Park Fees
All annual permits purchased after December 15, 2011 will expire December 31, 2012.
To clear up any misunderstandings, only one motor vehicle permit per year is required per vehicle. Purchasing an "off-season" permit (between 1/1/2012 - 3/31/2012 or between 10/1/2012 - 12/31/2012) still entitles you, for the remainder of the year, to enter all Kansas state parks in the motor vehicle to which this permit is affixed. By purchasing your permit early in the year, you avoid long lines and save money, as well as providing us continuous funding to keep your parks in great shape for you.
SandHills State Park - a state park motor vehicle permit is required for entry. The trail pass is no longer required.
Camping fees are "per unit" or per tent.
National Guard Permit
State funding has been made available to provide free park vehicle permits to active members of the Kansas National Guard. DO NOT FAX!
