Different states offer different discounts - it always pays to ask. For example: Oregon gives ten days free camping PER MONTH if you are a disabled veteran ... other discounts for active duty ... go to Oregon site to see.
Texas offers disabled vets a pass that discounts the day use fee. IF I remember right, Pennsylvania accepts the Federal pass for a camping discount, and maybe Maryland (not sure there, but I seem to recall it) and some others do as well.
Many states offer a annual pass or monthly pass for day use or camping - each one different ... so it always pays to look ahead and ask the states where you're heading because it sometimes takes "proof" and if you don't bring it - you lose the discount. Some states require state residents, and no 'travelers'... South Dakota for one, that allows state resident veterans a discount.
