Reserved Sites will be held until checkout (NOON) the day following your arrival date. Sites must be occupied by the checkout time of the second day to hold a reservation, or the site will be forfeited and released for other guests. Please call the office at 760-932-7092 if you need to inform the campground of an arrival time greater than 24 hours after your arrival date, or if you will not use your reservation whatsoever.

Once your reservation start date has begun, neither Recreation.gov contact center nor the Camp Host or Campground manager will be able to modify your reservation. If you no longer want the site you have reserved you will need to cancel that reservation and pay for the site you prefer. There is no exchanging of sites.

This campground has a combination of reservation and first-come, first-served sites. First come first serve sites are available for campers as they become vacant, there is no guarantee. A site may only be occupied when you are physically present and ready to camp and payment has been made. Sites cannot be held for future arriving campers.
