Ohio Veteran State Park Discount

No blanket free-entrance law (moot anyway — ODNR doesn't charge general entrance fees to anyone). Free camping pass for 100% disabled veterans/former POWs; state law requires a minimum 25% discount on park services/rentals for veterans and active duty generally.

Who Qualifies
OH-resident veterans with a VA permanent-and-total (100%) disability, or former POWs (free camping); all veterans/active duty (25%+ discount, general).
Proof / Documentation Needed
OH driver's license/state ID plus VA documentation of the 100% P&T rating, via a DAV/POW application.
What It Covers
Camping free for 100% disabled/POW only; camping/cabins/rentals get a 25%+ discount for all veterans — day-use entry is already free for everyone.
