Visitors to Saguaro National Park will notice some changes in January.
First, Saguaro National Park is changing the way the park manages overnight camping permits in the Rincon Mountain Wilderness. Starting today, campers will go to Recreation.gov to reserve their camping permits for trips starting on February 1 or later. The visitor center will not issue permits in person after January 31. Permit reservations are taken 2 months in advance of the permitted start of a trip.
Saguaro National Park will modify its entrance fees to provide additional funding for commissions to recreation.gov, infrastructure and maintenance needs to enhance the visitor experience.
Effective January 1, 2020 entrance fees to the park will be $25 per vehicle, $20 per motorcycle, $15 for individual pedestrian or bicycle, and an annual park pass will cost $45.
