We're updating our camping and moorage fees to continue providing great experiences for visitors amid inflation and rising costs. You will see a rate increase for camping stays booked for May 15 and beyond. Moorage fees will increase Jan. 1. Learn more here.
Moorage Permit
This annual permit waives the moorage fee at State Park marine facilities.
The Annual Moorage Permit $5 per foot of your vessel's total length, with a $60 minimum. It is valid from Jan 1 - Dec 31.
This permit is assigned to one vessel and is not interchangeable. Vessel registration or Cost Guard number must be provided upon purchase. Vessels used commercially do not qualify for this permit.
Shipping update for Canadian customers
Due to the Canadian postal strike, we are unable to mail permits to Canada using US mail. Canadian customers can still buy permits, but will be subject to extra shipping costs using UPS. Customers will be contacted by Parks to collect payment. Shipping fees will vary depending on mailing address.
Fee increase
Our moorage fees are increasing so we can continue providing unique boating experiences. Moorage fees will increase on Jan. 1. If you're pre-ordering a 2025 Moorage Permit, the fee increase will be reflected in the price. Learn more here.
