Oregon State Parks Camping Fee Refund for Active Duty Service Members on Leave

Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD)

Refund of camping and day-use fees for stays taken while on leave

You can get your Oregon state park camping fees refunded for a stay while you were on leave. Unlike veterans with a disability, who get a pass, you pay up front and then claim the money back. The refund covers RV sites, tent campsites, standard horse campsites and day-use parking, but not yurts, cabins, special park facilities, reservation fees or fees for a second driven vehicle.
