Swipe Cards

In 2010, Pittock Conservation Area introduced a controlled access swipe card system at our front gate to ensure a greater level of security and best possible customer service for our campers. Therefore, if your stay at the park includes any evenings from Sunday through Friday, you will be required to pay a $10.00 swipe card deposit to gain access to the park during the non-staffed gatehouse hours (between 12am – 6am through the week). Your deposit will be refunded to you once the card has been returned at the end of your stay.
