During the winter we do keep Terwilliger Hot Springs open as long as the road to the springs is accessible. Cougar Crossing near the springs is now open year around as well. In addition we have RV hookup campgrounds available at Patio RV, Black Butte RV, Dexter Shores RV, and at Hoodoo Ski Area.  USFS campground fees include a County Room Tax and a state Tourism Tax that are normally add-ons in other overnight areas. Room Taxes go toward supporting county and state costs. Other expenses that are covered by fees include, maintenance, cleaning, garbage pickup, septic pumping, insurance, payroll, property tax, and administrative costs. In many previous years, overall the expenses per campground exceeded the fee charged. Asset improvement is sometimes paid through federal taxes and allocations to the USFS. However, all operating costs are paid by your fees or contributions by Hoodoo.. Your income taxes DO NOT pay for campground upkeep.
