“Very clean and well kept lawns. Love all the paved walkways.”

Tami A 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Loved this place. Hard to get a reservation so book early. We added an extra night and had to move. Still worth it!! Camp hosts were amazing! The beach was amazing. Tons of places tried bikes and scooters. ”

How far ahead to book Riley Creek

For June weekends, book about 181 days ahead. Three in four June Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 157 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least

September89 days ahead174 days ahead72 days ahead175 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 (24,829 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.
