How far ahead to book Cayton Campground

For August weekends, book about 173 days ahead. Three in four August Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 87 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Arrival month	Fri/Sat arrivals: half booked at least	A quarter at least	Other days: half booked at least	A quarter at least
May	63 days ahead	113 days ahead	54 days ahead	107 days ahead
June	99 days ahead	157 days ahead	94 days ahead	156 days ahead

August	87 days ahead	173 days ahead	74 days ahead	164 days ahead
September	94 days ahead	162 days ahead	73 days ahead	176 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 (5,974 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.
