Q1 #ParkChat To me State Parks are about family fun at affordable prices. What are the fees (admission, camping, etc) at your state parks? Are there discounts or free days? Does your state offer an annual pass? BTW admission to @mostateparks is always free.

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @mostateparks A1: None of the state parks in TN that I have been to have an admission fee. #ParkChat Of course, I have not been to them all

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @mostateparks A1. @TPWDparks has an annual pass that I always get because each park charges day fees per person in the car otherwise. Annual pass is $70 and lets pass holder + 3 in to any state park! #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @mostateparks A1 In Montana, we pay for our state parks through license fees, so Montanans get free entry and reduced rates for camping. But those from elsewhere pay for entry and higher camping rates. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @mostateparks A1 We buy a #Texas @TPWDparks pass every year, but I can't remember what it costs. As many times as we go to Caprock Canyons, the pass makes it easy. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @mostateparks A1) In our local state park system, #NewYork, most charge for parking which doubles as entry, we have the "Empire Pass" which for $80 gets you into all the parks and beaches for the calendar year. Otherwise, it's about $7-$10 per park. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @mostateparks A1: admission to @TPWDparks varies but less than $10 per person (not per vehicle) in all I have visited. They do offer an annual pass that gives discounts to camping and Park Store purchases as well as free admission for the whole car. Camping fees depend on amenities #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @mostateparks A1) In California the State Parks entrance fees vary from free to $10+. There is an annual pass which can be quite expensive it you aren't a frequent park user though there's an ADA discount card too that cuts the fees in half. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @mostateparks A1) Based on memory, I think both Wisconsin and Michigan have annual passes around $30 and daytime fees under $10. Not sure about the rest, but I kept my Michigan State Parks book out of the storage unit, so I hope to reconnect with them soon! #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @mostateparks A1 - Most Florida State Parks are between $3 & $8. @WeekiWacheeSpgs & Homosassa Springs are $13 because one has mermaids & the other has a hippo 😁 You can get a yearly pass & they have a passport book you get stamped at each park to keep track of where you’ve been. #ParkChat
