It's still winter, but people can begin making reservations at North Dakota's state parks.
Full services at state parks begin on Friday, May 15. The Parks and Recreation Department says the 95-day reservation window enables visitors to ensure they have a campsite when they arrive.
Reservations may be made for May 15 through Sept. 7, except at Fort Ransom State Park, which will have reserved sites available through Sept. 27. Stays are limited to 14 consecutive days unless otherwise noted
All campsites at Grahams Island, Fort Abraham Lincoln and Lake Metigoshe state parks can be reserved. The rest of the state parks will continue to offer about half of their sites for reservation and half on a first-come, first-served basis.
