You are not alone! Many people think that there are a lot more than 59 US National Parks. There are more than 380 properties that come under the authority of the National Park Service, but most of them are not National Parks.

I'm glad you asked!

If you are planning to visit more than a couple of these properties in a 12 month period, the National Parks pass is a good deal. It covers unlimited entrance fees - but you'll need to pay extra if you want to camp.
