Passes & Permits

In Washington and Oregon, some national forest recreation sites require a day use fee. Recreation.gov allows you to book many campsites, cabins, tours, and permits at over 2,700 facilities nationwide. Online reservations for some sites on the Siuslaw National Forest can be obtained at recreation.gov or call 1-877-444-6777.

Special Forest Products include firewood, mushrooms, transplants, Christmas trees, cones, and boughs. These are forest resources not associated with timber sale contracts but are used for personal, commercial, and scientific purposes. This permit is required whenever you plan to sell forest products.

A special use permit is required when you are asking for special privileges on National Forest land. Examples include gatherings of 75 people or more, operating a business, using the forest for financial gain, and commercial filming.

Using a National Forest System Road (NFSR) for commercial hauling requires a permit or written authorization.

The placement of a monument, memorial, or commemorative plaque or bench along trails, overlooks, roadways, or other public place has become an increasingly common practice to memorialize loved ones and important events. This practice can have great significance for friends, family, or people close to the event. For others, memorials can impact their experience, particularly when they are found in natural settings. For this reason, and due to the increase in requests for such memorials across National Forest lands, we are unable to permit them.
