About California State Parks
California Department of Parks and Recreation manages more than 270 park units, many of which are located in Northern California and contain some of the most diverse collections of natural, cultural, and recreational resources to be found within California. These treasures are as diverse as California: From the last stands of primeval redwood forests to vast expanses of fragile desert; from the lofty Sierra Nevada to the broad sandy beaches of the Northern California coast.
California State Parks contains the largest and most diverse natural and cultural heritage holdings of any state agency in the nation. State park units include underwater preserves, reserves, and parks; redwood, rhododendron, and wildlife reserves; state beaches, recreation areas, wilderness areas, and reservoirs; state historic parks, historic homes, visitor centers, cultural reserves, and preserves; as well as lighthouses, ghost towns, waterslides, conference centers, and off-highway vehicle parks.
These parks protect and preserve an unparalleled collection of culturally and environmentally sensitive structures and habitats, threatened plant and animal species, ancient Native American sites, historic structures and artifacts . . . the best of California's natural and cultural history.
Responsible for almost one-third of California's scenic coastline, California State Parks manages the state's finest coastal wetlands, estuaries, beaches, and dune systems. Our workplace consists of nearly 1.4 million acres, with over 280 miles of coastline; 625 miles of lake and river frontage; nearly 15,000 campsites; and 3,000 miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails.
General Guidelines To State Park Camping & Recreation:Below is a general guideline to recreation within the California State Parks system. Some locations' rules may vary somewhat, so be sure to check specific park rules if you have concerns about such things as whether or not dogs are allowed, number of campers allowed and availability of sites before you go.Checking InYou may check in to your campsite any time after 2 pm on your reservation start date. When you arrive, present your reservation voucher or confirmation number and a form of photo identification.If you arranged for a discount when you made your reservation, proof of eligibility must be shown at this time. Campsite assignments are made upon your arrival unless your reservation is in a site specific park. If you reserve 2 sites in a non site specific park, the park staff will try to assign adjacent campsites, subject to availability. Dogs must be kept on leashes no longer than 6' and in a tent or enclosed vehicle at night. Except for guide dogs, pets are not allowed in park buildings, on trails, or on most beaches. Check out by noon on your departure date. Please leave the campsite in good condition. The camper who follows you will appreciate it. Family CampingFamily campsites accommodate up to 8 people. They are developed campsites with amenities that vary from park to park, and may include fire pits or fire rings, picnic tables, showers, a water supply, and a cleared area for your tent.Each campground has a limit on the consecutive number of nights a camper may stay. Once this consecutive night limit has been reached, the campground must be vacated, and no one in the party may return to camp in the same park for 48 hours.
A parent or guardian must
accompany youths under 18 years of age. The Supervising
Ranger may approve the stay of a youth that presents
written consent from the parent or guardian that
states the dates of the authorized stay and the
park name. A maximum of 2 licensed vehicles/autos, travel, boat, and utility trailers-may be parked at most campsites. Campers may stay in the same park up to 30 nights in a calendar year. Group CampingGroup campsites accommodate groups as small as 9 or as large as 100, depending on the park. At some campgrounds, group sites can be combined for larger groups. Your reservation agent can help you with names and locations of these campgrounds.Youth groups (under 18 years of age) must be accompanied by at least 1 adult for every 15 youths. Stays are limited to 7 nights. Environmental CampingEnvironmental campsites are located in relatively undisturbed natural settings.
