“Not great campsite. Gave up on it and found a better site at Howers where a first-come first-serve was open. Would not book this site again.”

How far ahead to book Barneys Campground (Boise National Forest, Id)

For July weekends, book about 176 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 148 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
June——136 days ahead176 days ahead
July148 days ahead176 days ahead151 days ahead181 days ahead
August61 days ahead144 days ahead118 days ahead172 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 (605 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.
