If you plan to visit New York State Parks regularly, purchasing the Empire Pass will likely save you a lot of money. Daily admission rates vary between parks but run between $6 and $10. A 2022 season pass costs $80 for unlimited day-use entry and can be shared within a household and used by others. You can also purchase a 3-Year Empire Pass for $205.00 or a 5-Year Empire Pass for $320.00. If you don't want to renew every few years, you can buy an Empire Pass that never expires for $750. Unfortunately, camping is excluded from your Empire Pass.
