The new 2022 version of reservecalifornia is terrible. I have been booking campsites for 20 years and it's never been great, but this is truly useless. Please restore the ability to look at the 2 week reservations.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I have been camping at South Carlsbad State Beach for more than 10 years. On this "updated" Reserve California website, I cannot even enter the date I want to arrive until close to 9:00, which is way past 8:00. I was able to enter the correct date once, but then the system glitched and threw me out. Then the spots are gone. I don't think this is people moving reservations dates either. I think there is some sort of corruption going on. Also, my husband has made the same observation as others I just read. Many empty sites when we were there the last two years. I'm starting to look into private campgrounds, but there just aren't as many on the beach.

I wouldn't even give this site a 1 rating. Site is glitchy, kicks you out right when you start to book and all around garbage. Ruining the camping experience for everyone.

website is trash... no words to describe the amount of frustration just to book anything. who is the moron at reservecalifornia that thinks filling the website with nonsense icons and scripts would make it better?...it has become a worthless website. I have more chances of becoming governor of CA than getting a campsite thru this website.

Been camping at the same spot for 30 years, until ReserveCalifornia took over the booking. Now its impossible to reserve anything. You can't even put in the dates you want. How hard is it to find a company in California that can handle a broken website?! All the reviews on here are true. Its very sad. When is this going to be fixed?!

Because of Reserve California camping in the state park system has become almost impossible. People will reserve campsites all over the state and then cancel just before to get a refund if they decide not to go or just eat the $(people are also selling spots like scalped baseball tickets). The few times we have been able to get a spot there were dozens of empty sites with reserved tickets on them, usually the best sites in the park…Reserve California has ruined camping for the state park system and the people who actually want to use the campgrounds. Not only that their customer service is the worst I have ever experienced.

reservation fees. cancellation fees. fees. fees. fees. That's how the system is run folks. Camp for $50 a night and pay $15 for 6 pieces of firewood. I recommend if you're looking for a bad experience.

Lived in CA all my life. I can't even take my family camping in a state park anymore due to online reservation system. It's really sad. We have a 27ft trailer, so that already restricts us to what spots we can fit in and good luck getting those even while attempting 6mos to the second on the botched reservation site "reserve california". You'd have a better chance winning the lottery. Thank goodness we're 1000 Trails members through my in-laws. Always a spot there when I need it for a fallback plan.
