2026 Entrance Fees

Utah State Parks lists these day-use fees for Antelope Island:

• Standard vehicle: $15, covering up to eight people.
• Senior vehicle: $10, when the driver is 65 or older, up to eight people.
• Motorcycle: $5 each.
• Pedestrians and bicyclists: $3 per person.
• Commercial groups: $5 per person and $10 per bus.
• Educational groups with a reservation: $2 per person and $5 per vehicle. Groups that arrive without one pay the general fee.

The day-use pass can be bought in advance through the Utah State Parks pass site, linked as "Day Pass" on the official park page.

Annual Passes and the Causeway Fee

The island sits at the end of the Davis County Causeway, and that road has its own small fee. How it works depends on which pass you hold:

• Antelope Island Annual Pass: $65, and it includes the Davis County Causeway fee.
• Utah State Parks annual day-use pass: $125 for Utah residents, $65 for Utah seniors. It does not cover the $2 Davis County Causeway fee.
• Causeway sticker: statewide annual pass holders can buy a $15 causeway sticker at the entrance booth instead of paying the $2 each time.

If you visit the island more than four times a year, the $65 island pass costs less than paying $15 at the gate each visit.

Camping Fees

Campsite fees are charged per night on top of the reservation: $30 for a standard Bridger Bay site, $40 with water and electric hookups, $40 at White Rock Bay, $20 at Ladyfinger and the Split Rock Bay backcountry sites, $180 for the Lakeside group site and $200 for a cottage. The full breakdown is on the Camping page.

Other Permits

• Drones: prohibited from March through November; allowed by permit only from December through February. Day-of permits are issued at the Visitor Center.
• Special events, weddings and professional photo shoots: a Special Use Permit with a $10 application fee plus event fees. No special use permits start between September 15 and November 15, because of the bison roundup.
• Portrait photography: a Portraiture Photography Pass from the front gate or the gift shop.
• Metal detecting: by permit only, from the front gate or the gift shop.
