Resrvation Advice

RESERVATION FAQ's:

  • Do I need a Reservation?   Reservations are not needed for most of our campgrounds except for Group campgrounds, only about 60% of the campsites in each campground are reserveable.  For most campgrounds you should make your reservations early if you prefer a popular date. There are no reservations before Memorial Day Weekend or after the second weekend in September.
  • How do I make Reservations?   To make a reservation at a specific campground, the easiest way is to use the menu bar on the left to find the specific reservable campground that you are interested in. On those pages you will find the reservable sites listed in red. From the information provided decide which campground is right for you, then click on the NRRS logo, the site number or call 1-877-444-6777  All reservations for federal campgrounds or National Parks must be made through their new website www.recreation.gov or at 1-877-444-6777
  • What about the R.V. Parks?   It is best to either email or call the individual parks for reservations at Patio RV Park (541-822-3596), Black Butte RV and Motel Resort (541-595-6514), Dexter Shores RV Park (541-937-3711), Crescent Junction R.V. Park (541-433-5300), for more help feel free to either email us or call 541-822-3799.
  • Can I make last minute Reservations?   USFS reservations must be made at least seven days in advance in Oregon and with three to four days in advance in Washington. Reservations for Hoodoo or the private Hoodoo RV parks may be made 48 hours in advance through Hoodoo or at the last minute by calling the parks directly.
  • Is there a fee?   The Reservation fee for USFS campgrounds cost about $10. The money goes to the reservation system, not to Hoodoo. This is a one time fee for the designated site and only is paid once for the length of the reservation.  Group sites have only one reservation fee for the length of the reservation even if they include several sites that are designated to be a group. There is no reservation fee for Hoodoo, Patio, Dexter Shores, or Black Butte.
  • What is the "Extra Vehicle Fee"?    For individual campsites any vehicles other than the first vehicle must pay an extra vehicle fee at the campground. The fee is one half the camp fee per night. The fee is collected at the campground.
  • Can I cancel/change my reservations?   If you decide to change the reservation site through the NRRS you will be charged $10 by the NRRS. However, if you come to the campground and find another non-reserved site within that campground to which you would like to move, you may with permission from a Hoodoo employee move your fees to the other site without paying an additional reservation fee. Your fee can not be transferred to another Hoodoo campground, sorry. We do not see any of your reservation fees and have no control over your reservation unless you actually camp at the campground. If you have a problem with the reservation, you may find that Hoodoo might not have any information. You should call the NRRS number above to solve reservation problems. If you decide to cancel your reservations a week before your reserved date, you may do so with full return of campground fees (the money that would have gone to Hoodoo), but your reservation fee (the amount that went to the NRRS) will be kept by them.   
  • I am confused, recreation.gov says_____ but hoodoo.com says_____.   Hoodoo.com is the most up to date so it is best when making a reservation, to get your basic information from the Hoodoo website before you make your reservation through recreation.govAlso feel free to contact Hoodoo for help by calling either 541-822-3799 or 541-338-7869.  We can't help you make or change reservations, but we might be able to help give you advice when you are having a problem, we will try anyway :).
  • Recreation.gov told me _____ is full, am I out of luck?   The reservation service may tell you that the campground is full for that day but this only means that the RESERVABLE SITES are full. They will NEVER know if the whole campground is full unless it is a group site. (See our Availability Page for updated information) Most campgrounds, if they offer reservations, still have 40% or more sites left for those who choose not to make reservations. In addition most campgrounds have other campgrounds nearby where sites may be empty. Study our area maps carefully and check for second choices. During the Memorial Day weekend, July 4 weekend, and Labor Day weekend campgrounds will start filling up everywhere. These are good times to make reservations or arrive early if possible.  If you do come early remember to set up your tent site and pay your fee otherwise it will be assumed that the site is vacant. You are required to be there the first night and fees must always be paid.
  • Can I use my Golden Age/Access Card?   Yes, but there are some points to keep in mind. The cards may only be used to reserve one campsite at a time.  It is possible that the reservation system may allow you to make multiple reservations if they don't catch it, but the host at the campground will check your card and you must have it with you when you check in. If you have reserved more than one campsite during the same period of time with the card, or if the card holder is not present, the campers will be asked to pay the full fees. Also if you have used the card to reserve a site that card may not be used with an extra vehicle as well.

Below are the prices for individual reservations. The prices are for the site with one vehicle. Most non group sites have an extra vehicle fee equal to half of the reservation fee.  Click on the campground names to go to the individual campground page for further information. Group prices are also available. See the group page for the names of campgrounds that have group sites.  The dates below are those dates during which reservations are taken. Normally we are open longer than this without reservations. Group campgrounds are reservable from opening day at the campground to the night before the closing date.
