How far ahead to book Skillman

For June weekends, book about 130 days ahead. Three in four June Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 51 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	41 days ahead	92 days ahead	37 days ahead	109 days ahead
June	51 days ahead	130 days ahead	57 days ahead	139 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 (1,477 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.
