How far ahead to book Crystal Springs Campground (Ca)

For July weekends, book about 24 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 2 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
May2 days ahead4 days ahead2 days ahead2 days ahead
June2 days ahead13 days ahead1 days ahead2 days ahead
July2 days ahead24 days ahead2 days ahead2 days ahead
August2 days ahead3 days ahead1 days ahead2 days ahead
September1 days ahead2 days ahead1 days ahead2 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 (5,122 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.
