“This modest increase in fees will allow us to continue to protect, preserve and share the special places here at Dinosaur with current visitors and future generations,” said Dinosaur Superintendent Phil Akers. “After soliciting input from the public and carefully considering the impact of a camping fee increases on visitors and community members, we came to the conclusion that this is the right course of action to improve facilities and services important to visitors.”
