Fees & Reservations
 

The National Park Service (NPS) will waive entrance fees on the following six days: June 20-21, July 18-19, and August 15-16, 2009. Tough economic times call for economical fun, and you can’t beat America’s 391 national parks for family time, fresh air, and opportunities to learn about our great country. These fee-free weekends will be in addition to fee-free days on National Public Lands Day, September 26, and Veterans Day, November 11.

 

 

ENTRANCE FEES

Per private vehicle:
$5.00 - receipt valid for 7 Days

Contact the park for information about fees for groups and busses. Please contact us in advance if you are arriving in a large vehicle (motorhome) or bus. The Monument's compendium states that the maximum size of a vehicle allowed on the Volcano Road is 21 feet in length and/or 8 feet in width. We will try our best to accommodate visitors who have larger vehicles, but accommodation will depend upon staffing and the number of vehicles at the top of the volcano.

Capulin Volcano accepts federal passports, including all Interagency Passes, Golden Age, and Golden Access for fees.

Capulin Volcano also offers an annual pass for the monument.
$10 - Pass Valid for entrance at Capulin Volcano National Monument. Valid for 12 months beginning with issue month.


Educational Groups

Educational groups may apply for a waiver of park fees by writing the Superintendent prior to park visit.

Please help us accommodate your needs by planning in advance. We request that you submit your fee waiver request 4 weeks in advance of your visit. We schedule groups, and this helps us staff efficiently and to provide our best customer service.

Although we highly recommend pre-approval of fee waivers, we will authorize a waiver upon arrival. if we have groups already approved, and cannot accommodate more at a given time, we will offer the unplanned group the opportunity to go to the top of the volcano at a later time that day. However, you sill need to have a fee waiver pre-approved prior to any additional visits.
