ALL the fees collected at Montana State Parks (park entrance, camping, sale of firewood, shower costs, Passports, etc.) return directly to the operation, maintenance and rehabilitation of State Parks. In this way, our visitors help pay for things like garbage collection, painting buildings, providing educational brochures and tours to repairing vandalism and replacing worn out picnic tables. Park fees, however, pay for less than one quarter of park costs. Our park budgets also rely on other earmarked sources, including a portion of Montana’s accommodation tax. Without park-fee revenues, our parks would not be open and there would be no services and facilities for you and our many visitors to enjoy. Thank you for your help in preserving Montana’s State Parks! Doug Monger, Montana State Parks Administrator
