How far ahead to book Platte River Campground

For July weekends, book about 181 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 111 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns

Arrival month	Fri/Sat arrivals: half booked at least	A quarter at least	Other days: half booked at least	A quarter at least
May	76 days ahead	147 days ahead	79 days ahead	156 days ahead
June	126 days ahead	173 days ahead	99 days ahead	166 days ahead
July	111 days ahead	181 days ahead	91 days ahead	181 days ahead

September	66 days ahead	170 days ahead	48 days ahead	167 days ahead
October	39 days ahead	95 days ahead	33 days ahead	106 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 (72,853 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.
