Half-Price Camping in Every State Park, for Any Montana Veteran
Montana halves camping fees at its state parks for any resident veteran — no disability rating, no age threshold, no wartime service test. Proof is a DD 214, a VA ID card, or a Montana driver's licence carrying the veteran designation, which is the easiest of the three to keep in a wallet. Electrical fees are excluded, so a powered site is half price on the base fee and full price on the hook-up.
