Annual Passes for Day Use & Camping
Purchase online at RESERVE.WYOMING.GOV, by phone at 877-WYO-PARK, or visit a statewide selling agent.  

What are Annual Passes?
Annual passes (aka 'permits') are stickers available for purchase that cover day use and/or camping fees to Wyo Parks.  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 the same name or address at 50% off (of the normal price). Vehicle registration for the second vehicle may be required to validate same name or address.

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 a 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.

Wyo Parks 2026 Reservation Information

Reservation Season: May 1 – September 30

Until May 1, all campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Simply choose an empty campsite and enjoy!

Book Your 2026 Adventures Starting January 1!

• Online 24/7: RESERVE.WYOMING.GOV

• By Phone: 877-WYO-PARK (877-996-7275)

• Call Center Hours: 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. daily

NEW FOR 2026: Improving Access for Everyone

At Wyo Parks, we hear your feedback: getting a reservation for popular sites or holiday weekends can be difficult.  For 2026, we are introducing THREE important changes:

#1 - All inventory now releases at 7:00 a.m. (instead of 1:00 a.m.)

#2 - No more 'Cancel & Grab'

We’ve been hard at work investigating how to bring more fairness to site availability.  We have identified a trend where users coordinate 'handoffs' of desirable campsites or dates by shortening a reservation so their partner can 'grab' the next available dates.   

To help every camper have a fair shot, we are introducing a 'Release Delay':

• The Problem: Previously, when someone cancelled a site, it became available instantly. This allowed people to coordinate to 'cancel and grab' sites at odd hours before anyone else knew they were available.

• The Solution: Starting this season, any time a reservation is cancelled or shortened, that inventory will not return to the system immediately.

• The New Rule: All freed-up campsites will be held by the system and released to the public all at once at 7:00 AM the following day.

#3 - Updated Cancellation & Refund Policy

To help ensure that unused campsites are available for other families to enjoy, we have updated our refund deadline.

• For a Refund: Cancellations must be completed at least two days prior to your arrival date (by midnight).  For example, if you are supposed to check in on June 7th, you have until midnight on June 5th to cancel for a refund.

• Late Cancellations: Cancellations made on the day before or the day of arrival are non-refundable.

• Note: Reservation, change, and transaction fees remain non-refundable. No refunds are issued for early departures.

Fees & Policies

• Reservation Fees: Residents $4 | Non-Residents $8 (Non-refundable).

• Vehicle Fees: Fees are charged per vehicle. A reservation covers one vehicle; additional vehicles must pay upon arrival.

• NEW! Refunds:  To help deter 'no-shows' and free up inventory, we have changed the cancellation policy.  In order to receive a refund*, cancellations must be made two days before arrival (by midnight).  Cancellations made after that deadline are not refunded.  Refunds are not given for reservation fees, change fees, or transaction fees. No refunds for early departures.

• 18-Day Hold: To prevent "sliding" reservations forward, any booking made at the maximum window (120/113 days) cannot be modified for 18 days.

No-Show & Occupancy Rules

Please cancel if you can't make it! Staff must physically verify empty sites before they can be re-listed, which delays access for other families.

• Check-In: Required after 3:00 p.m. Check-out is before 11:00 a.m.

• No-Show Penalty: If you haven't arrived by 11:00 a.m. the day after your scheduled arrival, you are a "no-show."

  • 1st & 2nd Offense: Reservation cancelled (no refunds).

  • 3rd Offense: All reservations for the year cancelled (no refunds).

  • 4th+ Offense: Suspension of reservation privileges.

General Rules

• 14-Day Limit: You may camp for a maximum of 14 days in any 30-day "rolling" period at a single park.

• Occupancy: Sites must be occupied nightly by the individual named on the account.

• Pets: Dogs must be on leashes at all times.

Your Fees at Work: 100% of revenue collected from visitor fees goes directly back into Wyoming State Parks to fund new construction, improvements, and maintenance. Thank you for supporting your parks!

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.

• Campsites may only be occupied by the individual associated with the account used to make the reservation.
   
• 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.
