Special use permits: You may need a special use permit for commercial filming or some still photography in national parks. Under federal law, all commercial filming that occurs within a unit of the National Park System requires a permit. Commercial filming is defined as the film, electronic, magnetic, digital, or other recording of a moving image by a person, business, or other entity for a market audience with the intent of generating income. Examples include feature films, videography, and documentaries. Commercial filming may also involve the advertisement of a product or service, or the use of actors, models, sets, or props. You can contact the special park use office to inquire about a permit.
