South Dakota State Parks Reservations For Memorial Weekend

South Dakota has some of the best State Parks in the nation. I've camped in these campgrounds all across the state. The key is to get your site or cabin reserved as soon as possible to get that perfect spot.

If you are looking for camping options on Memorial Day Weekend reservations are about to open up. Feb. 27 is the first day to make campsite and camping cabin reservations for a Friday, May 28 arrival, which is Memorial Day Weekend.

Reservations open at 7:00 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.
