Tennessee State Parks has issued a new policy to give resident Tennessee Veterans one free night of camping, as well as free green fees for 18 holes of golf on Veterans Day every year.
“This is just a small courtesy that State government can extend to show our appreciation for their service,” Rep. Curtis Johnson (R-Clarksville) said. “I hope that many veterans will be able to take advantage of this.”
Veterans should bring proof of their Tennessee residency such as a TN drivers’ license, along with proof of veterans’ status such as their Military issued id card, DD214, VA benefit card, etc.
Tennessee State Parks also provides a year-round discount to all active duty U.S. military regardless of their branch of service or where they are stationed.

This camping discount is available to Tennessee residents showing proof of prior military duty. Acceptable ID’s for proof of eligibility include a VA benefits card, retired military ID, or a DD-214.
