How far ahead to book Diablo

For July weekends, book about 160 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 86 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	67 days ahead	120 days ahead	—	—
June	63 days ahead	126 days ahead	105 days ahead	146 days ahead
July	86 days ahead	160 days ahead	77 days ahead	171 days ahead
August	40 days ahead	95 days ahead	50 days ahead	123 days ahead
September	33 days ahead	55 days ahead	32 days ahead	61 days ahead
October	10 days ahead	18 days ahead	154 days ahead	180 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 (3,321 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.
