How far ahead to book Island View (Rathbun Lake)

For July weekends, book about 160 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 55 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	85 days ahead	159 days ahead	82 days ahead	175 days ahead
June	54 days ahead	156 days ahead	83 days ahead	171 days ahead
July	55 days ahead	160 days ahead	94 days ahead	176 days ahead
August	37 days ahead	158 days ahead	45 days ahead	177 days ahead
September	25 days ahead	114 days ahead	16 days ahead	83 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 (31,018 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.
