With 280 park units across 1.59 million acres, California State Parks contains the largest and most diverse natural and cultural heritage holdings of any state agency in the nation. These parks protect and preserve an unparalleled collection of culturally and environmentally sensitive structures and habitats, threatened plant and animal species, ancient Native American sites, historic structures, and artifacts.

Monterey District has the amazing parks featured in these mobile tours, but also includes Henry Coe State Park which is the largest park in Northern California. The district has coastal beaches starting at Zmudowski State Beach and going south to Monterey State Beach. Fort Ord Dunes State Park alone has 4 miles of shoreline. Visitors can see sea otters, migrating gray whales, and birds at Point Lobos State Natural Reserve. Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park has trails where you can see redwoods, the river, and a waterfall.

If you want to learn about history you can visit several historic units: Monterey State Historic Park, San Juan Bautista State Historic Park, and Point Sur State Historic Park. You may also enjoy a visit to Asilomar State Beach and Conference Grounds and learn about Julia Morgan, California’s first woman architect, who designed many of Asilomar’s Arts and Craft style buildings.

Terrible

Where is south carlsbad state beach? Can I book anything from this app ? Worst app I have ever downloaded.

Very misleading name

The California State Parks official website says there is an official app for the state park system with this name, but the link is broken. Searching for the official app by that name on the App Store brings up this app, but it isn’t even a guide to the state parks, and it’s certainly not an official one. It’s just a few tours of a very limited set of state parks. Worthless.

Worthless app

The real California State Parks app is hosted as a community on OuterSpatial. Visit the California State Parks website to find the link outerspatial.link/csp

Why only the Monterey District?

Make the Reserve California app complete. There is more to California camping than the Monterey District.

Worthless

That was not fun at all. 🚮

After reading such reviews saying how bad this app is, why not get it. How bad can it be? It can be that bad and considering no updates in 4 years, it’s of no use whatsoever. Hey nice of the abandoned app developers. 🗑🗑🚮

Needs work

California should model their app after Colorado’s COTREX. That app is great.

Am I missing something?

Unless someone made a bundle of money by “developing” an app exclusively for the CA State Park System, I see no other reason to have an app that only shows part of the state at a time and is clunkier than Google Maps. I thought maybe they were offering an alternate map with more privacy, but the only clickable links land on... Google Maps! I must be missing something.

California Product

Horrible and useless !!

Horrible!

Why can’t you admit you can’t manage the camping grounds and or the reservation system at least and hand it over to Recreation.gov Don’t waste your time on the app or website. 0/5.
