California State Parks
New Reservation System
Dear Outdoor Enthusiast:

We’re launching a new state park reservation system on August 1, 2017 ‐ ‐ ReserveCalifornia™ ‐ ‐ to provide user‐friendly web services and greater accessibility to more visitors for the highly sought-after camping and lodging locations. California State Parks appreciates the support of our reservation provider for the past decade, ReserveAmerica, as we transition to our new vendor.

A variety of new features will be phased‐in between August 1 and March 1, 2018, including moving from first‐of‐the‐month on‐sale days to a new rolling window reservation service.

Below is the breakdown of the features and key important dates:

July 26, 2017 beginning at Midnight

Website and telephone reservations for California's state parks will be temporarily offline to prepare the exciting launch of the new system on August 1. During this time, all existing reservations will be honored.

August 1, 2017
The new system ‐‐ ReserveCalifornia™ ‐‐ goes live!
