Got my Geezer Pass at the Beaver Meadows entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. I've used it at USFS campgrounds in the area, getting half price on the site (but still full price on electric - $6). And just last night I made reservations for next weekend for Glacier Basin CG inside RMNP -- $20 for 2 nights! Now THAT is a savings, particularly considering what the commercial CG/RV parks in Estes Park charge.
I did find out, however, that there are some National Parks where there are limits on the card. For example, at Wind Cave NP and Jewel Cave NM in South Dakota, admission is free to all to get into the park, but the tours of the respective caves have a tour fee. The Senior Pass gets the holder a half price discount, but any other members of your party must pay the full tour price, depending on the tour selected.
Still, it's one of the best values available to us oldsters!
