How far ahead to book Gerle Creek

For May weekends, book about 181 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 146 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	146 days ahead	181 days ahead	80 days ahead	150 days ahead
June	145 days ahead	174 days ahead	102 days ahead	165 days ahead
July	149 days ahead	180 days ahead	120 days ahead	180 days ahead
August	138 days ahead	180 days ahead	108 days ahead	180 days ahead
September	116 days ahead	175 days ahead	83 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 (9,175 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.
