Oregon State Parks to charge fees at 21 more state parks to address budget shortfall

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department is implementing new fees at some of its day-use parks and raising fees for some of its busiest overnight camping parks. The state waives day-use parking fees at more than 225 of its state parks, with only 25 parks charging the $10 fee for in-state visitors and $12 for people visiting from out of state. To save on parking, Oregon State Parks offers a 12-month parking permit for $30 and a 24-month permit for $50. The parks include:Alfred A.
