Although the National Park Service (NPS) boasts that less than one-third of America’s 401 national parks charge an entrance fee, California’s favorites are among those that DO charge fees. But on Monday, August 25, 2014 they are free (other fees such as reservations, camping, tours and concessions are not included. )
