About Summer Camping in Oregon

Summer camping in Oregon offers an unparalleled outdoor experience across some of the Pacific Northwest's most diverse and spectacular landscapes. From the volcanic peaks of the Cascades to the rugged canyons of the Rogue River, Oregon's summer campgrounds provide access to pristine wilderness, alpine lakes, and rushing rivers during the state's most glorious season.

Best Time

The prime summer camping season in Oregon runs from late June through early September, with July and August offering the most reliable weather and fullest access to high-elevation campgrounds. June can still see lingering snowpack at alpine locations above 5,000 feet, but lower elevation sites along rivers and in the coastal ranges are typically accessible and less crowded.

Season Highlights

  • Warm weather and long days
  • Swimming and water activities
  • Full amenities and services
  • Family-friendly activities

  • 2Hood National Forest and Cascade Lakes region six months in advance through Recreation.gov, as they fill quickly for summer weekends.
  • 3Purchase a Northwest Forest Pass ($30 annual or $5 daily) required for parking at many trailheads and day-use areas.
  • 4Bring layers even in summer—mountain temperatures can drop into the 40s at night, and afternoon thunderstorms are common in the Cascades during July and August.
