How far ahead to book Oak Bottom Campground

For July weekends, book about 95 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 32 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least
May12 days ahead25 days ahead——
June33 days ahead82 days ahead28 days ahead87 days ahead
July32 days ahead95 days ahead41 days ahead94 days ahead
August19 days ahead42 days ahead27 days ahead58 days ahead
September13 days ahead37 days ahead24 days ahead44 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 (955 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.
