We were thinking about camping along the California coast as we drive up from SD to SF.
I know that the chance of finding a vacancy in the summer is non-existant. But I vaguely remember there is some kind of an agency where you can make reservations for overnight camping at various California seashore parks. Does anybody have any idea what I am talking about?

Or were the 60's too good to me again?

Mary,

Here is the website for the California parks: CA Parks.

There is a link here for making reservations, and who knows, even tho it's late in the game, you may get lucky, especially if you're not looking for weekend reservations.

When is your trip?
