Frequently Asked Questions

a

How do I book a reservation or rental?

We’re working on updating our reservation system, but for now, reservations for County facilities (except for campgrounds) are a little hard to navigate. We’re working on it! The “bookable” list below should be helpful.

a

What type of facilities does the County have?

You can rent or reserve three different types of sites through the County:

  • Picnic shelters in parks
  • Enclosed shelters in parks
  • Campgrounds

a

When can I rent or reserve a space?

Most of our reservations (non-enclosed spaces) come available on January 1 of the calendar year for bookings from May 1 through October 1 of that calendar year.

Planning Ahead

We advise that you make your reservation at least 30 days before your gathering, but the earlier you cal, the better. This includes campgrounds and picnic shelters.

a

When do I need to request a special use permit?

Special use permits are required for events that are outside of standard space uses. Often, that includes use of sound amplification, serving beer or wine, or use of facilities outside of park hours (dawn to dusk). Not sure? Call us at (541) 766-6521

Make a Reservation

We’re working to modernize our process for rentals and reservations, but for now, the Benton County Natural Areas, Parks and Events department takes reservations over the phone — unless you’re reserving a camp site. Give us a call, and we’ll take it from there!
