How far ahead to book Shirttail Creek

For July weekends, book about 146 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 100 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	102 days ahead	144 days ahead	96 days ahead	176 days ahead
June	90 days ahead	143 days ahead	60 days ahead	143 days ahead
July	100 days ahead	146 days ahead	55 days ahead	141 days ahead
August	74 days ahead	124 days ahead	47 days ahead	117 days ahead
September	40 days ahead	81 days ahead	35 days ahead	78 days ahead
October	19 days ahead	45 days ahead	24 days ahead	43 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 (6,280 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.
