• Checkout time for campsites is 4 p.m. or noon at Custer State Park
• Campsite reservations are accepted within 90 days of your arrival (except at Custer State Park where reservations open January 2 for the entire year).
• Entrance licenses and camping fees are required year-round
• Self-registration may be required
• Some camping fees reduced in winter when water systems are shut down
• A three-night stay is required for campsites and camping cabins on holiday weekends at all parks except Custer, which does not require a minimum stay.

*A camping unit is a vehicle, motor home, camping bus, pull-type camper, tent or any other device designed for sleeping. Additional tents for a family (parents or grandparents and their unmarried minor children) are considered a single camping unit. Not all sites are designated as double-ups (check with park staff).
