A person shall reserve a campsite prior to occupying the site in the park. A reservation may be placed either online or by calling the park reservation center. At campgrounds using a self-registration system, the department shall post camping fees and provide registration forms for campers to complete. Each person shall insert the correct fee in the envelope provided with the form and insert the envelope in the security box provided. The person shall display the provided registration slip on a provided site post or in a conspicuous place.

Any person desiring to extend occupancy of a site beyond the nights for which the camper unit is paid, up to the limits set in § 41:03:01:15, may extend the reservation by 4:00 p.m. on the last day of the reservation and pay the camping fees for any additional nights, only if the site is available for the duration of the extended stay, except at Custer State Park where a person shall extend the reservation by 12:00 p.m. on the last day of the reservation. A person staying on a same-day reservation site located at Center Lake in Custer State Park and the Yankton section of Lewis and Clark Recreation Area shall extend the reservation prior to 12:00 AM (midnight) on the last registered night's stay.

Any person registered for a designated first come, first served site at any state park and recreation area shall place a camping unit on the campsite immediately following registration.

Any person with a same-day campsite reservation shall place a camping unit on the campsite by 10 p.m. of the first night of the reservation unless an alternate arrangement is made with park staff. If the person fails to place a camping unit on the site, the person may be charged a cancellation fee and forfeit the remainder of the reservation.
