National Parks Are Fee-Free on Veteran’s Day Weekend

Gather the family and head your RV for the nearest U.S. national park this weekend. Veteran’s Day weekend, November 11-13, is the final fee-free day of the year at America’s 396 national parks. Every year the National Park System sponsors five fee-free days to encourage Americans to get outdoors and enjoy America’s scenic beauty while exploring our many national parks.

While many national parks do not charge an entrance fee, more than 100 of our most popular parks do collect a daily entrance fee to help defray the costs of maintaining park lands. This weekend, however, RV travelers can visit national parks, monuments, battlefields, seashores, historic sites, recreation areas and memorials from California to Maine fee-free. (Click here for a list of participating parks.)

RV campers should note that the national park fee waiver applies only to entrance fees. Reservation, camping, tour and concession fees that are collected by third parties are not included; although many are offering special discounts and fee reductions this weekend.

The park system’s fee-free days are an excellent opportunity to slip away in your RV for a long-weekend getaway. RV campsites at most national parks tend to fill quickly, but RV campers will find plenty of excellent RV campgrounds near every popular national park site. Use RVT.com’s handy RV campground locator to find a campground near your destination.
