How far ahead to book Clearwater Lake Rec Area

For January weekends, book about 55 days ahead. Three in four January Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 18 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
January	18 days ahead	55 days ahead	11 days ahead	46 days ahead
February	23 days ahead	45 days ahead	18 days ahead	60 days ahead
March	21 days ahead	36 days ahead	11 days ahead	34 days ahead
April	9 days ahead	26 days ahead	6 days ahead	21 days ahead
May	14 days ahead	30 days ahead	5 days ahead	21 days ahead
June	9 days ahead	21 days ahead	7 days ahead	28 days ahead

September	9 days ahead	25 days ahead	6 days ahead	32 days ahead
October	11 days ahead	28 days ahead	7 days ahead	24 days ahead
November	18 days ahead	40 days ahead	31 days ahead	94 days ahead
December	23 days ahead	50 days ahead	14 days ahead	37 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 (10,389 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.
