“Very Quit stay. Granddaughter loved it. And wants to go back. Play ground nice need a little repair on it. But for sure we will be back again next season. ”

Daniel W 4 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Spaces are relatively small, hostess is rude, grass is usually over a foot tall, more expensive than other sites where you have more peace and room to move about. ”

Amanda W 2 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“It’s a quiet and secluded area with lots of shade trees, except for the spots along the water. ”

How far ahead to book Farnum Creek

For May weekends, book about 127 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 34 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

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 (8,530 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.
