Season Passes
Are you a frequent visitor to a favorite state park, or love to sample the beauty of the state from north to south? One of our NH State Parks Season Passes may be for you. We offer season pass options for individuals, families, youth and seacoast parking.
Passes will be valid for one year from the purchase date and can be renewed each year.
Important Notice About Pass Purchasing: To ensure the pass discount is applied when making a day-use reservation, all passes must be assigned to the pass holders ReserveAmerica account. When purchasing a seasons pass as a gift, please purchase a gift card in the amount of the pass plus the $4.50 shipping fee. The recipient can then use their ReserveAmerica account and the gift card to purchase a season pass. Please verify that the shipping address associated with your ReserveAmerica account is correct. This must be a physical address.
For family passes at least one adult must be present for the pass to be valid. A season pass does not guarantee access to the park in the event it is full to capacity. When making a reservation you can select your season pass type and the admission or parking fee will be removed. Pass holders will still be charged a $1 transaciton fee to use the online reservation system.
