No Park Entrance Fees at State Parks for 2022

Updated: May 26, 2022 Short URL: gonj.me/c72emb

The NJ State Park System has decided to stop (or not start) collecting park entrance fees this summer...

With the start of Memorial Day weekend this Saturday, entry to all of New Jersey’s state parks, forests and recreation areas this summer will be free of charge, Governor Murphy and Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Shawn M. LaTourette announced.

Park entrance fees will be waived for all visitors arriving by foot, bicycle, motorcycle or passenger car. Anyone who already purchased a 2022 annual State Park Pass will be receiving a full refund.

Other individual park fees remain in place, including but not limited to mobile sport fishing vehicle permits.
