How far ahead to book Upper Tonto Creek

For July weekends, book about 74 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 1 day or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns

Arrival month	Fri/Sat arrivals: half booked at least	A quarter at least	Other days: half booked at least	A quarter at least
May	38 days ahead	53 days ahead	—	—
June	—	—	46 days ahead	68 days ahead
July	1 days ahead	74 days ahead	1 days ahead	92 days ahead
August	8 days ahead	17 days ahead	—	—
September	35 days ahead	46 days ahead	3 days ahead	7 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 (475 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.
