Day-Use Passes
China Camp State Park is a fee-use area. By buying a pass, you are helping keep the park, which receives no financial support from the State of California or from taxes, open and safely maintained. All fees stay within China Camp State Park, to allow Friends of China Camp to keep the park open and thriving!
A Trail-Only Day Pass is $3 per person. A Parking+Trail Day Pass is $5 per vehicle, which includes trail access for up to four people. Purchase day-use passes at one of our Electronic Pay Stations, located throughout the park. Pay stations accept cash (no change), or credit and ATM cards. Keep your ticket with you. At trail heads that don’t have electronic pay stations, please deposit exact cash in the Iron Ranger (envelopes provided; keep stub with you). Some locations also have QR codes, for payment via mobile phone, posted at trailhead kiosks. More Details
