Fees going up at Arizona State Parks

Fees will increase March 1, 2010 for accessing the 30 Arizona State Parks. The revised fee schedule keeps the Premium Annual Pass which allows full access on weekends at the river parks, but increases the fee from $125 to $200. The Standard Annual Entrance Pass which allows access to all the parks, but not weekends on the river, will increase from $50 to $75.

In addition there will be increases for day-use and camping fees at the state parks including an increase at Lake Havasu and Cattail Cove State Parks for day-use on weekends and state holidays from $10 to $15.
