Selected reviews

Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (15 reviews, ★ 4.0). Not written or edited by us.

“This was a beautiful campground; however, the sites were a little small, there was a bit of road noise, and when we visited, the bathroom was out of order due to vandalism. ”

How far ahead to book Montpelier Canyon Campground

For June weekends, book about 42 days ahead. Three in four June Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 22 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

July16 days ahead40 days ahead34 days ahead91 days ahead
August17 days ahead33 days ahead25 days ahead62 days ahead
September11 days ahead13 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 (1,209 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.
