Fees
California State Parks (ReserveCalifornia.com) does not publish one statewide nightly rate schedule; its own Booking and Fees page states rates 'vary based on the accommodation type and the amenities available at that park' and are posted per-park at booking time. A non-refundable $8.25 reservation fee (also $8.25 to modify or cancel) applies per ReserveCalifornia transaction, on top of the site's nightly rate. Fees include entry for one vehicle and one legally towed vehicle/trailer; additional vehicles are charged per-night at the park. Yes: Dogs allowed only in parking lot, paved roadway, campgrounds. Dogs not allowed on trails or day-use areas.
California State Parks states no statewide camping season; each park's page states its own. Reservations run May 15 to September 11 on reservecalifornia.com, the reservable season. Castle Crags is open for camping on a first-come-first-serve basis. Day-use hours are from 8 AM until sunset. Self-Registration is required. Rangers will verify payment. The park's status line on November 3, 2026, outside the reservable season, says camping is open first-come, first-served with self-registration.
