Clackamas County parks close at night: entrance gates are locked from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., quiet hours run 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., and no one under 18 may camp overnight unless accompanied by an adult. County Code Title 6, Chapter 6.06 governs parks, forests and recreation.
Clackamas County Code Title 6, Chapter 6.06 establishes the county's authority over its parks, forests and recreation areas, with daily opening and closing times set by the Parks Manager and posted at each park entrance. In practice park entrance gates are locked from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m. daily, making overnight presence outside camping unlawful. Posted park rules require campers to observe quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., allow fires only in designated receptacles, and prohibit anyone under 18 from camping overnight unless accompanied by an adult. The Mt. Hood corridor and Government Camp area also fall under county park and federal forest rules. Camping is only allowed in designated campgrounds and campsites.
Remaining in a park after posted closing hours or violating Chapter 6.06 park rules can result in citation and removal by county park rangers or the Sheriff.
