Oregon’s remote campgrounds got busier in 2020, while popular destinations grew quieter By Jamie Hale, oregonlive.com Share: 2 Photos People gather on the boat dock at Unity Lake State Recreation Area in Eastern Oregon. Photo Gallery Oregon’s most popular campgrounds were a little less full than usual last summer, while some remote state park sites saw a huge surge in campers. That’s according to data released Monday by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, which tracks the number of “camper nights” (each night spent by each camper at a campsite) at all state park campgrounds each year. The numbers from 2020 show a massive decline in camping statewide, falling 34% from more than 2.9 million camper nights in 2019 to just over 1.9 million last year.
