How far ahead to book Black Canyon of the Gunnison South Rim Campground

For July weekends, book about 163 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 102 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
April	2 days ahead	9 days ahead	0 days ahead	3 days ahead
May	66 days ahead	129 days ahead	36 days ahead	98 days ahead
June	93 days ahead	145 days ahead	72 days ahead	134 days ahead

September	66 days ahead	143 days ahead	47 days ahead	132 days ahead
October	15 days ahead	46 days ahead	15 days ahead	54 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 (38,268 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.
