California State park without reservations
After searching through the California State park camping sites they make it sound like without reservations you would be turned away, even if there are spaces available. Is this really the case? ...

YES. Depending on the park most find nothing available without a reservation. Especially parks in destination areas, the beach, the mountains, rivers. You may find spots in less traveled areas, like the deserts and some of the inland historic parks. There are just too few sites and too many campers. We do not even try to use the State park system, rather we prefer to frequent the many private campgrounds in destination areas. With the new fees the State charges for campsites the private parks have become extremely competitive.
