"Extensive public engagement followed by NPS review led to the determination that the park's proposed updated campground and tour fees were comparable to fees charged by similar nearby campgrounds and tours," the National Park Service wrote in a statement.
"Joshua Tree National Park utilizes the majority of revenue collected through entrance and camping fees to provide visitor services and maintain public facilities such as campgrounds."
The general admission amenity fee will increase from $10 to $20. However, it will now be free for children 11 years old and younger.
While the park's fees are increasing, there are still some annual fee-free days throughout the year.
