2025 - National & State Park Pass for Senior and Military

Hi everyone,

If you or a passenger is a senior, disabled, and/or a veteran check the state and federal park passes out. Someone may qualify for a yearly or even a life time pass. Federal Lifetime Senior pass is $80, disabled and some military passes are free.

State Park passes have some great benefits and some states can be generous. Just because it wasn't great in the past doesn't mean it's not now, government is in constant flux.

  • Yes, great program! I got mine last year from Joshua Tree and used it later at Zion. And it also admits 1 other person traveling with you!

  • The Senior pass for $80 will allow you into National Parks and gives discounts on camping.  The military pass will allow entry into National Parks but no discounts for camping.

      that seams backwards to me.   a Vetren should get a better savings than some one who just got old.  

      nothing against us old people, but to me some one who signed that blank cheque to their country to give us the quality of life we have, deserves a little more in my opinion.  I see the pass is free for some millitary, but why no discount on camping?

        If you believe something should be improved, file a "Congressional" with your U.S. Congressman and/or Senator.
        Good way of knowing if you have a good representative. Mine has come through 100% (VA, SS, Medicare and more).

  • Already have Retired Military Pass! How do you get that in your account or just tell them that when you make a reservation or show up!
