Discount Passes

The Corps of Engineers accepts the Golden Age and Golden Access passports and the America the Beautiful Senior and Access passes as valid for discounts for camping fees. No other documentation will be accepted as proof of age or disability for the purpose of receiving discounts at Corps of Engineers parks.

As of January 1, 2007 the Corps is no longer issuing any Golden Age or Golden Access passports. Existing passports may still be used until they are lost, defaced or stolen. Replacements, America the Beautiful passes, must be obtained from a participating federal agency (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Forest Service, National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, and the Bureau of Reclamation). Passes may be purchased at the Murrell Park gatehouse, call our office at 817-865-2600 for current gatehouse hours.
