For 2022, just before Memorial Day Weekend on May 27, the one day entry fee for Rocky Mountain National Park goes from $25 to $30. The 7 day entry fee and the annual fee don't increase. In 2023 the camping fee will also increase, from $30 to $35 for the summer season. Timed entry reservations are in place again this season. S O U R C E - 9News Denver

Well when they get rid of the timed entry fee on top of the regular entry fee, then I’ll go back to the NP’s!

Timed entry spreads the crowds out some and reduces their numbers and there are those like dodge guy who won't go at all. Just got back from Arches and there weren't lines for parking spots like there has been in the past.

Yes, but it sucks because they are charging for something we are already paying for!

I always get the annual pass. Sometimes I use it more than others. Support your parks.

In addition to the fee increase and the continuation of timed entry, the shuttles are also coming back. Will also be starting the weekend of May 27th and run into October. Free shuttles, easy to get to Bear Lake area from a variety of starting points.

Yes, just another fee! And where does that money go?

The fact is we haven't been paying otherwise there wouldn't be $12 Billion US in deferred maintenance in the NPS system. (And that number is going to double before we get round to it.)
