
cial Access Pass still can stay
in ODF campgrounds for
free. Additionally, the agency
will waive fees for active-duty
service members on Memo-
rial Day, Independence Day
and Veterans Day.
The rule changes also ad-
dress how long campers may
stay. Stays on state forestland
may be no longer than 14
consecutive days, nor more
than 42 days over a 12-month
period. The change is due to
the increasing trend of people
who stay for long periods of
time and use state forests as
their primary residence.
Long-term camping re-
stricts availability of camping
sites for recreational uses,
and creates safety and sani-
tation challenges, the agency
said.
