ND Parks Now Accepting Reservations

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — People who enjoy North Dakota's state parks can begin making reservations.

The Parks and Recreation Department began taking reservations at 7 a.m. Tuesday. Full services at state parks begin on May 16, and officials say the 95-day reservation window enables visitors to ensure they have a campsite when they arrive.

Reservations can be made online at any time of the day or night, though the website www.parkrec.nd.gov . The department's toll-free number, 1-800-807-4723, can be used from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central time daily.

Reservations may be made for May 16 through Sept. 1, except at Fort Ransom State Park, which will have reserved sites available through Sept. 28. Stays are limited to 14 consecutive days unless otherwise noted.
