Book Glamping Spots Up To Six Months Before Your Arrival

If you’re planning a trip, you can book glamping spots up to six months before your arrival at ReserveAmerica.com, which is widely used to book camping and other activities at national and state parks across the U.S., including those outside California. For most California state parks, such as Yosemite, reservations open at 8 a.m. on ReserveCalifornia.com, and spots go quickly, so try to be online right at 8.

Each site has parks with different booking windows, so be sure to check the specific availability of the park you are interested in.

You can also check for cancellations every day at 8 a.m.

Important information for booking glamping accommodations:

• Booking window: You can reserve a spot up to 6 months in advance on a rolling basis. For example, if you want to book for September, you should do so NOW.

• Time: New reservations open every day at 8 a.m. PST.

• Platform: ReserveAmerica.com is the best place to book online.

• Cancellations: Check the system at 8 a.m. for cancellations. Visit the website each day at 8 a.m. to see if any spots have opened up due to cancellations. To increase your chances, refresh the page frequently, as availability updates in real time. There is no waitlist, so it's essential to act quickly once a spot becomes available.

If you need to cancel or change your reservation, refer to the site's specific cancellation and refund policies.

• Typically, cancellations made within a certain period before the arrival date may be subject to a fee, while those made further in advance might be eligible for a full or partial refund. This reassurance allows campers to plan confidently and make adjustments if necessary.

• Some campgrounds have different systems: They may allow booking 5 months out, while others book much closer, such as 2 weeks or 1 week in advance, for specific sites. Check Recreation.gov for specific park details and updates on cancellation policies.

ReserveCalifornia.com lets you book a wide range of glamping accommodations, including yurts, cabins, tent cabins, cottages, and RV campsites. Yurts typically offer a circular, tent-like experience with a sturdy wood frame, often providing a more open, airy space. Cabins, on the other hand, are usually more enclosed and offer greater protection and consistency in amenities like heating or air conditioning, making them ideal for groups seeking a more traditional lodging experience. Tent cabins combine elements of both tents and cabins, offering a semi-rigid structure with basic interiors that appeal to those seeking a rustic yet comfortable stay.

• It's important to note that amenities can vary by park, with certain locations offering additional comforts such as electricity, private bathrooms, or full kitchens. You can find these options at parks like Pfeiffer Big Sur, Bothe-Napa Valley, and Sue-meg State Park (featured image) by searching for lodging on the website. Be sure to check each park listing for specific amenity details to choose the best fit for your needs..

How to get a glamping experience:

1. Find a location: Search for parks that offer yurts, cabins, or tent cabins for a rustic-chic stay.

2. RV camping: If you have your own RV, look for options labelled "RV Camping" or "Campsite with hookups."

3. Book directly: You can make reservations up to 6 months in advance. Highly recommended!  To secure your booking quickly, especially when spots fill fast, have your identification, payment information, and preferred dates ready before starting the reservation process.
