California may try to help…Check this out: ktla.com/news/california/california-campsite-reservation-bill-passes-state-assembly/
- Credit if you cancel before seven days. And if you don’t show on the first night, the whole reservation is cancelled and the site opened up.

Oct 12, 2023 at 7:55 am #3790891It is now law! https://www.sfgate.com/california-parks/article/california-law-harsher-penalty-campsite-no-show-18418167.php
Best news is that if you fail to use a campsite and fail to notify them about it, you won’t be allowed to make future reservations until you resolve the issue. This should help!
Oct 13, 2023 at 12:44 am #3790949Sounds like they’re pretty lenient regarding that – you’re only blocked from reserving after 3 no-shows. But better than nothing.
Oct 13, 2023 at 6:50 am #3790953It’s not a perfect solution but it’s SOMETHING, and I applaud them for taking a step in the right direction. We need to roll out this policy on a national level.
