How far ahead to book Birch Lake Campground

For May weekends, book about 121 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 63 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	63 days ahead	121 days ahead	91 days ahead	153 days ahead
June	30 days ahead	99 days ahead	60 days ahead	127 days ahead
July	43 days ahead	108 days ahead	48 days ahead	129 days ahead
August	26 days ahead	71 days ahead	32 days ahead	111 days ahead
September	25 days ahead	53 days ahead	35 days ahead	85 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 (3,676 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.
