The campground operates on a reservation system through ReserveCalifornia, with bookings available up to 6 months in advance. Campers should note that alcoholic beverages are prohibited throughout Mount Diablo State Park. During fire season (generally May to October), the park may be subject to closure due to extreme fire danger, and visitors should call ahead to confirm park status. Gates are closed from sunset to 8:00 am, with check-in at 2:00 pm and check-out at noon. The maximum stay is 15 consecutive days or 30 days per calendar year.
