An Oregon State Parks annual parking permit is $5 off the regular price for the month of December.

A release from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department said there are three new parking permit designs for 2022. OPRD Director Lisa Sumption said “The new permit designs showcase iconic park views, plants and animals, and the visitors who cherish state parks”.

Passes can be purchased at: https://store.oregonstateparks.org. They are also sold at some state park friends’ stores and selected local businesses through the state. For a complete list of locations, go to: www.stateparks.org

Parking costs $5 a day at 25 Oregon state parks unless you have a 12- or 24-month parking permit, or a same day camping receipt. The 24-month pass is $50 and are also available online. Permits are transferable from vehicle to vehicle.

Oregon State Parks are primarily funded by camping and day-use fees, the Oregon Lottery, and a portion of recreational vehicle registrations.
