Moro (Crystal Cove) is booked solid. Cancellations happen every day.

Bluff-top camping above Crystal Cove's beaches between Newport and Laguna — some of the only coastal sites in Orange County. ReserveCalifornia opens reservations six months ahead at 8am Pacific, and summer coastal weekends are typically gone the morning they open.

Free cancellation alerts

Get emailed the second a site opens at Moro (Crystal Cove). Your Scout starts checking the moment you subscribe — the first email arrives right away with where things stand.

When somebody cancels, the next email in your inbox is your nights at Moro (Crystal Cove) — booking link included, while the opening is still live.

Last catch here — a date opened, still open at our last check. That window is what an instant email wins you.

I'll email you the second a site opens.

Free — one Scout per email. It only emails you when something actually opens, and you can reply to any of its emails to adjust dates or stop.
