Iowa State Park visitors can sign up and download the State Park Passport app to earn points toward prizes and giveaway opportunities. In its seventh year in a partnership with Travel Iowa, the Passport has been a popular way to explore new parks and track outdoor adventures.
Through October 31, passport holders can earn points by checking into dozens of state parks and forests. Each park has a different point value (either 100, 200 or 300 points), with remote or “hidden gem parks” earning higher points.
- 500 points – any passholder redeeming at this level gets $5.00 off an overnight camping stay
- 1,000 points – first 500 passholders to redeem at this level get a beautiful and unique sticker. Created by Iowa artist Naomi Friend, choose from 20 different state park designs.
- 2,500 points – first 300 passholders to redeem at this level get a free Iowa state park t-shirt
Additionally, each check-in counts as an automatic entry into a sweepstakes drawing for a three-night stay at a four-bedroom cabin at Springbrook State Park.
