Annual Permits for Day Use & Camping
Purchase online at RESERVE.WYOMING.GOV, by phone at 877-WYO-PARK, or visit a statewide selling agent.  Proof of residency is required (i.e. vehicle registration or driver license).  To purchase additonal vehicle permits at the discounted rate, you must show proof of original permits purchased and vehicle registration.  More info is provided below. 

What are Annual Passes?
Annual passes are stickers that are affixed to a vehicle windshield for discounts for a calendar year.  Day use permits are required at most state parks and historic sites and camping permits are required for all campsites. 

Frequent visitors often purchase annual passes.  An annual day use pass covers day use fees for one vehicle for the calendar year.  An annual camping pass covers camping fees for one vehicle for the calendar year.  A camping pass does not cover day use fees.  To cover both fees, customers should purchase both passes.  
Note: Annual camping passes are only available to Wyoming residents.  

Additional Vehicles - Discounted Permits
Customers who have purchased annual passes at the regular or early bird price may purchase passes for additional vehicles registered to their same name or address at 50% off (of the normal price). Unless purchased simultaneously with your original permits, additional vehicle passes can only be purchased through parks/selling agents or by calling 877-WYO-PARK.  To purchase at a park or selling agent, customers must provide proof of original permit purchase and vehicle registration for additional vehicles.  

How to Purchase

• By phone at 877-WYO-PARK
   
• Online* at RESERVE.WYOMING.GOV
  *Note that additional vehicle permits can only be purchased online if full-price permits are purchased in the same transaction.  All those permits will be associated with the account they are purchased under.  
   
• In-person at a park or statewide selling agent.  For a list of sales locations, please check the bottom of this page.  Customers must bring proof of original sale and registrations for the additional vehicles.

How to Use Annual Passes
If purchased online or through the call center, customers can start using their passes for discounts on reservations right away.  They can also print off their confirmation letter and use it for park/historic site entrance until they receive their stickers.  Pass orders generally arrive in ~10 business days.  For information about how to use your annual passes for online reservations, check out this how-to video.

Wyoming residents may begin booking campsites up to 120 days prior to arrival. Non-residents may begin booking up to 113 days prior to arrival.  Check out this downloadable booking calendar that shows the earliest dates to book.

Reservation Fees: Residents = $4      Non-Residents = $8

Fee Payment:  Fees for day use and camping are charged per vehicle.  A reservation pays for only one vehicle and any additional vehicles must pay on arrival at a booth or self-pay station.

Refund Policy:  Full refunds (minus the reservation fee) will be offered for cancellations made on or before the day of arrival. No refunds will be given for unused days/nights if a visitor leaves early. Annual permits are non-refundable.  Reservation fees are non-refundable.

Check-In/Check-Out:  Check-in is required upon arrival. Check-in is after 3:00 pm, check out is before 11:00 am. For late arrivals, contact the park at least 12 hours prior to arrival.

No-Show Reservations Cancelled:  If someone doesn’t show up for their reservation by 11 am the day following arrival (no-show), their reservation is not automatically cancelled.  Wyo Parks staff have to physically visit the site to confirm it is empty then go into the system to cancel the reservation.  This requires staff time and delays the site becoming available for others!  Please be courteous and cancel your reservation if you won’t use it.   

No-Show Penalties: When a customer doesn't arrive to their site by 11 am the day following their scheduled arrival, they are considered a 'no-show'.  If you aren't able to use your reservation, please cancel so another family has the opportunity to enjoy the site. 

Repeat offenders are tracked in the system, and the following penalties may be applied:
    - 1^st  and 2^nd No-Show: Reservation cancelled (with no refund)
    - 3rd No-Show: All reservations for the year cancelled (with no refunds)
    - 4 or more: Suspension of reservation privileges

18-Day Holds
To prevent users from circumventing the booking rules (sliding reservations forward), an 18-day hold on date changes will apply to reservations made at the maximum booking date of 120/113 days before arrival.  After the 18th day, date changes will be permitted as usual.

First-Come, First-Served Campsites
During the reservation season, most campsites require reservations.  However, there are some first-come, first-served (aka 'walk in') sites at most locations. 

Other Important Information

• Sites must be occupied nightly.
   
• There is a 14-day camping limit in any 30-day period at any state park. This is a ‘rolling’ 30-day period so any number of stays totaling over 14 days within 30 days of each other (at the same park) is not permitted.
   
• Dogs must be on leashes when outside of a vehicle or camping unit.
   
• Visitor fees are vital to Wyo Parks!  100% of the revenue collected through visitor fees goes right back to parks and sites to fund new construction, improvement projects, site interpretation, and maintenance.
