Tennessee State Parks To Offer Veterans Free Camping
CHESTER CO., Tenn. — Tennessee State Parks announced its annual free state parks day for all Tennessee veterans offering one free night of camping and/or a complimentary round of golf with appropriate identification. The free day on Nov. 11 is in addition to Tennessee State Parks’ current veterans’ policy, which includes a camping discount within the state parks system. To receive the free state parks day benefits and extended discounts, veterans need to provide proof of residency with a Tennessee driver’s license; and proof of veteran’s status, with a certificate of discharge or veterans administration benefit card. “Well, it feels good, we like to do that, especially when you’re honoring someone who has done something for us and we’re doing something for them in return, it does make you feel really good,” Jerry Easley said, Chickasaw State Park Park Manager.
