California

Plan your stay in California

Start with a park, then choose the exact campground or area you want. The listings below show the locations in our catalog. These counts describe coverage; they do not count vacant campsites.

Open a listing to see whether you can create an alert or request coverage. For an alert, choose your arrival date, departure date, and notification channel. A shorter stay or another nearby park may give you more options when your first choice is full.

When a notice arrives, check the whole stay and your equipment on the official booking site. You complete the reservation there. Availability can change between a check and your booking, and an alert does not hold a site.
