Why it's hard to book

Ten cabins on a Marin bluff. One hundred thousand people trying to get in.

Steep Ravine's 10 rustic wood cabins perch on a Pacific Ocean bluff in Marin County — no electricity, no running water, just raw coastline and some of the most dramatic sunsets in Northern California. Every fall, California State Parks runs a lottery for the following year's reservations. Over 100,000 people enter. Ten win.

After the lottery, any unused or cancelled reservations re-enter the general pool on ReserveCalifornia the following morning at 8 am. CampWatch monitors every cancellation and emails you the instant one opens up — turning a 1-in-10,000 shot into something you can actually plan around.

No refreshing. No luck required. Just a monitor running while you sleep.
