(Staff photo) Campground entrance lees as set forth in the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 to become effective on the Blue Ridge Parkway June 10, were announced Thursday by Super intendent Sam P. Weems. He exnlained that while these fees will be charged for entrance to the various camning areas along the Parkway, there is no en trance fee as such to the Park wav motor road since the Land ahd Water Conservation Fund Act specifically prohibits any such charge. Weems explained that the new fees are broken down Into three categories—daily, 30-day, and annual. They are: Daily— 50c net person ar $1.00 per vehicle and all occupants there in. He explained that this one dav permit will be honored at dll entrance or admission fee areas on the date stamped thereon. 30-day—$l.SO per person or $3.00 pei1 vehicle and aU oc cupants therein. As indicated, these campground entrance permits are valid for $0 days only in the area in which they were purchased but will allow multiple visits during the 30 day period. Annual — Kecreanon/conser vation permit at $7.00 which will permit the holder and all passengers in his vehicle mul tiple Visits to camDgrounds on the Blue Ridge Parkway and more than 7.000 other Federal areas throughout the United States where a similar fee is charged. This $7.00 “Golden Passport” will be valid for the one-year period April 1, 1966, through March 31, 1967. America’s growing need for outdoor recreation areas was recognized bt Congress with the passage of the conservation legislation in 1965. This law authorizes the charging of en trance, admission, and user fees at designated Federal recrea tion areas and dedicates the money from these fees, plus the revenue from sale of surplus Federal real estate and the Federal tax on fuel used in pleasure boats, to the purchase and development of public re creation lands and waters. :* M'b resuW of‘last year’s ex. perience, the 1966 Federal Re ’fereatidn permit system has been simplified and streamlin ed.

The "Golden Passport” must be tianaH by the purchaser and will be honored for entrance to designated Federal recreation Ureas where an entrance fee is anolicable. It entitles the pur chaser and all persons accom panying him in a private non commercial vehicle to enter all Such designated areas. In addi tion to carload entry at areas reached hv vehicle, and differ ing from last vear, the “Golden Passoort” entitles the purchas er only to enter all Federal re creation areas that charge en trance fees regardless of his mode of transportation includ ing walk-in entry to designated areas, such as the Custis-Lee Mansion. Va. Superintendent Weems points out that camping by any one oersob or group is limited to 14 davs at anv one eamovround during the intensive public-use season on the Parkway from Memorial Day through Labor Day. He also points out that no fees will be assessed for the use of picnic areas by visitors. Although they do not affect the Bine Ridge Parkway, Mr. Weems aavises uuu m some other areu of the National Park System, there will he special user charges for guide services, bath house lockers,, elevator services and similar uses. Such special user fees do not come under coverage of the “Golden Passport” or the abort term entrance at admission permits. In all designated Federal Recreation Areas the entrance, admission or special User fees are applicable to adults (per sons IS years of age or older) except that groups from bona fide educational institutions and the persons in charge of such groups (regardless of age) will be exempt from the pay ment of the appropriate fees when the trip is conducted for educational purposes.
