According to the news release, the service said the act is making a big difference in the protection and enjoyment of national parks and other public lands.
The fee waiver only applies to the cost of entry, but guests will still have to pay a fee if they plan to camp.
The park service is offering more free days on Sept. 23 for National Public Lands Day and Nov. 11 for Veterans Day.
