“Site 25 Great campground, clean vaulted restrooms Would definitely recommend ”

James W 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

How far ahead to book Bay Furnace Campground

For August weekends, book about 179 days ahead. Three in four August Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 130 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 (12,956 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.
