The shape of the total
Fuel +28¢/gal vs the national average and state-park camping about $32/night — across a typical trip, fuel, camping, and tax commonly add 40–60% on top of the host-set rental.
The Oregon money fact
One number worth knowing before you go
Coastal state parks free for day-use. Oregon dunes special-use permit ($10/day). Expensive fuel (PNW supply).
Tax, by the statute
What Oregon tax adds at checkout
0%
Effective combined rate (% components)
Oregon has NO state sales tax. Only the 1.5% state transient lodging tax (ORS § 320.305) applies if the rental is classified as accommodation (e.g. parked RV-as-lodging on a host's pad). Mobile vehicle rentals are typically exempt.

State-park day-use runs $5/vehicle. The $80 America-the-Beautiful annual pass covers federal entry across all of them — usually the cheapest move once you'll visit two or more.
