Question on Best Overall "Pass" for OR - West Coast

Greetings --

Sorry if this is wrong place to post this - but I'm looking for the best "pass" to buy for camping along Oregon coast /forest lands (BLM - NFS - OR State Parks, etc.). Which is best for "multiple" campgrounds among state and Federal agencies -- versus having to buy multiple passes ?

Specifically posting for input from Oregon residents who may have the "best" knowledge base ? Thanks all --

We have a lifetime federal pass - covers every kind of national area. It's nice to have.
I'm not aware of a similar one that covers multiple state agencies. Each state seems to want to sell and manage their own.

Russ, We went through this recently so still have the contact info: Uncovered these three sites to offer the best info & all have pretty much the same information, but each offers something that wasn't in the other (or not as well explained) - provides links to purchase the 'pass' also:

Can you share what you have specifically? I was not aware of a lifetime federal unless you are retired.

You're right - looks like the lifetime option is only available as a Senior Pass. That's what we have.

I'm over 62, but I'm not retired yet! I've got to fix that one of these days..

I forgot to mention I already had a lifetime "Senior Pass" - bought when I turned 62 - just wasn't sure if it was good for all of the state campgrounds and state forests throughout Oregon - Washington State, etc. Too many un-answered questions regarding state campgrounds - forests, etc ?

State Parks are all handled individually (Not part of the National system) - This lists all the State park passes:

Oregon can be a little confusing, even for folks who have lived here for quite some time. I still struggle with which pass/s I should get each year. I usually always get the Northwest Forest Pass. https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/r6/pa...fsbdev2_027010


Doesn't do much for camping but its good for parking at a lot of hikes and sites you may want to see.
