How far ahead to book Hidden Lake Campground

For June weekends, book about 147 days ahead. Three in four June Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 69 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least
May64 days ahead134 days ahead21 days ahead141 days ahead
June69 days ahead147 days ahead20 days ahead63 days ahead
July61 days ahead118 days ahead11 days ahead63 days ahead
August43 days ahead96 days ahead12 days ahead29 days ahead

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,701 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
