Unseasonably warm weather has people in the camping mood a little early this year in South Dakota. And with 80 degree days in March, campers have already been spending their weekends in the parks.
Campgrounds in southeastern South Dakota are seeing record numbers of campers. "In 11 years at the park, I have never seen a busier March," said Shane Bertsch, park supervisor at Lewis and Clark Recreation Area in Yankton.
Nice weather is allowing state parks to open comfort stations and dump stations earlier this year, drawing in even more campers.
