Calaveras County, CA Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

Calaveras County's best-known public open spaces are operated by state and federal agencies rather than the County itself, so park hours follow those agencies' rules. Calaveras Big Trees State Park, managed by California State Parks, lists day-use hours of sunrise to sunset and is open on holidays. New Hogan Lake, a major reservoir recreation area near Valley Springs, is maintained by the US Army Corps of Engineers, which enforces its own campground quiet hours and day-use rules. For County-operated facilities, Parks and Recreation services are administered through the County (parksandrec.calaverasgov.us). We were not able to confirm, from a fetched primary source, a single county-wide ordinance setting general park-closing hours or a nighttime curfew for minors in unincorporated Calaveras County; the County Code's Title 9 (Public Peace, Morals, and Welfare) addresses matters such as noise (Chapter 9.02), which restricts disturbing noise during nighttime hours, but a dedicated minors'-curfew chapter was not verified here. California does not impose a statewide curfew on minors; curfews are set locally, and where none exists, general state laws on trespass and loitering (Penal Code Sections 602 and 647) apply. Visitors should check posted signage and the managing agency's rules at each specific park, and confirm any County facility hours directly with Calaveras County Parks and Recreation.
