Shorter camping and lodging reservations window
We heard your suggestions. Effective July 1, 2020, Minnesota state park camping and lodging reservations can now be booked 120 days in advance rather than a full year.
Know before you go
1. Plan ahead. Make reservations and buy your permits in advance.
2. Be prepared. Bring your own toilet paper, soap and other supplies.
3. Follow rules. Practice social distancing -- even outdoors.
