James P ★ 4 · Jul 2025
Camping sites appear to get little use. Over all, our stay was comfortable, but the pull-in were very muddy, the grate over the fire pit was bent so badly it was unuseable, and the picnic table had moss growing in all of the gaps, causing it to hold moisture instead of drain between the slats. The trails were nice, restrooms were clean, good water available.
Barbara W ★ 4 · Jun 2025
Beautiful campground!! Very friendly and helpful host:) Convenient location to town with a beautiful drive. The estuary boardwalk trail is a must do, as is the drive up Harbor Mountain. Our site was located near the artesian well which was frequented by locals getting drinking water. This and the estuary in general generated a lot of campground traffic. We were glad the gates were closed overnight to cut down the traffic. There was no garbage collection available, so each day we "donated" to a different public day use site garbage. The RV campground down the road offered showers with a donation.
Stephanie P ★ 5 · Jun 2024
Stayed at this campground in mid June 2024 and loved it! Current campground host was wonderful, helpful, and kept grounds in great, clean shape. Campsites offer lots of vegetation for privacy from other visitors. Gates closed at 9p, reopened at 7a to help keep campground quiet without "drive throughs" all night. Host shares gate code upon check-in so campers can get in and out if needed. Artisan well with potable water accessible throughout campground. Along with bear proof food storage boxes. Multiple clean vault restrooms throughout as well. Firewood sold at host site for a very reasonable price! Beautiful place and cannot wait to go back!! Thank you, USFS!!

How far ahead to book Starrigavan Campsites

For August weekends, book about 86 days ahead. Three in four August Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 22 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
June29 days ahead75 days ahead33 days ahead81 days ahead
July36 days ahead82 days ahead49 days ahead118 days ahead
August22 days ahead86 days ahead37 days ahead94 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 (677 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.
