How far ahead to book French Meadows

For June weekends, book about 103 days ahead. Three in four June Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 45 days 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	50 days ahead	99 days ahead	41 days ahead	91 days ahead
June	45 days ahead	103 days ahead	55 days ahead	119 days ahead
July	47 days ahead	102 days ahead	39 days ahead	97 days ahead

September	33 days ahead	66 days ahead	23 days ahead	47 days ahead
October	5 days ahead	12 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 (8,714 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.
