BLM Says Visitors Have Cashless Pay Option

(FORT BENTON)– The United States Bureau of Land Management says visitors have a new, cashless way to pay camping and recreation fees at three Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument campgrounds.
Coal Banks Landing, Judith Landing, and James Kipp campgrounds now feature electronic fee kiosks that allow visitors to pay any camping or recreation fees using a credit card. The machines can be activated by touching the screen, then users need only to follow the prompts and pay by “tap” on the machine to complete their transaction. After doing so, the machine issues a printed receipt.
“With digital banking and shopping now so common, people often don’t routinely carry cash,” said Becky Cooper, monument manager. “We’re excited to offer our visitors this option at our developed campgrounds and help make planning a camping trip a little easier.”
The traditional iron ranger fee boxes and envelopes remain available at each location for those who wish to pay with cash, Cooper noted.
