Residents can celebrate State Parks Day with free parking and free RV and tent site camping at all Oregon Parks on June 3rd.

An Oregon Parks and Recreation release said day-use parking fees at the 25 locations that charge them will be waived both June 3rd and 4th. OPRD will also waive camping fees for all tent, RV and horse campsites June 3rd.

State Parks Day has been a tradition since 1998 as a way to thank Oregonians for their support of the state park system over many decades. OPRD Director Lisa Sumption said, “Oregon has one of the best state parks systems in the country, and it’s because you have invested in parks, cared for them and preserved them for everyone to enjoy. Thank you”.

Several free special events and service projects are planned for June 3rd.
