Camping Fees for Active Military Personnel
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said that it will waive day use and Camping fees for active military personnel and Department of Defense Civilians who are on a mid or reintegration leave from duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, said on Monday.
The Corps operates almost 2,476 recreation sites nationwide. The waiver applies to all immediate family members who accompanied them on their visit. In order to get the waiver, Department of Defense civilians and active service military personnel on leave must show the identification and leave orders/forms when they arrive at the recreation sites.
The waiver will be applied to day use and fees of camping. It will be walk-up and space available basis of fees, and also for reservations made through the National Recreation Reservation Service Call Center. But, through Recreation.gov, the fees will not be waived for online reservations.
Located on Corps lands such as state, local and other managing entities of recreation areas are encouraged to comply with this free waiver, but not required.
