Senior citizens get discounts for all sorts of things—and outdoor adventures are included. If you have been looking for a sign to go on a rustic camping excursion, let this be it. Camp grounds and state parks across the US, from Oklahoma to California, have a number of great deals and discounts for senior citizens and disabled individuals. Here are some of them:

  • California State Parks has Limited Use Golden Bear Passes for individuals aged 62+. Cardholders and their registered domestic partners or spouses may use it to enter most California State Parks when it’s not peak season. 
  • Kansas State Parks offers discounted passes for vehicle entry for senior citizens and disabled individuals.

  • Illinois State Parks allows resident senior citizens to camp on some areas of their grounds for free from Mondays to Thursdays. Other sites offer them 50% off as well.
  • Indiana State Parks issues discounted annual passes for senior citizens.
  • Ohio State Parks offers discounts on camping fees for resident senior citizens who are Golden Buckeye cardholders.
