Guidelines for a safe visit to the Siuslaw National Forest

The Siuslaw’s campgrounds, day use areas, and trails continue to be open for public enjoyment . While you are visiting the Forest, please adhere to the following guidelines. These guidelines will help ensure a safe and healthy visit for you and your family, our employees and volunteers, and other visitors:

Please keep in mind that restrooms are generally cleaned and disinfected at least once daily at the more popular campgrounds and day use sites, and once to three times a week at other sites.

Be prepared to provide your own soap, sanitizer, or disinfectant.

If no trash receptacle is provided, please protect your public lands by packing out your waste and trash.

There is a 14-day in 30 rolling days camping limit on the Siuslaw National Forest. The 14 days does not have to be consecutive. The 14-day limit covers the entire Siuslaw National Forest and not just this campground as shown in the Rules Section . This means you cannot go to other campgrounds on the Siuslaw National Forest after reaching the 14-day limit.
