Several parks implement gate closures after specific evening hours, necessitating entry codes for late arrivals. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with Sanborn County Park reporting minimal coverage. A review mentioned that "the gate closes at 8pm though, so get here earlier." RV dump stations are available at most full-service parks, though Sanborn County Park requires a special access code for dump station use. Pet policies generally allow dogs at most locations, though rules regarding designated areas vary between facilities. Weekends and summer months see higher occupancy rates, particularly at parks closest to Santa Cruz beaches and redwood attractions.
