SOUTH DAKOTA’S STATE PARKS ARE WAIVING ENTRANCE FEES THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND AS GAS PRICES CONTINUE TO RISE.
STARTING FRIDAY, PLACES LIKE PALISADES STATE PARK NEAR GARRETSON ARE OPENING THEIR GATES AS LOCAL CAMPERS EXPECT TO STAY CLOSER TO HOME SO THEY DON’T HAVE TO SHELL OUT MORE MONEY ON LONGER TRIPS.
PARK RANGERS HOPE TO SEE BIG CROWDS.
OFFICIALS SAY IF GAS PRICES DO NOT COME DOWN, THEY WILL BE RELYING MORE HEAVILY ON LOCAL CAMPERS IF OUT-OF-STATE VISITORS DECLINE.
