About
Tolowa Dunes State Park is a California State Park with real, current overnight camping in Del Norte County, but no numeric site count is published by either California State Parks or ReserveCalifornia.
Fees
California State Parks (ReserveCalifornia.com) does not publish one statewide nightly rate schedule; its own Booking and Fees page states rates 'vary based on the accommodation type and the amenities available at that park' and are posted per-park at booking time. A non-refundable $8.25 reservation fee (also $8.25 to modify or cancel) applies per ReserveCalifornia transaction, on top of the site's nightly rate. Fees include entry for one vehicle and one legally towed vehicle/trailer; additional vehicles are charged per-night at the park. This park has no park-specific pet policy published on its own page; California State Parks' statewide policy (parks.ca.gov/Dogs) applies: dogs must be on a leash no longer than 6 feet at all times, may not be left unattended (overnight campers must keep dogs in a tent or vehicle), and are generally not allowed on trails, near rivers/creeks, in open forest/meadows, environmental campsites, or on most beaches (service animals excepted).
