Tillamook County Parks Department

Why are you charging a fee?

The Tillamook County Parks Department’s budget is designated a Special Revenue Fund. This means that the Parks Department is removed from the county General Fund and RECEIVES NO FUNDING FROM THE COUNTY. Since FY 2009/2010, the Tillamook County Parks Department has been self-supporting and has relied on the revenue it generates for its operations.

What do you do with the funds that are collected?

The fees that are collected at day use areas and boat launches help fund those facilities. Fees may be used to pay for restrooms and restroom maintenance, chemical toilet rental, garbage collection and pickup, vault toilet pumping, utilities (water, electric and sewer), parking lot striping, asphalt patching, gravel parking lot replacement, chemical applications, landscape maintenance, storm damage cleanup and repairs, launch and ramp maintenance and signage.

How much is the fee?

You may pay a daily rate of $10.00 or an annual rate of $55.00.

Do you offer reduced rates or discounts?

We offer a $45.00 discounted rate on our Annual Day Use Access Pass for seniors over the age of 65, disabled veterans, and Trail card holders.

Where can I purchase a day use access pass?

Daily Day Use Access Passes are available at Tillamook County Parks and Pacific City Parking Management facilities. To purchase an Annual Day Use Access Pass, please visit Barview Jetty County Campground in Rockaway beach or call (503) 322-3522 to purchase one over the phone.
