The New Mexico State Parks Division (State Parks) of the Energy Minerals and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD) has completed a Fees Study to determine the appropriate fee levels for admission and use of facilities and amenities related to 35 state parks in 25 of 33 counties.

State Parks rely heavily on self-generated revenue through entrance and camping fees, concessions, and other related revenue streams to accomplish its mission of enhancing natural and cultural resources, providing first-class recreational and education facilities and opportunities, and promoting public safety to benefit and enrich the lives of more than five million visitors each year.

State Parks fees are set by rule and have not kept pace with inflation. The principal objective of the Fees Study was to explore options to adjust fees and propose adjustments that will improve the agency’s financial position while still providing affordable state park access for New Mexico citizens and visitors to our state.

Key elements in the Fees Study:
Elimination of day-use fees for New Mexico residents;
Implementation of a non-resident day-use fee;
Eliminating Annual Passes;
Adjusting camping and utility fees;
Adjusting boat registration and launching fees; and
Adjusting entrance fees at Living Desert Zoo and Gardens State Park and Smokey Bear Historical Park.

The public is encouraged to provide comments on the New Mexico State Parks Fees Study rule changes. Written comments will be accepted until March 29, 2024.
