How far ahead to book Big Larch Campground

For August weekends, book about 99 days ahead. Three in four August Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 47 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

June28 days ahead56 days ahead17 days ahead51 days ahead
July60 days ahead93 days ahead60 days ahead108 days ahead
August47 days ahead99 days ahead20 days ahead59 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 (2,348 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.
