How far ahead to book Alta Campground

For July weekends, book about 151 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 73 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least

August32 days ahead118 days ahead44 days ahead112 days ahead
September25 days ahead111 days ahead24 days ahead71 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 (1,754 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.
