Missouri State Parks offers free tours and night of camping to veterans and active-duty military

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KFVS) - To recognize and thank veterans and active-duty military members for their service, Missouri State Parks will be offering two promotions in honor of Veterans Day.

Veterans and active-duty military members camping at a Missouri State Parks campground on November 11 will receive a voucher for a free night of camping. They must be staying the night of November 11 and show identification of veteran/active-duty military status at check-in to receive a free camping coupon.

Veterans and active military members are also invited on free tours of Missouri state historic sites November 11-13, with valid identification. Missouri State Parks will accept several types of identification.

In addition, Missouri State Parks offers a $2-per-night camping discount year round at state park campgrounds for military members and veterans. Nightly camping rates vary from campground to campground, based on different criteria. Veteran and active-duty military personnel, as well as family members of active-duty military personnel – all of whom must show the proper valid military identification at time of check-in – will receive the military discount.
