Colorado Parks and Wildlife is grateful for the service given by our members of the military for their personal sacrifices to serve our country. In honor of their service, we offer these benefits:

• Free entrance to state parks on Veteran's Day for all active duty and retired military and their families who enter a park in the same vehicle.

• Free entrance for those with a Colorado Disabled Veterans license plate any day of the year that the park is open, not to include campgrounds.

• Colorado Disabled Veterans may apply for a Columbine Annual Pass. If the Veteran is 64 years or older, they also receive discounted camping at state park campgrounds, Sunday through Thursday excluding holidays.

See our Annual Pass page for more information on options for park entrance passes.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife welcomes active and retired members of the military to enjoy our parks and facilities. We offer accessible camping, cabins, fishing and more. See our Accessibility list for complete details at each park.

Additional information can be found here on fishing and hunting benefits for military personnel.
