What this benefit is

Kentucky state parks give active and retired military 15% off lodging from April to October under the Military Discount option, a discount code from November to March, and 10% off camping through the Military customer type when booking online. There is no disability requirement.

What it's worth: 15% off lodging April to October, 10% off camping, with a discount code in winter

  • Lodging is 15% off from APRIL TO OCTOBER, selected as the Military Discount option.
  • From NOVEMBER TO MARCH a discount code is used instead — a different mechanism for the same season's booking.
  • Camping is 10% off, selected as the Military customer type when booking online.
  • The parks page describes it for active and RETIRED military with proof of service; the state veterans department lists park discounts among veteran benefits.
  • There is no disability requirement, which is why this reaches veterans the free-stay benefit does not.
  • If you are 100% service-connected disabled, the free stay is worth far more — use that instead.

Who is entitled to it

  • You served in the U.S. armed forces.
  • You are in Kentucky.
