Island Beach and Other State Parks Charging Now Through Labor Day

New Jersey state parks are charging entrance fees from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

Gates will be staffed and an entrance fee charged at state parks such as Island Beach, Allaire and Cheesequake state parks.

Additional fees for other services such as camping or fishing are also in place, often year-round.

A $50 state park pass is available, permitting entry into the state parks. Those with a pass do not have to pay the entry fee. You could also buy a daily pass.

Senior citizens and the disabled can get a pass to get into all state parks for free.

Daily rates vary depending on the park and whether a visitor is a resident or non-resident of New Jersey. For a list of fees and information about free passes for seniors and the disabled, check the state park website here.
