According to a National Park Service press release, the proposed increase would raise the current fee of $20 per site/per night to $26 per site/per night starting in January 2025.

“The new fee would match the campground fees throughout the rest of the park,” park staff said. “Funds from an increase would be used for activities and projects that serve visitors to Glen Canyon.”

Public comments are being accepted on the National Park Service Planning, Environment & Public Comment website at this link.
