We’ve waited as long as possible to adjust our rates, but after nearly 11 years, the time has come. Beginning Feb. 18, 2025, it will cost a little more for some of our park services.
We’re updating our prices to help offset rising maintenance and operating costs and to align with similar facilities and services in the area. The changes include fees for things like camping, parking, rentals, and permits.
Most of the fee increases are a few dollars. For example, Day Use Parking will increase from $3.00 per day to $5.00 per day and an RV partial hook-up campsite will increase from $29 to $35. Revising the fees will also make things simpler by including up to two pets and one extra vehicle as part of your camping reservation.
The increase helps us keep pace with rising costs while continuing to deliver best-in-nation outdoor and recreation spaces at a good value when compared to similar park systems.
Parks are for everybody. That’s why we have programs to expand access to the outdoors and reduce financial barriers, including veteran, senior and group discounts as well as program scholarships and the free First Time Camping Program.
We promote health and wellness and safe communities through thousands of programs for all ages and abilities, including 158 facilities across more than 58,000 acres of land and 389 miles of trails. In addition, most County park programs and activities are offered at a reduced cost or free of charge.
We thank you for your continued support of our parks!
Book Now! If you reserve or visit before Feb. 18, you will pay the lower fees, even if your reservation will occur after Feb. 18. Reservations can be made up to a year in advance.
