Camp at park campgrounds instead of staying in hotels (typically 70-80% savings on accommodation)

Bring camping gear and cook your own meals rather than dining out (can save 60-70% on food costs)

Visit during shoulder seasons like late fall or early spring for 25-40% lower accommodation rates

Use the free park shuttle system instead of driving to all viewpoints to save on gas and parking

Take advantage of free ranger programs and self-guided trails instead of paid guided tours

Purchase an America the Beautiful Annual Pass if visiting multiple national parks (pays for itself after 3 parks)

Only staying at premium lodges within or immediately adjacent to the park (typically 100-200% more expensive than gateway towns)
