More Information About the Survey
What is the Visitor Use Survey? The visitor use survey is an effort to learn about the visitor experience at each Nevada State Park. The information provided by our visitors will help NDSP improve parks and inform development, conservation, and recreation planning in a manner that aligns with visitor preferences.
This project is a partnership between the NDSP and the Nevada Economic Assessment Project (NEAP)—a University of Nevada Reno Extension program. The NEAP team will use the information provided by visitors to demonstrate how state park visitors value their parks and how visitation contributes to Nevada’s economy.
For more information on NEAP please visit their website.
Who takes the survey? Visitors are selected at random to participate while visiting the park.
What does the survey measure? The survey asks basic information regarding the visit such as length of stay, group size, activities done, and facilities used; it asks questions about the visitor experience and condition of the park facilities; it asks economic questions such as how much was spent in order to visit the parks.
FAQ
About the survey:
How was I selected? You were randomly selected and asked to participate by a park staff during your visit to one of our parks.
Why should I respond? It is extremely important that you respond so your voice is heard. If we receive quality feedback, this survey can be used to improve the visitor experience.
Will my voice have an impact? Yes! The results of this research will indicate which management objectives are most important to park visitors. To ensure that your preferences are taken into consideration, please fill out the questionnaire.
Who is conducting this study? The University of Nevada, Reno is partnering with the Nevada Division of State Parks to collect this important information.
About the All-Access State Parks Permit:
How do I win the All-Access State Parks Permit? By completing the survey, you are automatically entered in a raffle to win. All-Access permit drawings will take place once per year.
What is the All-Access State Parks Permit? The permit is normally $250 and authorizes the holder to enter all parks and use the facilities of the parks without paying the entrance, camping, or boating fees for 12 months. The All-Access permit may be assigned to up to 2 vehicles but may be used by only one vehicle at a time. For the use of a campsite at which a hook-up is available, a $10 per vehicle charge will be assessed.
What if I already have an All-Access State Parks Permit? You can redeem the permit when your current permit expires.
Confidentiality:
Is this completely confidential? Yes, we are using the strict privacy guidelines and procedures that are standard for all University of Nevada Reno research to ensure complete confidentiality. Your name will never be connected to your response and the survey data will never be used for other purposes.
Is my email safe? Absolutely. We will not share your email outside this project. You can expect up to four emails in total. Three emails will contain survey information and the fourth would be informing you if you win the annual all-access parks permit.
If you opt in for similar surveys in the future, you may receive invitations for those via email.
