How far ahead to book Turkey Fork Recreation Area

For May weekends, book about 36 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 21 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
March	17 days ahead	31 days ahead	12 days ahead	30 days ahead
April	—	—	20 days ahead	43 days ahead
May	21 days ahead	36 days ahead	17 days ahead	37 days ahead
June	14 days ahead	31 days ahead	15 days ahead	38 days ahead
July	—	—	16 days ahead	40 days ahead
August	10 days ahead	19 days ahead	14 days ahead	45 days ahead
September	12 days ahead	25 days ahead	4 days ahead	26 days ahead
October	—	—	12 days ahead	72 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 (785 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.
