The National Forests in Oregon and Washington that require day use fees are listed below under "Locations Requiring a Pass". Check your destination forest to see if a recreation pass is required at the location you plan to visit.

Recreation passes do not cover fees for winter sno-parks, cabin rentals, or climbing and wilderness permits. They also do not cover developed campgrounds, but Interagency Senior Pass and Interagency Access Pass holders may receive a 50% discount for camping fees.

Though many concessionaires do honor recreation passes, other may not. Concessionaire sites that honor at least one of the passes available in the Pacific Northwest Region are listed under "Locations Requiring a Pass."
