Budget-minded travelers would be wise to take advantage of free days at national park, especially Everglades National Park, whose entrance fee is going up again in 2019.
Starting Jan. 10, 2019, Everglades National Park will increase from $25 to $30 per vehicle for seven days. Individual entrance fees will increase from $8 to $15 and the park’s annual pass will cost $55.
The fee waiver does not cover expanded amenity or user fees for things such as camping, boat launches, transportation, or special tours.
Sept. 8 – International Literacy Day – Admission is waived for anyone who has a library card, a book checked out from the library or donates a new or gently used, family-friendly book at any state park.

Anyone have any info about the “senior passes” for national parks? I purchased a pass MONTHS ago & haven’t had a response.
Any ideas on who I can contact?

I ASKED WHAT DAYS WERE FREE FOR FL STATE PARKS and DID NOT GET ANY ANSWER. IF THIS YEAR THERE ARE NO DAYS PLEASE SAY SO.

There are two fee-free days for Florida State Parks this year.
One is past (Sept. 8) and the other coming up: Tuesday, Nov. 11, Veterans Day.

What a great list to have! I’d like to add that if you’re planning to visit the Canaveral National Seashore on one of the free days between Nov-April the park opens up its backcountry camping during that time of year. You still have to pay for the camping site though. If you’re into primitive camping on the beach, this is an undeveloped and beautiful stretch of beach you should put on your list to visit!

Great list for referencing!
