“It's a nice find of a RV campsite, parts are rocky, parts are muddy but overall well kept campsite. Watch out for spiders dropping down at night from the trees ;)!”

How far ahead to book Lofers Bend East

For May weekends, book about 74 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 24 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 (11,949 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.
