Can you camp near San Jose without a reservation?
Hipcamp staffYes, you can camp near San Jose without a reservation, but only on a site nobody has booked.
- Santa Clara County parks: same-day sites can't be booked online or by phone. If one is open, you buy it in person at the park. Mt. Madonna County Park has no first-come sites.
- Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park: unreserved sites go first come, first served, one night at a time.
- Henry W. Coe State Park: backpacking permits are first come, first served and usually available.
