How far ahead to book Meadowview Campground

For August weekends, book about 90 days ahead. Three in four August Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 76 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
May14 days ahead16 days ahead——
June29 days ahead37 days ahead23 days ahead34 days ahead
July57 days ahead65 days ahead48 days ahead59 days ahead
August76 days ahead90 days ahead38 days ahead76 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 (1,142 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.
