Summer is underway, and South Dakota’s state parks are seeing some optimistic signs of a good season ahead. Game, Fish and Parks Regional Park Supervisor, Jeff Van Meeteren says the cool, damp spring kept visitor numbers relatively low.

Van Meeteren says the past couple of weekends have brought beautiful weather, which has led to higher numbers of campers and visitors.

He says that the GFP is predicting a very good year for parks across the state. For more information about reserving your state park getaway, visit camp SD dot com.
