Why campsites open up at Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park

California's refund rules create a predictable wave of cancellations. Because campers lose money if they cancel late, most drop their reservations right before the refund deadline — which means openings cluster about a week out from any given date.

If they cancel…	They get back
7+ days before arrival	Full site fees refunded, minus the cancellation fee
2–6 days before	First night's fee forfeited; the rest refunded, minus the fee
Under 2 days / no-show	No refund — all fees forfeited

When do campsites usually open up at Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park?
