Get Started FreeTen cabins on a Marin bluff. One hundred thousand people trying to get in.
Steep Ravine's 10 rustic wood cabins perch on a Pacific Ocean bluff in Marin County, with no electricity, no running water, just raw coastline and some of the most dramatic sunsets in Northern California. Every fall, California State Parks runs a lottery for the following year's reservations. Over 100,000 people enter. Ten win.
After the lottery, any unused or cancelled reservations re-enter the general pool on ReserveCalifornia the following morning at 8 a.m. Dibs on Dirt monitors every cancellation and emails you when one opens up, turning a 1-in-10,000 shot into something you can actually plan around.
No refreshing. No luck required. Just a monitor running while you sleep.
