How Do Day Use Fees Work

SCAN & PAY

Scan and Pay allows you to pay from your mobile device for a first-come, first-served experience using the Recreation.gov mobile app.

If the site utilizes Scan & Pay processing, a QR code can easily be found on a nearby bulletin board or kiosk. Because many locations are in remote areas without mobile coverage, it is important to install the Recreation.gov mobile app before you travel to your destination.

Once you have the Recreation.gov mobile app installed on your phone, it is easy to scan the QR code at the site and process the payment. If there is no mobile coverage at the site, no problem. The payment will simply be stored and complete the process once you enter an area with coverage.

PRO TIP

  • Download the app before your visit.

  • Don’t worry if there is no mobile coverage on site. Payments will be stored and processed when you return to an area with coverage.
