Theodore Roosevelt National Park entrance fees will increase as planned beginning Jan. 1, 2017. This is the second part of the phased increase approved in 2015. During a 2014 open comment period, the park received 29 citizen responses; the majority were in favor of fee increases. Camping prices will not be affected by the increase. The complete fee schedule is attached.
Federal law requires recreational fees charged on public lands be used for direct visitor benefits. Monies collected through the increased entrance fees will continue to fund projects such as the multiyear wayside exhibit project, visitor services and restrooms, and trail rehabilitation.
Park annual passes and entrance fees may be purchased in advance through Your Pass Now at www.yourpassnow.com. Passes purchased electronically may reside on a mobile device or can be printed and presented upon entrance.
Entrance fees are not charged to persons under 16 years of age or to holders of Access or Military Passes. Prices for the Interagency Annual ($80) and Senior ($10) Passes will not change and those passes will still be available for purchase at the park. Through Every Kid in a Park, U.S. students in fourth grade have the opportunity to receive a free annual pass. Information about Every Kid in a Park may be obtained at www.everykidinapark.gov.
