Oregon

Most of Hampton’s forestlands in Oregon are open to the public for non-motorized access, except during periods of high fire danger. On June 8, 2026, Hampton began requiring a free recreational permit for access to designated forestlands in Oregon and southwest Washington. The permit system helps provide up-to-date information about conditions, closures, and safety considerations.  These lands can be used for wildlife viewing, hiking, biking, hunting, fishing, and foraging, consistent with permit rules and seasonal restrictions. Permits in Oregon will be made available through an online platform administered by My Outdoor Agent and issued upon application. In Oregon, we have two permits that cover the following counties:

Big Creek Permit: Clatsop County

Salem Permit – Benton, Columbia, Lincoln, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Tillamook, Washington & Yamhill Counties

Our North Cascades forestland, located in Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish Counties, is accessible with a fee access recreational permit. The permit area includes ~79,000 acres and is limited to 600 motorized permits and 150 non-motorized permits.
