How far ahead to book Simpson Springs Campground

For May weekends, book about 51 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 18 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Arrival month	Fri/Sat arrivals: half booked at least	A quarter at least	Other days: half booked at least	A quarter at least
March	6 days ahead	25 days ahead	—	—
April	9 days ahead	29 days ahead	7 days ahead	23 days ahead
May	18 days ahead	51 days ahead	9 days ahead	46 days ahead

September	4 days ahead	32 days ahead	5 days ahead	29 days ahead
October	4 days ahead	12 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 (1,077 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.
