Booking and Fees

Reservations can be booked upon arrival at the park (depending on availability) or up to six months in advance of the arrival date on a rolling window. Inventory becomes available on ReserveCalifornia.com, State Parks’ official reservation service, each day at 8 a.m. PST. Reservations can be made at most state parks until two days prior to the planned arrival, subject to availability. A limited number of state parks offer same-day reservations. As they are subject to change, we recommend reviewing the reservations policies prior to booking.

California State Parks Site Fees

To help keep your state parks safe, clean and open for everyone to enjoy, California State Parks charges site fees for camping and lodging. Amounts vary based on the accommodation type and the amenities available at that park.

Payment entitles the reservation holder to the use of the campsite or lodging and includes entry for one vehicle and one legally towed vehicle or trailer. Additional vehicles will be charged per night at the park. Although a site may hold two or more vehicles, a reservation only covers one vehicle (except for group or specialty sites). 

Fees support essential services like clean restrooms, walkable trails, protected wildlife habitats and inclusive experiences throughout the California State Park System. When you pay a fee to enjoy a state park, you’re investing in its care and future. Thank you for supporting your California state parks for generations to come!
