The National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass is free to permanently disabled Americans.
What is the Access Pass?
A free, lifetime pass - available to U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the United States that have been medically determined to have a permanent disability - that provides access to more than 2,000 recreation sites managed by five Federal agencies.
At many sites the Access Pass provides the pass owner a discount on Expanded Amenity Fees (such as camping, swimming, boat launching, and guided tours).
My pass gets me through Yosemite National Park, normally a $20 fee for free. Apply for yours through this link:

http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/prog/recreation/camping.html Another useful site for camping. BLM has campground in most national forests. Cost to use is very cheap, amenities may be limited. Be advised if you are looking in California Sierras you may have to look in he Carson ,NV site as some of those places are closer to Carson than to parts of CA. Check the state you plan going to first. Many of the BLM places are run by a vendor now so you can book ahead of time. I once got a spot on a lake on the 4th of July at 4pm in the afternoon...cost 14 dollars a night for a tent site. BTW the bear box is there for a reason, the site next to us had their cooler dragged away by a black bear. Location Indian Springs Lake near Marlkeeville, CA

Tremendous camping opportunities can be found on public lands throughout California. These include developed campgrounds, dispersed camping opportunities and long term visitor areas.

This has gotten me half off at BLM campgrounds and I saw half off at Yosemite NP for the First Come first use camp sites. I have had mine now for about three years. We motorcycle the Sierra's and go through YNP to get there. Saves some money on those.
