I don't know about you but I am so ready for some summer state park camping. South Dakota has over 50 state parks and recreation areas that offer camping.

In those 50 South Dakota State Parks, there are some great campsites and cabins for individuals, couples, and families. And no matter if your plans are a one-night stay or week-long vacation if you are going to reserve a space you had better plan ahead because sites go fast.

You especially need to get your reservations early for holiday weekend camping. If you want to enjoy a getaway at one of South Dakota's state parks over the 4th of July weekend they will be opening reservations on Saturday, April 3, 2021. And that is for a Friday, July 2 arrival.

You can get your reservations online at www.campsd.com or call 1-800-710-2267.
Reservations open at 7 a.m. Central Time for all facilities on the 90-day reservation window. Modern lodging and all accommodations at Custer State Park accept reservations one year before arrival.
