Commercial Recreation Permit
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) requires commercial business intending to operate on general state land overnight, but no more than 14 consecutive nights in one location, to obtain a Commercial Recreation Permit (CRP). This authorization allows a business registered in Alaska to legally access state-owned public land for activities such as big game guiding, commercial filming, camping and trekking on state uplands, shorelands, tidelands, and freshwater bodies.
Businesses are required to register their commercial recreation in advance of the use each calendar year.
For proposed state land use beyond 14 consecutive nights in the same location please see Land Use Permit.
