No Federal parks only or COE Areas...but both of these are in every state in some way shape or form.........Refer to national park website for uses with the golden age passport.
I have primarily used nothing but coe and federal parks in my travels....plus boondocking I wouldnt have it any other way!!

Idaho state parks offer seniors a 50% discount and one doesn't need to be a resident of the state.

We found a couple years ago that Louisana State Parks honor the Golden Age Passport.

Some states use the card as proof of age/disablity and then will give you a discount, but don't offically "honor" them.

Louisiana used to for everyone. Now you must be a resident. Hubby who USED to be a resident doesn't count. Their system changed about two years ago much to our disappointment.

did alot of research this winter for summer travel......alot of parks (east coast) are opening late and cutting back on staff and discounts....even the golden age card and disability are taking a hit.......the government is allowing private companies to operate the parks and the rules are now different for each company. its definitely going to be a call before you go issue
Prep up on your boondocking skills....this is going to be felt all over......its hard to believe it costs more to give me less in the woods with volunteers doing the work........who says you cant get something for nothing!!!! just ask the government!!

Good to know, Idaho has some beautiful campgrounds.

Missouri state parks are reasonably priced. There is a new fee schedule this year, but prices are still pretty good. A "family campsite" I believe is a double one. Here's the new fee schedule: http://mostateparks.com/sites/default/files/2013rates_effective130501.pdf
