You may have heard the Oregon State Park system will stop accommodating overnight stays starting April 3 through and including May 8. That is true. Unfortunately, your entire reservation will be cancelled. You will receive a full refund, including your reservation fee, in 5 – 7 business days. If you do not see your refund after this time, please contact us: 1-800-551-6949 or email: [email protected].

Before May 8, we will decide whether to continue suspending camping.

This is being done to help Oregon control the spread of COVID-19, and we appreciate your support. While visiting, remember to follow advice from the Oregon Health Authority (https://govstatus.egov.com/OR-OHA-COVID-19).
