Tomorrow (Feb. 20) is the first day people can make camping reservations for the Game, Fish and Parks’ Open House and Free Fishing Weekend (May 21-23, 2021).
Reservations for other summer dates will follow in succession, becoming available 90 days before arrival. More than 40 parks offer camping reservations on the 90-day schedule. The exception is Custer State Park, which offers reservations one year before arrival.
State Parks Director Scott Simpson reminds new and seasoned campers to keep an eye on the calendar and make reservations for camping trips as soon as possible. He says the sooner you can plan your camping trip, the better, because campsites at popular parks go quickly.
Note the following reservation dates for popular summer camping weekends. Reservations dates are for a Friday arrival:
-
Memorial Day: February 27
-
Father’s Day: March 20
-
Fourth of July: April 3
-
Labor Day: June 5
Campsites become available at 7am Central Time on the first day of the 90-day window, but reservations for available campsites can be made until the day you arrive. The 90-day window calendar can be found online at campsd.com.
Reservations can be made 24 hours a day, both online and by calling 1.800.710.2267. Taxes and reservation fees may apply.
