Campers are frustrated with the current system, where sites are hard to nab but campgrounds have unused, empty spots.

Campers enjoy their beachfront camping spots at Doheny State Beach Camp Ground in Dana Point on Wednesday, October 25, 2023. Gov. Newsom signed Assembly Bill 618 that will amend the state’s campsite reservation system to deter cancellations and no-shows. The new law starts Jan. 1, 2024. Try to nab an online reservation at a popular State Park campsite and you might be discouraged to see all the spots are gobbled up.

Campers enjoy their beachfront camping spot at Doheny State Beach Camp Ground in Dana Point on Wednesday, October 25, 2023. Gov. Newsom signed Assembly Bill 618 that will amend the state’s campsite reservation system to deter cancellations and no-shows. The new law starts Jan. 1, 2024. Since the pandemic, getting outdoors and camping have become even more popular pastimes throughout the state. A campsite and park in Humboldt County that was typically getting 100,000 visitors a year, for example, now gets 600,000 people visiting, he said.

A reservation holder who cancels a reservation within two to six days before the reservation start date will have to forfeit the cost of the reservation for the first night, plus any reservation fees. The parks department may restrict a person from reserving a site for more than seven consecutive nights during peak season if the person has occupied the same campsite proposed for reservation for more than 30 days in a calendar year, or if they fail to show up for at least three reservations made online in one calendar year.

At Doheny State Beach in Dana Point on a recent day, campers expressed frustration about the reservation system.
