Important notices

Campfires? Current fire information for the Northwest Oregon District closures and restrictions can be found at BLM Fire Closures and Restrictions under the district specific section. Normally, campfires are limited to the steel fire rings or BBQ grills provided within the recreation site. At high to extreme fire danger levels, campfires are most likely prohibited, check above link. No building rock campfire rings.
All campsites are available for advanced reservations up to 2 days in advance of your stay. Although the legend shows FF (first come-first served) we call it walk-up camping. You may camp in a site that shows FF as a walk-up user on a nightly basis until the next reservation holder arrives to the site. On the day of the reservation holder's arrival you must vacate the site by 11:00 am.
A fee of $5 for extra vehicles will be collected at the facility through the on site fee station. Cash or check made payable to BLM is accepted. Place fee in the yellow fee envelope. Keep the receipt tab to display on your vehicle dash or campsite post.
All equipment must fit on the site pad. Vehicles park in developed areas only.
