Most retirees who plan to spend all or part of the winter in California campgrounds and RV parks and resorts have already made their reservations. But for those who have waited to the last minute, the task of locating a private park that still has room for short or long-term winter visitors just got a little easier: The California Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds has assembled a list of parks that still have room for snowbirds.
“We’re trying to make it easier for snowbirds to find places to stay,” said Debbie Sipe, executive director of the Auburn-based campground association, whose website, www.Camp-California.com , serves as a search engine and booking tool for campgrounds throughout the state.
As of late December, Sipe added, at least 21 campgrounds, RV parks and resorts in California had yet to fill up for the season. Parks that still have vacancy for short- and long-term winter visitors include:
