WASHINGTON — The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission (WSPRC) announced that it will be opening up more camping opportunities for visitors by expanding its same-day reservation option to all parks with reservable campgrounds.
Starting March 24, visitors can secure a campsite the same day instead of going to a park and gambling on a first-come, first-served basis to get a spot.
Campers can book a same-day reservation until 2 p.m. on their intended day of arrival.
This change is specific to campground reservations and does not apply to roofed accommodations, vacation rentals, yurts and day-use facilities like picnic shelters.
First come, first served camping is still available for unreserved sites after 2:30 p.m.
“This system-wide improvement will provide more opportunities for more campers to experience a night in a state park, and it will improve the experience for day-of planners. Additionally, this change will help the agency fill sites with last-minute cancellations,” WSPRC said.
