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.
