About this resource

This initiative provides complimentary camping and day-use parking at Oregon State Parks, allowing for up to four nights of camping each month at tent sites, RV sites, and standard horse camp sites. However, it does not include yurts, cabins, special park facilities, reservation fees, dump station fees, or charges for additional vehicles. It is necessary for eligible children to be present during the visit.

To apply, individuals should call or check the website for further details. An online application must be completed along with documentation confirming eligibility. Resource parents need to present a valid Oregon foster home approval certificate, while guardians and adoptive foster parents are required to submit a verification letter from ODHS.

There are no associated fees.

Who can use this

  • Eligible participants include foster parents, guardians, and adoptive foster parents certified by ODHS, tribal governments, or the Oregon Youth Authority (OYA), while those certified by private agencies or other jurisdictions do not qualify.

Documents you may need

  • Letter or certificate proving foster parent or guardian status
