Lance Campers

Camping is an outdoor activity. This implies going into the nature, travel without custom facilities. Thirty-nine state parks and historic sites offer camping opportunities to suit everyone's needs, from primitive walk-in sites to sites with hookups for water, electricity and sewer. Nearly all state park campgrounds are open year-round.

Electric hook-ups are available year-round, while water and showers are usually available from April 1 through Oct. 31 (on-season) in most state parks. A two-night minimum stay on the weekend (Friday and Saturday) is required at most state parks. Camping is limited to any 15 days within a 30-consecutive-day period at any one park. Many parks contain rules and policies that are specific to the individual park and its resources.

Firewood is available for sale at designated times at most state parks, or you may bring your own. Gathering firewood is strictly prohibited. Citizens who are 65 years of age or older or persons with disabilities are entitled to a reduced camping fee. An official document such as a driver's license certifying proof of age or disability must be presented when registering.
