COLUMBUS, Ohio — In an ongoing effort to honor those who have served in the armed forces, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) announced a new, year-round 25% discount for veterans and active-duty military members on overnight camping and rentals across Ohio State Parks.
The initiative stems from Senate Bill 233, signed into law by Governor Mike DeWine in September. The discount aims to expand access to the state’s outdoor public lands while providing financial relief for service members and their families.
“Ohio is proud to honor the men and women who have served our country, as well as those who are currently serving,” said Governor DeWine. “Offering year-round discounts at our state parks is one small way we can show our appreciation for their service and sacrifice. We want our veterans and active-duty military members and their families to enjoy Ohio’s great outdoors.”
Discount Details and Eligibility
The 25% reduction applies to most overnight services operated by Ohio State Parks, including campsites, cabins, and lodge rooms (excluding food and retail merchandise)…
