   Option 1: IN PERSON

The quickest way to purchase a gift card is to visit a North Carolina state park visitor center or office.

You can find our full list of state parks and their contact information here.

Please call the park prior to your visit to make sure that they have them available in stock, especially during the holiday season when they are very popular.

   Option 2: BY MAIL

If you cannot visit a state park to purchase a gift card, you can purchase one from our Raleigh administrative office by mail.

We accept only personal checks for gift card purchases by mail.

If you have questions about purchasing a gift card by mail, please call our Raleigh office at 919-707-9300.

Please note: Money added to a gift card must be used within 1 year of purchase date.

At this time, we do not have an online ordering system for gift cards. As an alternative, you can purchase a North Carolina State Parks Annual Pass from our web store. The annual passes cover entrance fees, equipment rentals, and swimming passes, but NOT camping or facility reservation fees.
