Reservation forms are now available from State Park System units and at state office buildings in major cities throughout California. Forms and information may also be obtained by writing the State Department of Parks and Recreation, P.O: Box 2390, Sacramento 95811. In the Los Angeles area, forms may be obtained from the State Department of Parks and Recreation, 14253 Sunset Boulevard, Pacific Palisades 90272, telephone 4547323. To make reservations, campers should submit the full camping fee plus. a $1 reservation charge at the time of the application, : The parks are accepting applications, ‘ Reservations may not be made in person at the parks until after February 28, Mott noted. This is to give equal opportunity to all applicants, no matter how far they live from the park where they wish to camp. Mott urged campers to mail in the forms as early as possible, to insure availability of space on their preferred dates. Last year one park had all its Easter week camp spots reserved by January 7, and key weekends and popular vacation times were heavily in demand at many parks, Over 50,000 reservations were made last year, when the * program was begun experimentally to help solve the turnaway problem. At Southern California beaches turnaways had been particularly acute, with campers often waiting vainly in line for long periods in hope of a vacancy, Reaction to the new reservation system was overwhelmingly favorable, Mott said, and even more campers are expected to take advantage of the program this year.
