Early Birds Get The Best Deals On Wyoming Park Passes

Hands down, one of the best things I purchase every year is the Wyoming State Parks Annual Day Pass. When you buy the pass, you don't have to stop at the kiosk or the fee stations at the park entrance. You just roll right through and start your adventures. Plus, if you're going to visit any of the parks more than a couple of times, it saves you money.

Support Conservation: Your Fees Matter

When you purchase the passes or your daily fees, you're giving back to Wyoming.

100% of revenue collected from visitor fees goes directly back into Wyoming State Parks to fund new construction, improvements, and maintenance. Thank you for supporting your parks!

If you buy your annual pass now, you'll save money and have a chance to win a YETI cooler. A summer of fun and a new YETI for just $42 for residents and $89 for non-residents seems like a no-brainer decision to me. After February 15, the price goes to $48 for residents and $96 for non-residents. (You can also add a vehicle for $24 resident and $48 non-residents)

Remember, that is for the annual day pass and doesn't cover your camping fees. The annual camping pass is also available, and if you're planning to camp a lot this summer and want to save money, look into getting that pass too.

If you already know when you'll be camping this year, the 2026 Booking Calendar.xlsx is available to help you reserve your spot. Remember, if you're a Wyoming resident, you can book your spots 120 days (113 for non-residents) before your camping date. You can check out the reservations page at wyoparks.wyo.gov get the process started.

If you book your dates and can't show up, make sure to cancel your reservation before your arrival date. There's a new cancellation policy to free up camping spaces and hopefully prevent no-shows.

In order to receive a refund*, cancellations must be made two days before arrival (by midnight). Cancellations made after that deadline are not refunded. Refunds are not given for reservation fees, change fees, or transaction fees. No refunds for early departures.
