Campers, Tents cannot be Left Unattended Overnight on WMAs
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department reminds outdoor recreationists that trailers, campers, motor homes or tents cannot be left on state wildlife management areas unless they are used for daily lodging.
Tim Larson, district game warden at Turtle Lake, said he has recently seen some campers and tents left unattended for days on wildlife management areas. “You cannot leave a camper, including a tent, unattended overnight with hopes of reserving a spot several days later, such as for a holiday weekend,” Larson said. “People should understand this may result in a $100 citation.”
In addition, camping for longer than 10 consecutive days on any wildlife management area is prohibited.
A complete list of WMA regulations is available by contacting the Game and Fish Department at 701-328-6300, or e-mail ndgf@nd.gov. WMA use regulations are also available on the Game and Fish website at gf.nd.gov.
