Oregon parks officials are trying to close an $8 million budget shortfall by changing visitation fees and cancellation policies.

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department has proposed rule changes that could result in higher fees at some sites, depending on the day and time of year.

In addition to this dynamic pricing model , the department is considering changing its cancellation policies to restrict refunds.

Visitors are currently allowed to cancel within three days of their reservation to get a full refund. If these changes go through, visitors won’t get refunds for same-day cancellations, nor will they get refunds if they don’t show up.

The rule changes also propose limiting special passes for veterans and foster families to people who live exclusively in Oregon.
