Free Oregon RV Camping
Free Oregon RV camping is available on public lands administered by the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) and the USFS (US Forest Service). Our Boondocking and Dispersed Camping page 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 dispersed camping place. In every case we’ve done this, we have been pointed to good RV camping sites.
