How far ahead to book Giant Gap

For July weekends, book about 177 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 158 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	114 days ahead	154 days ahead	53 days ahead	137 days ahead
June	134 days ahead	165 days ahead	72 days ahead	147 days ahead
July	158 days ahead	177 days ahead	94 days ahead	175 days ahead
August	142 days ahead	172 days ahead	72 days ahead	170 days ahead
September	72 days ahead	122 days ahead	37 days ahead	90 days ahead
October	37 days ahead	72 days ahead	43 days ahead	95 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 (9,278 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.
