How far ahead to book Summit Lake South

For July weekends, book about 175 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 143 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
June	147 days ahead	174 days ahead	80 days ahead	136 days ahead
July	143 days ahead	175 days ahead	71 days ahead	143 days ahead
August	121 days ahead	166 days ahead	47 days ahead	121 days ahead
September	65 days ahead	132 days ahead	17 days ahead	77 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 (12,664 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.
