HB 3462 Oregon House · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to camping on public property.

HB 3462 bans camping on most public property in Oregon, including parks, highways, sidewalks, and public buildings, unless the area is designated as a camping site. The law specifically excludes school lands and state forests from the ban. Violating this prohibition is a Class E offense punishable by a maximum $100 fine. The bill directly affects individuals camping in public spaces like parks, sidewalks, and highway rights-of-way, while allowing camping on school lands and state forests as defined by existing law.
