Canyonlands National Park Proposes Fee Increases

Canyonlands National Park » Canyonlands National Park Proposes Fee Increases » Document List

The National Park Service is seeking public comment on a proposal to raise entrance and campground fees at Canyonlands National Park. This fee increase proposal is part of a larger National Park Service (NPS) initiative to standardize fees for park units offering similar visitor services and experiences. Fees at the park have not increased since 1996.

Current Entrance Fees:
$10 private vehicle
$5 Individual (walk up or bicycle)
$5 per person on a motorcycle
$25 Southeast Utah Group Annual Pass

Proposed Entrance Fees:
$25 private vehicle
$10 Individual (walk up or bicycle)
$20 per motorcycle
$50 Southeast Utah Group Annual Pass

The SEUG annual pass allows the pass holder and those traveling with him/her in a single, private, non-commercial vehicle entrance to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks and Hovenweep and Natural Bridges National Monuments.

With the exception of the annual pass, all entrance passes are valid for up to seven days only at the park where they were purchased.

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. These passes are available at the parks.

Under the NPS initiative to standardize fees, nightly campsite fees would increase while group campsite fees would be determined based on a tiered/flat rate fee structure rather than the current minimum or reservation fee in addition to per person fees. Please view news release to view proposed campground rates.
