How far ahead to book Avalanche Campground

For August weekends, book about 176 days ahead. Three in four August Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 70 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
June3 days ahead5 days ahead1 days ahead4 days ahead
July11 days ahead127 days ahead11 days ahead140 days ahead
August70 days ahead176 days ahead37 days ahead167 days ahead
September27 days ahead163 days ahead39 days ahead168 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 (12,695 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.
