“Fantastic! You will love it . Great for families including pups and so relaxing.”

Doyle N 5 · Aug 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Nice and quiet campground with phenomenal water access. Unfortunately, it is still recouping from the Creek Fire limiting the shade that each campsite has currently. The bathrooms were super clean and there are several fresh water spigots throughout. We will definitely be back! ”

How far ahead to book Lower Billy Creek

For July weekends, book about 181 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 150 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

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 (3,142 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.
