“Beautiful place! The lake was awesome and my dog really enjoyed it. I would go back again. It was clean, has bathrooms and trash receptacle. Also has picnic tables. I didn't fish so I can't say anything about that.”

How far ahead to book Birch Cove

For May weekends, book about 99 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 32 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

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 (12,080 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.
