Camping in Oregon during the August 2017 eclipse

Camping in Oregon during the August 2017 eclipse - Brown Wooden Armchair on Brown Sand Near Body of Water

I'm planning a family trip to Oregon for the 21 August Eclipse this year. I'd like to head inland where the weather is likely to be better (e.g. around Madras): naturally, most if not all of the campsites which take reservations are booked out by now, so what are the options?

Are there walk-up campsites with a chance to find a spot?

What are the opportunities for wild/"dispersed" camping in Oregon? Do I need a permit, and is it generally possible to take a car within (short) walking distance of the kinds of places that such camping is tolerated?
