Insurance Links for State Parks
Special-use permit holders and their vendors buy their own liability coverage through one link, with the state agency named as additional insured.

A state park special-use permit — a wedding at an overlook, a trail race, an outfitter's season, a festival in a day-use area — comes with insurance language drafted by a state agency, and state agencies do not accept approximate certificates.
Permit applicants are usually individuals, small outfitters, or volunteer groups. The distance between what the permit requires and what they can produce is wide, and park staff spend real time closing it by email.
A link preloaded with the agency's exact naming requirements lets the applicant satisfy it directly, and gives the permit office a consistent document instead of thirty formats.
What you're actually exposed to
- A participant is injured at a permitted event on park land.
- An outfitter's or guide's activity results in a claim naming the agency.
- A vendor at a permitted festival in a day-use area has no coverage.
- The state's required naming language is missed and the permit can't be issued on time.
There are two links — most places need both
A renter's policy covers their event. It does not cover the food vendor they hired or the band they booked. Those are separate businesses with separate exposure, so they need their own coverage — and you need to be named on that too.
Whole-space link
For the person or company renting your entire space for their own event. They buy a TULIP for the dates they have the place, and you're named as additional insured on it.
Weddings, receptions, reunions, birthday parties, clubhouse rentals, conferences, corporate offsites, fundraisers, memorials.
Vendor link
For each business working inside the event — they buy their own policy for their own booth or act, and your grounds are named on each of those policies.
Food vendors, entertainers, product and merchandise sellers, antique dealers, clothing sellers, crafters, service vendors.
You can set up one or both on the same form below — there's no extra cost either way, and the renters and vendors buy their own coverage.
How it works for your grounds
Require proof of insurance from your vendors and space renters without collecting it by hand. One set-up, then the certificates come to you instead of you chasing them.

Your vendors are eligible too
It isn't only the person who rents the park system. The businesses that work your events can buy their own event liability coverage through your vendor link — for a single day, a weekend, or a whole season of dates.
Booths, stands, concession trailers, and food trucks serving at your event.
Bands, DJs, dancers, magicians, face painters, and stage acts.
Booths selling goods, gifts, souvenirs, or packaged products.
Flea market, swap meet, and estate dealers selling from a booth.
Boutique, vintage, and apparel vendors working your market.
Handmade goods, art, jewelry, candles, and maker booths.
Rentals, staffing, inflatables, photo booths, and setup crews.
Host something that isn't on this list? Tell us on the set-up form and we'll confirm whether it's eligible.
Each vendor is named on their own policy and the park system is named as additional insured — so one vendor's claim stays with that vendor.

Frequently asked questions
Can a state agency be named as additional insured?
Yes, with the exact legal name and address the agency specifies, applied to each policy bought through the link.
Does this work for recurring outfitter permits?
Yes. An outfitter operating through a season is usually better served by an annual policy, and the link offers that alongside short-term event coverage.
Can a wedding permit holder use the same link?
Yes. A one-day event policy for a ceremony at a park site works through the same link as any other special-use permit.
What does the link cost us?
Nothing. Set-up is free and the renter or vendor pays for their own policy.
Is everything eligible?
No. Coverage is subject to the carrier's eligibility rules, and some events and activities can't be written. Your link tells someone up front if they don't qualify, so nobody shows up thinking they're covered.
