Have a Day Use pass? Potential price hike coming to Oregon State Park permits
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Oregon State Park visitors may soon see a jump in parking pass prices, but not without having a say about it.
A proposal from Oregon Parks and Recreation, if approved, will increase the cost of a parking permit for the first time since 2019 – upping the cost of a single day permit from $5 to a range of $7-15.

Meanwhile, the cost of a 12-month permit would jump from $30 to $40-60 and a 24-month permit would increase from $50 to $60-80.
“Proposed rules will create rate ranges for day use parking permits, similar to campsite and other facilities in state parks,” P&R officials said.
