California state parks are adopting a lottery system for campsite reservations at Malibu Creek, Morro Bay, and McArthur-Burney Falls. This initiative starts with Malibu Creek, allowing entries for campsite reservations eight months in advance. Drawings will take place seven months before the reservation dates, ensuring that winners can confirm their bookings within thirty days. The system aims to address the issue of rapid sell-outs, providing more equitable access to these popular campgrounds, while streamlining reservation processes and enhancing visitor information on availability.
