Visit America’s National Parks for Free on These Six Days in 2024
It’s time to plan a visit to your dream national park destination. For a few days each year, every national park in America is free to visit — including hundreds of national monuments, seashores, historic sites and more.
Less than a quarter of them have entry fees, but those that do charge up to $20 per person or up to $35 per vehicle. Revenue (收入) from these fees stays in the National Park Service to cover visitor services, including improving accessibility, restoring wildlife habitat and more.
“National parks are places that awaken senses, inspire curiosity, encourage reflection, and promote joy,” National Park Service Director Chuck Sams said in a statement. “The entrance fee-free days expand opportunities for people to visit their national parks and experience the beauty and history of our country.”
There’s a new addition to the entrance fee-free days in 2024: Juneteenth, which became recognized as a national holiday on June 17, 2021.
National park free entry days for 2024:
●Jan. 15 — Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
●April 20 — First day of National Park Week
●June 19 — Juneteenth
●Aug. 4 — Great American Outdoors Day
●Sept. 28 — National Public Lands Day
●Nov. 11 — Veterans Day
Fees for certain activities like camping and fishing will still be in place. Additionally, parks operated in partnership with outside parties may charge other types of fees. For instance, Waco Mammoth charges an access fee for its dig shelter. That park is run by the Park Service, together with the City of Waco, Texas, and Baylor University. Visitors can find site-specific details on park websites.

I’m leaving for camp for the next seven weeks. This means no more teens life until I get back. It also means I get a break from reality, my phone, my laptop, and all social media. It’s important to my mind!
My first year at summer camp was when I was 9 years old turning 10. I was excited to be in a new environment. That one year changed me forever. This brings me to today. This will be my seventh summer. I text my friends that camp created a special community for me, one close to my heart. And it taught me how to bond with people. Luckily, I got to know a “big sister”—Jane, such a great role model and cheerleader, sweet, and honest, who is now a senior in college.
This year I’m more excited because I’ll join in a tradition I experienced before. I’m finally going to be a “big sister”. The letter says they feel my love for camp, its tradition, and my enthusiasm. All make up what it takes to be a great role model. It was when that I realized I have to do everything to make sure my “sisters” had the best summer at camp.
Every year when I tell people about the camp, I get either crazy eyes, a look of relief or a look of “what the heck?” Either way, I smile at the response(反应). They don’t understand my connection with camp. Camp is my home away from home and my outlet from reality.
I’ll be busy spending each day in nature, laughing until our stomachs hurt, becoming more present with myself, having no stress, letting go, pressing the reset button, and being in my best self. Summer nineteen is going to be amazing.
