Bureau of Land Management opening campgrounds for 2026 recreation season
A dog relaxes at a BLM campground in Central Oregon.
As temperatures rise, the staff
members at the Bureau of Land
Management are excited to
welcome visitors to public lands
across Oregon and Washington
for the 2026 recreation season.
While many sites are moving to full-service operations,
the BLM urges people to plan,
practice "Know Before You
Go" for safety, and strictly adhere to upcoming seasonal fire
restrictions. Jim Regan-Vienop
is the Klamath Falls acting
field manager.
“Each year, we look forward
to welcoming visitors back,”
Regan-Vienop said. “Public
lands offer everyone a chance to
unwind, explore and appreciate
the landscapes we all share.”
BLM recreation areas offer
a broad selection of activities,
including camping, fishing,
hiking, mountain biking, offhighway vehicle recreation and
boating across a wide variety
of landscapes. Most seasonal
campgrounds across Oregon
and Washington open by midMay, though specific dates vary
based on local conditions and
elevation. The BLM encourages visitors to follow Leave
No Trace principles to preserve
shared spaces for future generations. Safe recreation begins
with careful and thoughtful
planning. Campers are encouraged to always share their itinerary with someone at home and
be prepared to "Pack It In, Pack
It Out" if facilities have limited
trash service early in the season.
For those drawn to the region's rivers, water safety is
paramount, always wear a Coast
Guard-approved life jacket and
check local water conditions
before launching. Public safety
depends on responsible fire
practices. Before heading out,
visitors are urged to verify if
campfires are permitted at their
specific destination, as highdanger periods often restrict
fires to designated steel rings in
improved campgrounds only or
restrict open flames completely.
The BLM reminds everyone to
never leave a fire unattended
and to use the "Drown, Stir
and Feel" method to ensure
coals are cold to the touch
before departing.
For the most up-to-date information on specific site availability and local fire danger
levels, please visit the BLM
Oregon/Washington webpage or contact your local
district office.
