How to Use Your Green Key
To use your card at one of our Parks, simply show your Green Key card at the entrance booth or check in cabin and receive the discounted rate for parking, Golf Rounds, Campsites and Boat Slips.
To use your Green Key to make an online reservation for golf, camping, marinas, or to purchase our various permits, log into the online reservation system using your username and password.
- Upon purchase of your Green Key, you will receive an email with a link to set up your account. Once your account is set up you can use your username and password to log in and make reservations. If you forget your username or password, you can reset it using the links on the log in page of the reservation system.
Individuals living at the same address will be grouped in the same household on our reservation system and assigned a Household number. Each household member needs their own Green Key to receive the discounts on parking, permits and camping reservations. We do not issue family passes that can be used by all members of the household. Using a Green Key card not issued to you will result in the card being rejected and possibly confiscated by park staff, and you will have to pay full price for any parking, camping, or permit purchases.
