Description: California State Parks Hearst San Simeon TokenCalifornia, a pioneer in land conservation, was the birthplace of the nation's first state park. This historic event took place in 1864 when President Abraham Lincoln signed an act granting Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Big Tree Grove to the State of California for preservation and public enjoyment. This marked the beginning of a new era in state-level land conservation. Today, California boasts the largest state park system in the United States. In California State Parks, shower tokens are commonly used to access shower facilities in the campgrounds. These tokens not only regulate the use of water but also help maintain and manage the facilities by ensuring that campers pay for the utilities they use. Each park in the California State Parks system has its own specific tokens for showers, adding a collectible aspect for visitors. Hearst San Simeon State Park, one of California’s oldest state parks, is a treasure trove of natural and cultural resources. Established in 1932, it covers nearly 26 miles of coastline from north Cambria to San Carpoforo Creek. The park's scenic coastal bluffs, Santa Rosa Creek Natural Preserve, and the San Simeon Natural Preserve are all significant cultural and natural resources. It offers camping facilities at San Simeon Creek Campground and Washburn Campground, making it a valuable recreational destination. The nearby Hearst Castle, a National Historic Landmark, adds to the area's appeal, offering visitors a glimpse into the opulent estate built by newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. This is an uncirculated token from Hearst San Simeon State Park, acquired in 2024. It features the California Parks logo on one side and an elephant seal on the reverse, symbolizing the park’s dedication to preserving its rich marine life and coastal heritage.10% of the purchase price benefits the California State Parks Foundation
