RESERVATION ADVICE:       Reservations are not needed for most of our campgrounds except for Group campgrounds. For most group campgrounds you should make your reservations early if you prefer a popular date. For most regular campgrounds in Oregon, however, we don't even take reservations, nor do we take reservations for campgrounds (except group campgrounds) before Memorial Day Weekend or after the second weekend in September. In Washington only about 60% of the campsites in each campground are reserveable. This is the same in Oregon where campgrounds take reservations.      All reservations for federal campgrounds or National Parks must be made through their new website recreation.gov. Their phone is 1-877-444-6777 or click on their logo at the bottom of this page.      For reservations at Patio RV Park, Black Butte RV and Motel Resort, Dexter Shores RV Park, or at Hoodoo Ski Area, it is best to either email or call the individual parks, but for help you can also either email us or call 541-822-3799.      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. The best way to reserve a site from recreation.gov is to go to our website and click on the campground where you would like to stay. From that page you can click into the recreation.gov site by either clicking on their logo "Reserve Your Place Under the Stars" or by clicking on the specific site lower down on the page. Then click on the box "Date Range Availability" found near the top of their website page. It is best to copy the page showing your reservation to show the host when you check in.      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.       It is best when making a reservation, to get your basic information from our Hoodoo website before you make your reservation through reservation.gov.      To contact Hoodoo for help call either 541-822-3799 or 541-338-7869. A possible number in Washington may also be 360-691-1841. 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.

If you call the reservation service they may tell you that the campground is full for that day. This only means that the RESERVATION 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) It is also best to have reservations for our group organization campgrounds. Otherwise 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 Weekend, July 4 weekend, and Labor Day Weekend campgrounds will start filling up everywhere. This will be a good time to make reservations or arrive early if possible.  Of course the first come first serve sites are available, but you should get there early.  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 supposed to be there the first night and fees must always be paid.

    If you are using a Golden Age or Access Card to make a reservation, there are some points to keep in mind. The cards may only be used to reserve one campsite during a period of time for the person who owns the card. 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.

To make a reservation at a specific campground, the easiest way is to go to the specific reservable campground that you are interested in. On that page you will find the reservation sites listed in red. From the information there you might pick your desired site. Then click on the NRRS logo at the bottom of that page or the one on the front page, or the bottom of this page.   The dates of opening and closing below are those dates during which reservations are taken. Normally we are open longer than this without reservations.  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 reservation system does not collect the extra vehicle fee.

If you later 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 site within that campground to which you would like to move, that is not reserved, 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 will have to call the NRRS number above or below 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.

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.  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. In general all individual campsites are reservable starting the weekend of Memorial Day through the weekend after Labor Day even though they might be open longer. Group campgrounds are reservable from opening day at the campground to the night before the closing date.
