King Range National Conservation Area WHAT PERMIT DO WE NEED TO USE THE KING RANGE?All organized groups accessing the King Range National Conservation Area need a BLM Special Recreation Permit. The information below will help you determine if you need a Special Recreation Permit, and whether you need a Commercial or Organized Group Permit. All organized groups will be assessed a $95 permit fee but only commercial groups will require proof of insurance. Please note that any fees you pay will go directly back to the King Range to maintain trails and facilities, and to provide other visitor services in support of the area. NOTE: If you have any questions as to your group' status, please contact our office at 707-986-5400. COMPLETED PERMIT APPLICATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY OUR OFFICE AT LEAST 30 DAYS PRIOR TO YOUR DATE OF ARRIVAL. PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY.COMMERCIAL PERMIT: Under BLM policy, if any person, organization or company makes or attempts to make a profit, salary, increase their business or financial standing, or supports in any part, other programs or activities from amounts rendered to participants, the use will be considered commercial and subject to commercial permit fees .
