I got one at the Wright Memorial this summer. was cheaper to buy than to pay to get in. Thing is. That is the first NP in my life that I have ever been charged to get into.

They do charge for camping on the BRP. But the pass as far as I know. Doesn't cover camping fees, or does it?

Most of the time you will get a 50 percent discount on camping fees.

Thanks.

If $80 for a lifetime pass is really too much, there is a senior annual pass available for $10/year

I know the park service needs the money but going from $10 to $80 is a big, jump and tough for seniors on a budget.

Geez, its really not!!!
This is a one time cost; not an annual cost, i.e. a life time pass.

Yes, it really is, a 700% increase at one time, in anything is a big jump, BUT, you're right, it is still a good deal.

Pretty sure the annual senior pass will be $20 and after four consecutive years it can be traded for a lifetime pass.

There are still a bit over two hours left to buy online for those eligible. The online site says delivery could be three months but your receipt works until then.

Its all here as to their explanation. I got mine a few years back and haven't actually used it yet.
