At this time, 28 state park units (see list below) have limited campground availability until June 21, 2020.
Those in bold are our local campgrounds.
The State of California recognizes the benefits of the outdoors during this challenging time of COVID-19. As such, State Parks is working with local officials on a phased and regionally-driven approach to increase access at park units where compliance with state and local public health ordinances can be achieved. To date, limited public parking is available at 164 park units and 21 park units remain temporarily fully closed.
Some campgrounds have started to reopen with modifications using this phased and regionally driven approach. State Parks is working with local health agencies across the state to determine when campgrounds may reopen and whether they can open at full or reduced capacity.
At this time, 28 state park units (see list) have limited campground availability until June 21, 2020. Visitors with existing campground reservations for June 22 or later will be notified via email in the case that their reservation must be cancelled in compliance with local and public health orders.
The stay-at-home modifications do not mean things are going back to normal. Governor Newsom’s Stay-at-Home Order asks Californians to stay close to home, maintain physical distancing and avoid congregating with others outside their immediate household. The operations of the park system have been modified to provide an outdoor experience that reduces the risk of exposure to COVID-19 and modifications at each park may vary. Consequently, the public is advised to plan ahead—check the webpage of their local outdoor destination before leaving home to find out if it is open, what new guidelines are in effect and if parking is available.
Guided tours, many campgrounds, and indoor facilities like museums and visitor centers remain closed until further notice to prevent overcrowding and maintain physical distancing.
For more than 150 years, State Parks has provided opportunities for people from all over the world to connect with families, friends and communities in the nation’s largest state park system. This is the first time in the history of State Parks where safety measures such as vehicular access closures, full closures and cancellation of reservations have been implemented at this large of scale and in response to a pandemic.
State Parks thanks visitors for their partnership as we collectively enable responsible recreation that protects the health of visitors and the dedicated parks staff.
