Tips for Booking California Campsites

Be Ready at Release Time

Popular sites like those in Yosemite Valley or Big Sur book within seconds of release. Log in to your account beforehand, have your dates selected, and refresh right at release time.

Watch for Cancellations

Many campers cancel closer to their trip date. Use Campsite Tonight to monitor for cancellations and get instant alerts when sites open up, even at fully-booked campgrounds.

Try Weekday Stays

Weekend spots fill up fastest. Sunday through Thursday nights often have better availability, especially at popular parks during peak season.

Consider Shoulder Season

Spring and fall offer excellent camping weather with significantly better availability. Many California campgrounds are open year-round.

Times are shown in Pacific Time. Sites become available for booking exactly at 8:00 AM PT.
