“Lovely site (17, seemed the largest and among the most private). Description should include the long gravel road with stream crossing. ”

How far ahead to book Warner Valley Campground

For June weekends, book about 93 days ahead. Three in four June Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 35 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
June35 days ahead93 days ahead26 days ahead63 days ahead
July38 days ahead65 days ahead12 days ahead37 days ahead
August28 days ahead62 days ahead7 days ahead42 days ahead
September5 days ahead18 days ahead7 days ahead25 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 (722 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.
