Is Rincon Parkway, Ventura CA starting reservations?

Heard a rumor that Ventura County parks is going to switch from first come basis to reservations, any truth to the rumor? I don't see how they can with their site parking along PCH and no kiosk or camp hosts. They would probably have to increase fee and have some way to monitor those occupying the sites 24/7. ???????

    Weekends are usually full except in the dead of winter. Spots still available for the first weekend in November online.
    Not sure how this will play out with such a stiff cancellation policy. I figure most will wait until a week or so before going and make a reservation then. Curious to see how it's handled when we arrive and find someone in our reserved spot. Are we to double park in the bike lane while waiting for a ranger or sheriff to arrive, and will they ticket and tow? Imagine arriving and finding a 5er in your spot and no one around. Going to be interesting, that's for sure.
  • Still can't figure why people like it there. Granted right on the ocean but the noise at night is terrible between the trains and traffic on old 101.Sure isn't my cup of tea.

    You're right, but it's close for us and has a million dollar view and now we can get a site in the summer. Not for everyone like Quartzsite for sure.
