California State Parks Passes- FOR FREE!

Abby H.

Did you know there are several ways to gain free access to California State parks?

If you are part of the CalWorks program, receive SSI, or are over 62,  you can receive a free Golden Bear pass by learning more or signing up here.

Do you have a fourth grader in your family? If so, we invite you to add to your child’s school curriculum by visiting 19 select state park units for FREE via an Adventure Pass. Learn more here.

Are you a veteran? The Distinguished Veteran pass entitles the bearer to free vehicle day use, family camping, and boat use at over 100 California State Parks-operated units.   Learn more here. 

If you fit none of those criteria, check out your local California library to check out a free State Parks pass. More information can be found here.

With all of these ways to grab a free pass, which state park will you visit? We are looking forward to some free trips to Silver Strand State Beach!
