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.

California Parks need to address the professionalism of Reserve California, there is something fishy going on. Spots show up as available then prior to 8 the next morning they are gone. Same excuse every time someone extended. That is an untrue reason and someone needs to look into this. We have been booking spots for 30 years. This is the most blatant fraud we have seen. Get rid of Reserve California or check into their system California!

Having to wake up every morning before 8 am sucks especially when you end up not getting any reservation for the campsite you want. You will have to wake up the next day to try again. The once a month opening is better. It gives you a better chance. I agree with everyone ....Reserve California fix this mess!

I've been reserving several campsites a year for more than 25 years. Reserve California started out bad, and each year it gets worse. It is now virtually impossible to book any popular sites. I don't know how anyone could be doing it more quickly than me, so I have to think there is some inside funny business going on. But let's get specific. Every browser is a different experience. Some show you a clock, but not always. Some let you refresh and stay on the spot you are looking for, but not always. At other times a refresh brings you to the top of the list. If you have to scroll down, you've missed the boat. Sometimes when you refresh at 8AM it hangs up for 10+ seconds - leaving you out of luck. Sometimes you are required to re-do the Captcha verification after you select a spot - rendering you totally out of contention. The State Park system collects so much money (premium sites are $60+ per night). They should be able to pay for a decent interface. I know how government contracts work. They have to give the contract to the lowest bidder. Often that is a small, barely qualified company. I believe that is what happened a few years ago when we ended up in this nightmare. CALIFORNIA STATE PARK SYSTEM -- FIX THIS! I'm about to give up entirely. Every day is another exercise in frustration. I know that more people are camping now due to COVID, but is it 10X more? I doubt it.

"403 Forbidden" all the time Reserve America never let me down. Went from a rolling month 2 years ago to a rolling DAY also. This is ridiculous!
