Did I understand that some of you have purchased this pass at State Parks and it reduced the fee charged for camping? I have been reading up on the pass this morning and it indicates that it only covers the entry fee? If some of you can tell me about the pass and exactly what to ask for I would appreciate it. Nan

Here's the website for all info on the Passports.
http://www.nps.gov/fees_passes.htm
We have the Golden Age Passport,which is a lifetime admission and discount. The pass is valid at National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Corps of Engineers, Fish and Wildlife Service, Forest Service, and Tennessee Valley Authority sites with admission fees. The Golden Age Passport admits the pass owner and any accompanying passengers in a private vehicle if a park has a per vehicle entrance fee. Where a per person entrance fee is charged, the Golden Age Passport admits the pass owner, spouse, and children. The Golden Age Passport also provides a 50% discount on federal use fees charged for facilities and services such as camping, swimming, parking, boat launching, and specialized interpretive services. In some cases where use fees are charged, only the pass owner will be given the 50% price reduction. The Passport is nontransferable and does NOT cover or reduce special recreation permit fees or fees charged by concessioners.
The other Passports are also covered in that website..
Happy Camping!!

Anyone 62 or over who travels should have a Golden Age Pass. It not only gets you into NPs and NRAs free, and 50% discounts at NP, COE, & NF campgrounds, state parks often also honor them for a discount. They cost a one-time $10.00 and can be purchased at any NP. I'm not old enough for one, but enjoyed my sister-in-law's discount while traveling with her. I recently qualified for SS disability (one of the good outcomes of having cancer, and that is what is allowing me to retire early) so qualify and just got a "Golden Access Pass." That pass gets you the same discounts, but costs nothing! So ladies, if you qualify for either one, check it out.

hmmmmm...I'm too young and too healthy. BUT, I am not complaining. However, it is good information for the time when either or both of those situations change.

My Sister went to get a National Park Pass and they asked her if she wanted the Golden Age Pass. Poor Chris was almost in tears because she was only 45 and didn't think she looked that old. OOPS!!
We get ours in 6 yrs...we are still in our 50's. I am finding out that yes getting older does have a bonus because I'll get discounts in Restaurants, Casinos, Parks etc... :) Seeya down the road, Jenny & Dan FT in 40 ft Alfa Seeya tow/w a Jeep Cherokee www.Sheppardsjourneys.blogspot.com kitties: Biff, Felix & Sasha Mio
