Go to pets in campgrounds for more information. Two state parks offer backpacking, three state parks offer tent camping only, and 50 state parks offer camping for most types of camping equipment. Some campgrounds have electric hookups and showers, while some are primitive. Some campgrounds have walk-in sites to give more privacy. Use the Campground Locations and Facilities page to help you pick the state park campground that is perfect for you.
Most campsites are available through advance reservations.
Although not required, reservations are recommended. Because most campsites are available for reservation, it is important to plan the length of your vacation. On your departure date, you will have the option to lengthen your stay if another party has not reserved your campsite. If someone else has reserved the site, you will have to move to another campsite or if the campground is full you will have to depart as originally planned. Weather permitting, swimming takes place in state parks with beaches and pools from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day.
