Reviews

Selected reviews

Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (57 reviews, ★ 4.0). Not written or edited by us.

“The area for the parking in this group site was very small, and one of the three families could not fit there, and fortunately was able to move to another spot. Also, the campsite is primarily loose dirt, so be prepared for that.”

How far ahead to book Pine Glen

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 119 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least

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 (3,411 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.
