LOS ANGELES Kristen Tate camps a lot. The freelance book editor from San Francisco takes car camping trips for two weeks every summer, during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays and often on weekends. She knows it’s tricky to make reservations for campgrounds in California, especially when you’re looking for popular sites during the peak summer season.
“If I want something for a very desirable weekend, I plan ahead,” Tate said. “I either get that six-month window when (reservations) open, or I just don’t worry and wait for a two-week window right before. I start looking then because that’s when people start canceling.” ....

It’s the middle of winter, and my mind is set firmly on summer. Visions of pine trees and granite boulders, warm sunshine and a sparkling blue lake to jump in.
If you want to go camping in Lake Tahoe, you have to think six months in advance, which is when most campsites open up for reservations. And they go quickly. Which is why, for six days in a row at the end of January, I was at my computer at 7:59 a.m. sharp, logged on to a government website, finger poised, ready to hit the refresh button so I could book a campsite in Lake Tahoe. ....
