“Very nice clean facility. Third time visiting the Lillydale campground in the last few years. A little disappointed that it closes early in the year. Wish cell service was better for T-Mobile.”

DALE G 4 · Sep 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Lily Dale is an awesome campground!! It’s always clean, well maintained and just a fun place to camp. I wish it was open for longer in the fall and would open earlier in the spring. Spring and fall is our favorite times to camp.”

How far ahead to book Lillydale Campground and Day Use

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 (22,998 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.
