C an I use my Golden Eagle, Age, or Access card instead of paying the fee?
A. Golden Eagle, Age, and Access passports can be used for free entrance to only those areas that charge entrance fees, or to Congressionally designated National Recreation Areas, National Monuments, and National Scenic Areas. Golden Age and Golden Access passports provide a 50 percent discount for facilities and services like camping, swimming, parking, boat launching, and cave tours. The federal land management agencies are currently working toward recommendations for a more user-friendly, better accepted system of national passes.
