Daily Entrance Permits can be purchased online with a camping reservation. (If you have a Larimer County Annual parks pass for your vehicle, then do not input your vehicle info when reserving a campsite.) To show proof of Daily Permits, print and display the first page of your confirmation email and place it on the lower corner passenger side dashboard area of the corresponding vehicle .
