How far ahead to book Butte Lake

For July weekends, book about 101 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 52 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Arrival month	Fri/Sat arrivals: half booked at least	A quarter at least	Other days: half booked at least	A quarter at least
May	47 days ahead	116 days ahead	—	—

September	30 days ahead	83 days ahead	20 days ahead	60 days ahead
October	7 days ahead	29 days ahead	5 days ahead	30 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 (16,368 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.
