The DNR is rolling out the State Park Reservation system over an 8 day period starting Thursday. Here you go! (lets hope we don't crash it again!)

After the online system was overloaded and crashed March 1, the DNR is taking a conservative approach so the system does not have to handle the entire inventory of campsites and cabins at once. It also ensures all customers have an equal opportunity to make reservations.

Reservations can be made online, or by calling 866-857-2757 (TTY 952-936-4008).

Phone and online reservations will be accepted according to the following schedule:

Thursday, March 22 – reservations for arrival dates through April 21, 2012.

Friday, March 23, through Sunday, March 25 – reservations for arrival dates through May 12, 2012.

Monday, March 26 – reservations for arrival dates through June 2, 2012.

Tuesday, March 27 – reservations for arrival dates through June 30, 2012.

Wednesday, March 28 – reservations for arrival dates through July 21, 2012.

Thursday, March 29 – reservations for arrival dates through Aug. 11, 2012.

Friday, March 30, through Sunday, April 1 – reservations for arrival dates through
Sept. 2, 2012.

Monday, April 2 – reservations for arrival dates up to a year in advance.

Customer service hours have been extended at the Minnesota-based reservation call center. Starting Thursday, operators will assist callers from 10 a.m. to midnight. From Friday, March 23 to April 2, call center hours are 8 a.m. to midnight.
From April 3 to Oct. 31, calls will be taken 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily (except holidays).
