Planning Ahead for Camping Reservations
Making reservations for camping in California requires careful planning well in advance, as many spots open up six months before the desired date. This time frame can seem counterintuitive, especially during winter months when thoughts of summer camping may not be foremost in mind. However, campers who take the time to secure their spots early can benefit from increasing availability before the rush. As the competition among campers intensifies, those who are proactive in their planning often have a better chance of reserving their ideal campsite.
