Nothing to book until it reopens

Cedar Camp Campground Closure.

The closure above is the reading. We hold no availability snapshot for this campground, so there’s no thirty-night strip to draw under it.

Watch for it to come back

One email when the agency reopens it, plus More Than Just Parks dispatches. Unsubscribe any time.

We check the agency’s own record once an hour, at 40 minutes past, and write the first time it stops saying closed.

Scanners that check every few minutes exist, and most of them charge. This one is free, it reads the same calendar, and it won’t always be first.

We’ll write once, when the agency reopens it.

Free forever, no booking kickbacks.

Who answers for this land

Cedar Camp Campground is in California’s 1st congressional district. Whoever holds it votes on the laws that decide what happens to this land. See how its representative votes on public lands →

Our roster still carries Doug LaMalfa for this district and the current federal record doesn’t list them as sitting, so we’re not naming a representative here until the two agree.

How we know

every fact on this page, and where it came from
Right now: U.S. Forest Service’s own notice puts it in the closed position. Its sentence is quoted below.
Cell signal: the Forest Service’s own campground description, read as text by CAMPANAC. None of this is a measurement. It’s what the land manager published about the place, and phones, carriers and weather all disagree with each other; treat it as a warning, not a promise.
Nearest place of any size: Lodoga, CA, 9.6 mi WSW (a census designated place). Straight line.
