PIERRE, S.D. - South Dakota state park campers can make reservations for Memorial Day weekend, beginning Feb. 27, for Friday, May 28 arrivals.
"Memorial Day weekend is very busy in all the parks," said state Division of Parks and Recreation Director Doug Hofer. "Campers should plan ahead to reserve their favorite camping spots."
A three-night stay is required during holiday weekends at all state parks except Custer State Park. Reservations are currently being accepted for the entire camping season for campsites in Custer State Park and lodges in all state parks and recreation areas.
Reservations can be made online at www.campsd.com or by calling 1-800-710-CAMP (2267). The telephone reservation center is open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Central Time). Online reservations may be made 24 hours a day, though campsites do not become available until 7 a.m. on the first day of the 90-day window. There is a $7.70 per site non-refundable reservation fee, which does not apply to South Dakota residents. Daily or annual park entrance licenses are required of all vehicles entering the parks. Entrance fees are in addition to camping fees.
More information on reservations, including the full 90-day window calendar, can be found online at www.sdparks.info. Call 605-773-3391 for more information.
