How far ahead to book Onion Valley

For August weekends, book about 176 days ahead. Three in four August Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 133 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
April	91 days ahead	134 days ahead	—	—
May	95 days ahead	148 days ahead	42 days ahead	109 days ahead
June	95 days ahead	145 days ahead	49 days ahead	116 days ahead

September	89 days ahead	151 days ahead	46 days ahead	126 days ahead
October	31 days ahead	64 days ahead	22 days ahead	52 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 (14,993 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.
