Oregon Free Camping

Free RV camping is available throughout Oregon on public lands administered by the BLM (Bureau of Land Management), and the USFS (US Forest Service). Our Boondocking Section has information about finding free RV camping locations.

USFS (US Forest Service) and BLM (Bureau of Land Management) have geographical offices that administer public lands. BLM's are called Field Offices, while USFS calls theirs Ranger Districts. Both BLM and USFS offer fabulous dispersed RV camping locations, but finding them is the tough part. A good way is to ask the folks in the local Field Office or Ranger District to recommend a place for dispersed camping. In every case we've done this, we have been pointed to good RV camping sites.

We recommend the Oregon Road and Recreation Atlas to find RV camping locations. This Oregon atlas features separate landscape (shaded relief) and recreation map sections. The recreation section shows public, state and private lands using different colors to make land administration agency determination easy. Campgrounds, lakes and streams, parks, forests, boat launches, wildlife areas, back roads, and RV parks are just a few of the information areas covered by this Oregon manufactured recreation atlas. Put that together with DeLorme Topo 6.0 Software and you have a versatile set of research tools to find RV camping sites all across Oregon.

Our Free RV Camping Section has ideas about free camping you may not have thought about.
