New Reservation Policies At Utah State Parks

People wanting to reserve campsites, pavilions and boat slips at Utah state parks need to be aware of new policies that are now in effect.

- Major credit cards will be required for all transactions (no cash or checks)
- People need to create an online "camper profile" before they can reserve a campground

The Ogden Standard Examiner has this news article explaining the changes. Below are excerpts.

Only major credit cards are being accepted by state parks for camping and other types of reservations, State Parks spokeswoman Hollie Brown said. “Cash and checks are no longer accepted,” Brown said in a news release issued Thursday.

The second change affecting customers is that all reservation customers are being asked to set up a State Parks camper profile by visiting www.stateparks.utah.gov and clicking on Internet reservations, Brown said.

Establishing a profile provides faster and better service for future reservations, as well as providing information for state parks in the event of an emergency, she said.
