Recreation Fee Proposals

The Willamette National Forest is proposing fee changes at multiple campgrounds, group campgrounds, cabins, and lookouts. These fee changes are proposed to keep up with rising staffing, utility, and maintenance costs, as well as for price consistency between other local, county, state, federal and private opportunities. The public comment period on these changes is open until October 15, 2023.
