 dog days of summer and just enjoy the outdoors most of our campgrounds are are near water with beach access and and a lot of them have uh you know a lot of trees for shade so there's plenty of opportunities to beat the heat out of the campgrounds too and and with state parks located all around the state there's there's never a camping opportunity that's too far away so um these dog days of summer are also an important time for a year for our wildlife here in south dakota
