Corps Issues Reminder For Primitive Camping Rules

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Portland District is reminding campers of some recent closures and changes to primitive camping near The Dalles Dam that went into effect in November.  Primitive camping is being permitted at Avery Park, Celilo Park, and Rufus Landing until October 31, with camping limited to seven days within a 30-consecutive day period.  There is no public use at Avery Park during commercial treaty fishing season, and tent camping at Celilo Park is on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings only.  The Corps implemented changes – in part – because of illegal dumping, resource destruction and vandalism at the sites.
