Natural Bridges National Monument Proposes Entrance and Camping Fee Increases
Natural Bridges National Monument » Natural Bridges National Monument Proposes Entrance and Camping Fee Increases » Document List
The National Park Service is seeking public comment on several changes to entrance and campground fees under consideration for Natural Bridges National Monument in 2018.
We propose to increase park entrance fees at Natural Bridges National Monument on January 1, 2018, to comply with the 2014 National Park Service standard pricing model for Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA) fees, as shown below. The increased revenue will be used to fund deferred maintenance and other visitor service projects.
Proposed Entrance Fees:
$7 Individual (walk up or bicycle)
$10 per motorcycle
$15 private vehicle
$50 Southeast Utah National Parks Annual Pass
Current Entrance Fees:
$5 Individual (walk up or bicycle)
$5 per motorcycle
$10 private vehicle
$50 Southeast Utah National Parks Annual Pass
All entrance passes are valid for up to seven days at the park where they were purchased. The Southeast Utah Parks Pass ($50.00) is valid for one year through the month of purchase and admits one (1) private, non-commercial vehicle or its pass holder to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, and Hovenweep and Natural Bridges National Monuments
Entrance Fees are not charged to persons under 16 years of age or to holders of the America the Beautiful National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Senior, Access or Military Passes.
Beginning March 1, 2018, we are proposing to increase camping fees at Natural Bridges National Monument from March 1 to October 31 each year.
Current Camping Fees
March 1 - October 31 $10.00
November 1 - February 28 $10.00
Proposed Camping Fees
March 1 - October 31 $15.00
November 1 - February 28 $10.00
Camping fees have remained at $10 since at least 1998. Costs, including supplies and labor, have risen. Comparability rate studies are underway to ensure that park campground rates do not undercut business at private campgrounds in nearby communities. Increased camping fees will provide additional revenue to fund campground operations and deferred maintenance projects.
Recent projects completed with FLREA funds at Natural Bridges include rehabilitation of the Owachomo and Sipapu trails, installation of new benches at overlooks and the visitor center, painting of the visitor center, and replacement of the carpet in the visitor center. Most projects were completed by employees hired from local communities.
