There is space for camping at DDRI if anyone wants to pitch a tent. We do have one very rustic motorhome available with electric but no water (you'd have to come to the house for water/showers/etc.) and we may have a barn available. Plus there are dog friendly hotels in Oakridge.

Oakridge Hotels/Motels
Tired Dog Ranch 541-782-2775 Two stick built cabins and a huge Yurt on 18 acres of Cascade beauty. Horses, goats, chickens, ducks, a peacock, dogs, and cats abound, including Xander a deaf Dane adopted from us. They also have some camping spaces with limited amenities. Ask for Amy Jo
Best Western Oakridge Inn 541-782-2212 I know they have rooms available for folks with pets. No size restrictions on animals, but there is an doggy deposit.
Oakridge Motel 541-782-2432 When I asked them, they said they prefer dogs to kids. No size restrictions, all they ask is that you bring a dog bed for the dogs to sleep on.
Arbor Inn Motel 541-782-2611 - couldn't get an answer
Cascade Motel 541-782-2489 - couldn't get an answer
 
"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion"
