California State Parks wants to thank our park visitors for helping us keep our parks and environment clean. In 2018, State Parks installed new RV dump station collection systems at ten state park units as part of a pilot program to help us protect the environment and are added amenities for our visitors. 

Following the success of the initial pilot program in 2018, an additional eleven park units have been added to the program.  The service is available for campers, day-use or transient visitors for $10-$20 per use, depending on the location. Please note that visitors with current reservations arriving on or after April 13, 2021, who are interested in using the RV dump stations may be required to pay the use fee. The price per campsite for these state parks does not include the use of a dump station.  View the following link:  Camping Information

Dogs are NOT allowed on trails or fire roads except for the paved Cuyamaca Peak fire road.  Dogs must be on a leash and controlled by their owner.

Thank you for your patience as we finalize the 2026 inventory. Please continue to check back. We will be releasing the inventory as soon as it becomes available.

(For campsites, cabins, and horse sites--not group sites):  Your campsite has a max vehicle capacity of 2 vehicles, which means these vehicles would have been issued license plates.  Any vehicle with an affixed license plate (motor home, trailer, ATV, etc.) counts towards your max vehicle site limitation.
