State Parks just opened up a month ago and are only taking reservations 30 days in advance. Good news is that they aren't filled up months in advance like they usually are. Less good is that I can't make September reservations for another couple of weeks.
Actually IIRC you can only reserve out twp weeks in advance.
Not very easy to plan a vacation. If this last week was any indication, Oregon St parks are packed to the gills. Just spent time at Nehalem Bay and Fort Stevens. Both packed to the max. I know it's summer and all but usually you can get a spot on the fly.
And yes they're filled up months in advance. Any pre Covid reservation was honored after the reopening. I think Sept will be packed as well.
Well GoDucks10, is pretty spot on, Existing reservations were only canceled for the original planed closure. Then they if a park wasn't opening they were canceled as long as the park was going to be closed. Existing reservation made before the middle of March are being honored, so nine months out from then there are reservations.
Most if not all parks on the coast are only taking reserved campers.
The last I heard is that you can make reservations 30 days out currently, which means about the 2nd of August you can start reserving for September.
The parks that are open are running at or close to capacity. One plus you may find is that September was a month that we saw a lot of Canadians. Last I heard is that the border is still closed, so if they had earlier reservations they likely canceled those reservations. The coast is beautiful in September.
