A Year's Park Entrance for Any Nevada Veteran — No Rating Needed

Separately from the disabled veteran permit, Nevada State Parks lists a veteran annual entrance permit giving twelve months' entrance to all state parks without entrance fees, open to Nevada veterans with no disability requirement. What it does NOT cover is camping and boat launch, which the $30 disabled veteran permit does. THE COST OF THIS PERMIT IS NOT PUBLISHED on the source reviewed, so ask before assuming it is free — and if you have a permanent service-connected disability, compare it with the $30 permit, which covers more.

What this benefit is

Separately from the disabled veteran permit, Nevada State Parks lists a veteran annual entrance permit giving twelve months' entrance to all state parks without entrance fees, open to Nevada veterans with no disability requirement. What it does NOT cover is camping and boat launch, which the $30 disabled veteran permit does. THE COST OF THIS PERMIT IS NOT PUBLISHED on the source reviewed, so ask before assuming it is free — and if you have a permanent service-connected disability, compare it with the $30 permit, which covers more.

What it's worth: Twelve months' park entrance with no entrance fees

  • Twelve months' entrance to all state parks without entrance fees.
  • NO DISABILITY REQUIREMENT is stated.
  • IT DOES NOT COVER CAMPING OR BOAT LAUNCH. The $30 disabled veteran permit does.
  • THE COST OF THIS PERMIT IS NOT ESTABLISHED from the source reviewed. Do not assume it is free.
  • Nevada veteran status is the test.
  • If you have a permanent service-connected disability, compare the two permits before buying.

Who is entitled to it

  • You served in the U.S. armed forces.
  • Your discharge meets the test.
  • Nevada state parks.

Not sure whether that describes you?

Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.

How to claim it

  1. 1Ask the Division of State Parks what this permit costs — the published page does not say.
  2. 2Ask at the same time what the $30 disabled veteran permit would cost you, if you have a permanent rating. It covers camping and boat launch as well.
  3. 3Take proof of veteran status: a DD-214 or a Nevada licence with the veteran designation.
  4. 4Check whether entrance alone is what you need. If you camp, the other permit is likely better value.
  5. 5Reservations and special events are charged separately in either case.

Worth knowingWe could not establish this permit's price. Publishing it as free would be a guess, and a veteran who arrived expecting free entry and was charged would have been misled by us.
