In all Colorado State Parks, a daily pass is required on each vehicle (not each person) entering the park. A single day pass is $10.00 and can only be purchased at the park, multiple days can be purchased at the same time. Beginning in 2023, the State of Colorado introduced an option to purchase an annual vehicle pass for $29 when renewing your vehicles license plates. If you have missed the window on including the pass with your vehicle registration, Colorado Parks and Wildlife still offers an annual vehicle pass for $80.00.
If you would like to stay overnight – on top of the daily pass, you will need to book a campsite via the cpwshop.com website. Sites are limited so we encourage you to book your site as soon as possible.
