Oregon state campgrounds
Does anyone know the minimum and maximum lead time for making reservations with Oregon state campgrounds? Is it within 30 days only or as far out as 6 months? Thanks, Larry

Right now, it's 30 days:
New reservations are accepted one day to 30 days in advance for stays that begin within this time period. This change, from the former nine-month reservation window, is in response to covid-19. The shorter window means that when services change abruptly — as with a pandemic or massive wildfires — we do not need to change, cancel or refund a large number of reservations. Not only are reservation changes a huge inconvenience to visitors, they can be complicated and time consuming. Also, refunds are a big financial hit at the worst possible time: when we are trying to restore operations safely with far fewer staff. A 30-day window offsets some of the uncertainty, and enables us to better predict revenue and expenses.
We do plan to return to a longer window at some point, and we will make a public announcement when we do.
