The California Department of Parks and Recreation (California State Parks) is committed to making our website, ReserveCalifornia™, accessible to persons with disabilities, including users of screen reader technology. To accomplish this, California State Parks has partnered with industry-leading organizations to ensure that this website is compliant with accessibility laws, including California Government Code sections 7405 and 11135, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. A third-party accessibility team has tested ReserveCalifornia™ and has certified the website complies with WCAG 2.1 A & AA.  

California State Parks is pleased to provide free assistive technology for people with physical disabilities and to ensure that its website is accessible to all visitors.  To download and install the free assistive technology, visit eSSENTIAL Accessibility.  

We recommend using the most current versions of (or the version released just before) the manufacturer’s assistive technology applications, along with current versions of browsers. We also recommend trying different types of browsers with assistive technology applications to determine which combination works best for you

Please be aware that our efforts to maintain accessibility and usability are ongoing. While we strive to make the Reserve California website as accessible as possible, some issues can be encountered by different assistive technology as the range of assistive technology is wide and varied.

If you have difficulty accessing any material on our website, please contact (916) 445-8949 or email us at accessibility@parks.ca.gov.  We will correct the problem or work to provide the information in an alternative format.
