How to buy passes

    1. At a Park – Buy a pass from the park office or contact station when open. If you purchase the Naturally Yours Passport Plus or Naturally Yours Passport Plus for Boaters and Equestrians or the senior version of those two passes, you will receive your pass at time of purchase. Some parks do not have locations to sell passes. Find a park.

 

    1. Online – Buy your annual pass online and use it right away and until your pass comes in the mail. All sales are final, please make sure you purchase the correct pass. Buy Now

      Buying with a VSP Gift Certificate or web reservation account:
      If you need to pay with a Virginia State Parks gift certificate or have an online reservation account, use this link to pay (be sure to check your mailing address before ordering the pass to avoid additional fees).

      Buying for someone else:
      When buying a pass for someone else online, we need their name and contact information for the annual pass. The pass will be mailed to them. Use this link and enter their information in Step 1. You will need to submit your mailing address information for the payment in Step 2 (this will print on the email receipt).
      You can also buy the pass at one of our parks and provide the pass holder’s name and email address. You will be handed the pass, so you can then send it to them.

      Both systems email you a confirmation which serves as your temporary pass until your plastic hang tag arrives in the mail.
