Columbia County Parks Switching To New Online Reservation System On Wednesday - 05/12/26

ST. HELENS, Ore., May 12, 2026 — Columbia County Parks will begin switching to a new online reservation system, Firefly, on Wednesday to provide campers and park visitors with an easier way to book campsites online.

As part of the transition, online camping reservations will be unavailable for approximately three days while the new system is set up. Parks staff are working closely with both providers to help ensure a smooth transition and reduce disruptions for visitors.

The new Firefly system is designed to make it easier for visitors to search for campsites, make reservations, and manage their stays online.
“We know online reservations are an important part of planning camping trips, and we appreciate everyone’s patience while we make this change,” said Riley Baker, General Services Director. “Our goal is to make the process simpler and easier to use moving forward.”

Visitors with immediate reservation needs are encouraged to complete their reservations before Wednesday.

Columbia County Parks will continue sharing updates and information through its website and social media channels during the transition.
