How far ahead to book Alvarado Campground

For July weekends, book about 146 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 85 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	65 days ahead	123 days ahead	42 days ahead	116 days ahead
June	72 days ahead	135 days ahead	43 days ahead	125 days ahead
July	85 days ahead	146 days ahead	52 days ahead	138 days ahead
August	41 days ahead	101 days ahead	36 days ahead	110 days ahead
September	29 days ahead	61 days ahead	27 days ahead	67 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 (7,174 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.
