Proposal for Rulemaking, OAR 736-015-0015
The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) proposes changes to the Oregon Administrative Rule guiding reservations for Oregon State Parks.
The experience closing parks and cancelling reservations since March 2020 exposed a need for increased flexibility in reservation rules to enable the agency to more nimbly respond to changing conditions.
The proposed rule change includes implementing a flexible fee range for transaction fees to make, change or cancel a reservation; changing reservation windows to allow for same day reservations through 18 months, with some, but not all sites would be open the entire window and making changes to group camping notification requirements.
