Tips & Recommendations

  • 1Reserve popular campgrounds like Natural Bridge and Olallie Lake Guard Station well in advance through Recreation.gov, as spring's limited operating season creates high demand for accessible sites.
  • 2Check current road conditions and snow levels before departing, especially for high-elevation Cascade campgrounds where access roads may not open until late May—call ranger districts for real-time updates.
  • 3Pack layered clothing including waterproof shells, as spring weather in Oregon can shift from sunny mornings to afternoon rain showers, with nighttime temperatures dropping into the 30s at higher elevations.
  • 4Bring a quality four-season sleeping bag rated to at least 20°F for comfortable alpine camping.
