I have to side with imabadboy99 here.
The National Park Service can refuse admittance to the park before any "debt" is incurred.
Regards,
If you “offer” goods or services for sale to the public and the public agrees to buy it then a contract to owe a debt for said products or services has occurred. The definition of “debt” is always the same and is not flexible or interpretive. Forms of payment other than cash (legal tender) do not hold this same weight because they do not have the disclaimer of “debts, public and private” as legal tender and can be refused.
“Legal tender” is anything recognized by law as a means to settle a public or private debt or meet a financial obligation, including tax payments, contracts, and legal fines or damages. The national currency is legal tender in practically every country. A creditor is legally obligated to accept legal tender toward repayment of a debt.”
“By default (and design), legal tender laws prevent the widespread adoption of anything other than the existing legal tender as money in the economy. A check, or a credit swipe, is not legal tender; it functions as a money substitute and merely represents a means by which the holder of the check can eventually receive legal tender for the debt.”

Federal parks are another whole ballgame...
The park is public property not private property. If they refuse to let one person in they have to close and refuse to let ANYONE in. They cannot be selective. If they are open they have to accommodate everyone unless a codified law is broken requiring their removal. It they allow entry for one form of payment they have to allow entry for all types of payment or close it completely.
All or nothing.
I am starting to have issues with those who actually believe the communist lie that federal parks belong to the government and has private property rights, they do not, they are only care takers who work for us the people. This is the hidden secret with the Jan 6 mess. The capital doesn’t belong to them, it is public property and belongs to the people. We just allow to let them use it. You cannot be charged for trespassing on your own property.
