Whatever you have planned for this summer, your local parks are opening up their doors to some Free Days for everyone enjoy. I am a Travel Agent on the side and I love passing on information like this during an economic turmoil. It may not be much, but if you’re into camping, this will be right up your alley. Plan according and book your spot now! Here is the information from the National Park Service Web Page: America’s Best Idea – the national parks – gets even better with several fee-free days at more than 100 national parks that usually charge entrance fees.* Mark your calendar for these fee-free days in 2012:

• April 21-29 National Park Week
• June 9 Get Outdoors Day
• September 29 National Public Lands Day
• November 10-12 Veterans Day weekend

Making the fun even more affordable, many national park concessioners are joining the National Park Service in welcoming visitors with their own special offers. Here’s a tip – many of your 394 national parks NEVER charge an entrance fee. So start Planning Your Visit! *Fee waiver includes: entrance fees, commercial tour fees, and transportation entrance fees. Other fees such as reservation, camping, tours, concession and fees collected by third parties are not included unless stated otherwise.
