Montana's State Parks Keep It Simple For Visitors

Print

Montana’s State Parks bring the real Montana real close for residents and their visitors. Many of the state’s 50 state parks are close to Montana communities, making them an easy and inexpensive drive.

The only fees for residents are for special services such as overnight camping, showers, some guided tours, special events and cabin, tipi and yurt rentals. Some Fishing Access Sites also require a camping fee.

An optional $4 fee included on the registration of light vehicles in Montana helps maintain and improve Montana’s 50 State Parks and 320 Fishing Access Sites. This includes support for interpretive programs, tours, boat ramps and campground repairs, historic preservation work, weed control and trash removal.

Nonresident State Parks visitors continue to pay a daily entrance fee, or they may purchase a nonresident Montana State Parks summer pass for $25 per vehicle.
