Texas State Park fees

[greg121]

If I stay overnight in a Texas State Park without an annual pass what is the charge above the camping charge for the site. Would I have to pay the per person daily fee twice (arrival day, departure day)? Or just once?

Yea once you break down the price it really does make sense to get it

Glad i could help!

The rate is between 3$ and 7$ per day depending on the park(like said above, the busier the park, the more it costs) on top of the 20-26$ price of the campsite per night

The state park pass is 75$

Based on the 7$ daily admission into the parks my wife and I usually goto, the park pass pays itself off in 3 two day/weekend trips. As well as waived entrance fees, the park pass also comes with 6 coupons for the 2nd night half off(for the campsite) to save you even more money

There's a little food for thought in case you ever plan on going back to one of texas' great parks 🙂

Thanks for the advice- my wife and I heading to Texas this fall, and I was on the fence for purchasing one. I will buy for sure now.

If you are disabled vet, you get a lifetime pass for free entrance/day fees.

You do not have to be a Texas resident, like some states require.

If over 65 or disabled you can get a parklands pass and entrance fees are half.

If born before 1930, or disabled vet, its free entrance.

The cost is based on park usage. The higher usage parks is more than the lower usage parks

Yes, you have to pay the daily use fee, per person. It will vary per park, as does the camping fee. If you stay one overnight, you pay for one day, three overnights, three days.
