Stewart State Recreation Area, L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park, Prineville Reservoir State Park, South Beach State Park. Chris Havel, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) associate director, says the discount is intended as a pilot program to see if price can encourage campers to explore different parks during the shoulder season. “The fall is a great time to enjoy the changing season, and there’s nothing like a cozy campfire on a brisk fall morning,” Havel said. “We challenge Oregonians to discover their new favorite camping season.” Additional details: The discount applies to online advanced reservations only and will not apply to reservations made by phone or to walk-in campers, nor can OPRD apply it to existing reservations. The discount is only for new reservations made on or after Sep. 9, 2019. Reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance. The discount is for recreational vehicle campsites only.
