About

State Park

2021: Open with capacity limit due to COVID-19.

If you enjoy scenic views of deep river canyons or rock climbing, Smith Rock State Park is the place for you. There are several thousand climbs in the park. More than a thousand are bolted routes. We also offer miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. Along your trip through the canyon, you might see golden eagles, prairie falcons, mule deer, river otter and beaver.

Note: Some climbing areas are closed or have limited access from about Jan. 15 to Aug. 1 to protect nesting raptors. Drones are also not allowed during this period. Check the park advisories on this page for exact dates and affected areas.

Due to the uniqueness and fragile aspect of the park, park rangers enforce the animal leash law and ask all park users to stay on trails. Bivouac Camping

Great spot to camp after a day in the park

Right next to the state park just a few minutes down the road. Perfect place to stay if you need a spot to crash after spending the day in the park.

Right next to world class climbing!

Can get a little crowded in peak months, but you can't beat the price, and great amenities

Beautiful

Wonderful low key dispersed type camping in the amazing Smith Rock State Park. $8/night, no reservations but you can always find a spot because you're just pitching your tent wherever there's room. You park in a central area and walk to the camp area. No RV or car camping (you can't park here and sleep in your car). All cooking must be done in the designated area.

There are free showers for campers, flush toilets, host on site, and even a little free library/ book exchange.
