Does anyone have a Interagency Access Pass - America the Beautiful Annual Pass?

When making my camping reservations, I have noticed that there is always a question asking if I have one of two passes, an Interagency Senior Pass or the Interagency Access Pass. I checked out the Interagency Access Pass and it's $80/year and I was told that it offers a "discount" on camping fees. I am not disabled, nor am I a senior. My questions is, what kind of discount does the Interagency Access Pass offer and is it the same discount for all campgrounds? Is it worth purchasing? Also, is this the only kind of national pass that is available that works for "federal" campgrounds?

Other acceptable federal agency documents include proof of receipt of Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) due to disability.

Have the Senior pass and want to note that it is a one time fee for a lifetime pass. Have received hundreds of $$ in benefits since it covers most access fees and gets you half price on camping and other fees. Is honered at all Np, Nf, CoE and most federally managed properties.

Mine is Golden Age Pass. Bought it for $10. years ago. It gives me half price at COE's and lots of free or discounted admittance to parks. I think it has been done away with.

I too have this one and there is absolutely no requirement to have any physical disabilities.

But what the OP stated was;

So neither the Senior or the Interagency Access Pass will work for her.

Don't think there is a Golden age pass anymore. Replaced with the America the Beautiful. The old ones are honored and I think I paid $15 for the ATB pass. They are both senior passes. There are no lifetime passes other than these.

America the Beautiful Pass is only good on entrance fees not on any camping fees. I had one for 2 yrs. We are not seniors and we were visiting many national and federal parks so it did pay for us to have it. Cost at the time was $80 for the pass and national park entrance fees were $20 per park (we paid nothing) and some federal park fees were waived because of the pass. Hope this helps.

We picked up the “America the Beautiful The National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass” It cost $80. We have received easy access in to the national parks we visited this summer, and at some national parks we received a discount on camp fees. Badlands NP we got about a $10 discount on camp fees. We have not tried it any Federal Recreational sites yet.

The important thing to note is that the pass the OP purchased for $80 is an ANNUAL pass, unlike the senior or disabled pass that are lifetime passes. The annual pass is more pricy and you have to estimate what travels you are planning for a year and make a decision if the $80 is a good value. If you're camping for several days and visiting a number of parks and attractions, its pretty easy to cover the cost and come out with a savings. Otherwise you might be better off just paying the fees.

Don't see that she purchased anything in her thread...looks more like she is asking questions about the different passes but only qualifies for the Annual Pass because she is not a senior or disabled.
