“Great group camp sight right by the bathrooms. ”

“Everything is good there except the road coming in to campground and road to boat landing needs to be graded. Campsites need class 5 gravel and leveled.”

How far ahead to book Echo Lake (Minn)

For July weekends, book about 123 days ahead. Three in four July 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

August19 days ahead44 days ahead26 days ahead80 days ahead
September13 days ahead38 days ahead14 days ahead45 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 (1,809 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.
