How far ahead to book Sandy Beach Camp

For May weekends, book about 110 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 24 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least
May24 days ahead110 days ahead31 days ahead141 days ahead
June16 days ahead68 days ahead13 days ahead112 days ahead
July11 days ahead45 days ahead11 days ahead66 days ahead
August10 days ahead49 days ahead7 days ahead63 days ahead
September14 days ahead64 days ahead15 days ahead99 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 (12,432 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.
