@LangfordKen Hello, Gulf Islands National Park Reserve does not charge entry / admission fees. The only required fee is the camping fee for those who wish to camp and visit the national park reserve. Thank you.

@GulfIslandsNPR aside from the actual camping fee, is there a daily park fee as well? Planning a trip in May and can’t tell for sure on the website…thx

The New Year is here! Did you make any #resolutions this year? How about planting some native species to increase #biodiversity on your property and help create habitat for many birds, insects, and other creatures?
