We had dinner yesterday with friends who were camped at El Capitan State Beach north of Santa Barbara, CA. The weather was beautiful and, more importantly, there were a whole lot of open sites. Wish we had gone with them, but they had made reservations six months ago and we assumed the campground would be full. The park ranger said it would be full by Friday and over the weekend. But, at that moment it was nearly empty. Something to keep in mind for next year at this time
El Capitan is a great spot. Here is my pet peeve about reservations in Calif. state parks for RV's and this especially true in Oregon. People who only have weekends to RV deserve the right to reserve just for the weekends but those of us who are not limited by weekends run into the same problem---- you can stay only from Mon. through Fri. and then have to move on to find another RV park. I think that all state parks for RV's should have to keep 10% of the total sites open to only RVers who can reserve longer than just Fri -Sun. Just my 2 cents. Oregon in the summer months is almost impossible to reserve sites because of the "week end" Rvers. Whats your opinion?????
