There are concerns New Zealanders could be priced out of their own backyard.
The Government's seeking feedback on who should pay visitor fees at national parks and conservation areas.
The options include charging everyone the same, charge New Zealanders less than international visitors, or only charge overseas visitors.
Federated Mountain Clubs President Megan Dimozantos told Ryan Bridge they're open to foreign access charges.
She says they have the means to pay, and infrastructure has already been established there to service them, but they’re against domestic access charging.
