About this campground

Greenough Lake Campground sits along Rock Creek less than a quarter mile from its namesake lake, about 12 miles south of Red Lodge and just off the Beartooth Highway.

How far ahead to book Greenough Lake

For July weekends, book about 180 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 163 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
May107 days ahead160 days ahead59 days ahead129 days ahead
June129 days ahead168 days ahead82 days ahead150 days ahead
July163 days ahead180 days ahead69 days ahead169 days ahead
August105 days ahead175 days ahead36 days ahead122 days ahead
September36 days ahead127 days ahead31 days ahead95 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 (4,504 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.
