Camping in California? Maybe, maybe not

The Governor’s Office announced that all parks will remain open under this year’s budget cut of $14 million. All parks are open for day use and all but 23 camping parks are available for camping on a first-come-first-served basis. The 23 listed below are accepting reservations.

Camping reservations will resume after it is determined how best to operate with a $14 million cut. It will mean a reduction in services. It is possible that some parks and some campgrounds could be closed certain days of the week when there are fewer visitors. The seasonal schedule could change or the number of campsites might be reduced.

The following currently applies to camping parks not shown on the list.

  • Existing reservations will be honored.
  • New reservations are not being made for any time period.
  • Unlisted parks – those that are normally open for camping this time of year – will be available on a first-come-first-served basis. To learn which are normally open this time of year, see the Camping Reservation Guide at 2009 Camping Reservation Guide (pdf).

    If you really had a year, it would be best to camp the southern part of the state in the winter and hit northern California in the summer.

    It would be fun to check off all the California parks and the National Parks.
