DPR’s booking guide explains the rolling reservation window, separate site and transaction fees, contact hours and selected reservation drawings. It does not show guaranteed inventory or a universal nightly price.
Standard ReserveCalifornia booking window; selected drawings have a separate process
The standard rolling window opens up to six months before arrival, with daily releases at 8 a.m. (the guide labels this PST).
Read DPR’s current accommodation policies before booking, cancelling or changing a reservation. Accessible overnight facilities have specific proof and occupancy rules; disability documentation alone does not establish a discount.
DPR’s conditional same-day accessible-site release; no current availability claimed
Unoccupied accessible overnight facilities are held for people with disabilities until 5 p.m. each day.
