    How far ahead to book Wax Campground

    For May weekends, book about 169 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 118 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

    September91 days ahead174 days ahead79 days ahead181 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 (18,620 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.
