Oregon Parks and Recreation seeks public comment for camping rate range increases
The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department is considering rate range increases for camping and facility fees for the public and is seeking comment on the proposed changes.
The rate increases are necessary due to increased utility costs, operations, maintenance needs and inflation, OPRD said in a news release. The rate range increases would not increase fees automatically. The range gives flexibility to adjust the fees within the range over time and avoids large increases all at once, OPRD said.
Examples for the proposed rate range changes include:
A full hook-up campsite with a current rate of $33 and rate range of $26 to $40 would see a proposed rate range increase of $33 to $52 for Oregonians and a range of $41.25 to $65 for out-of-state visitors.
A rustic cabin with a current rate of $52 and a rate range of $42 to $62 would see a proposed rate range increase of $52 to $81 for Oregonians and a range of $65 to $101.25 for out-of-state visitors.
An RV with a current rate of $120 and range of $100 to $120 would see a proposed rate range increase of $120 to $200 for Oregonians and $150 to $250 for out-of-state visitors.

Oregon’s economic growth hindered by high taxes and permitting delays, survey finds
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A recent statewide survey of business owners and local leaders shows what may be hindering Oregon’s economic growth.
Governor Tina Kotek’s Prosperity Council shared the results earlier this week, which includes input from more than 1,000 respondents in 35 of the state’s 36 counties.
The 16-member council was formed in January to advise the governor on her Prosperity Roadmap, which is an effort to bring more economic opportunities to Oregon.
The survey focused on business climate, tools and growth, and workforce and will be used to help determine what policy recommendations the council offers in June.
Overall, the respondents showed frustration in permitting delays and concerns about the lack of development-ready land and infrastructure.
There were also calls to overhaul the state’s Corporate Activity Tax, which was enacted in 2019 and is based on a business’s commercial activity. It applies to businesses with more than $1 million in commercial activity within the state.
One respondent wrote that Oregon’s reputation as a place that’s hostile to mid- and large-sized businesses is somewhat deserved. Numerous participants expressed concern over the lack of quality public education in the state.
Workforce development was another common issue. Survey respondents called for expanding Career and Technical Education programs so they can better meet industry needs. There were also calls to address structural barriers, such as lack of housing, childcare and transportation.
