CPW announces new camping fees
Colorado Parks and Wildlife announces increases to basic, electric, full hook-up and cabin/yurt camping fees at the 33 parks where camping is available, effective Nov. 1. This is the first increase in camping fees since 2010.
Depending upon the type of site, fee increases range from $2 to $10 per night. Yurts and cabins incurred the greatest hike. The current camping fees will not change for people who have already made future reservations. Most camping fees range from $10 to $28, not including the reservation fee and park pass. Every vehicle entering the park, including RVs and towed vehicles, must have a park pass for each day. Annual park passes are $70, and most daily parks passes are $7.
