How far ahead to book Buckhorn Campground

For May weekends, book about 107 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 31 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
May31 days ahead107 days ahead4 days ahead28 days ahead
June13 days ahead65 days ahead4 days ahead28 days ahead
July11 days ahead48 days ahead7 days ahead50 days ahead
August7 days ahead56 days ahead4 days ahead72 days ahead
September12 days ahead40 days ahead6 days ahead39 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 (5,682 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.
