“The campground was good but the timpanogos trailhead had extremely noisy young adults/teens that partied from midnight to three am. The party goers also tried to park illegally in the campground right next to our trailer. ”

Tara P 3 · Sep 2025 · Recreation.gov

“A perfect time to visit, excellent weather, no crowd. There was a little road noise and noise from people at the camp/resort area below. The bathrooms were closed but there were portapotties and running water. Can’t wait to camp here again!”

How far ahead to book Mt. Timpanogos

For July weekends, book about 115 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 68 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least

July68 days ahead115 days ahead30 days ahead83 days ahead
August49 days ahead87 days ahead25 days ahead74 days ahead
September48 days ahead101 days ahead19 days ahead34 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 (5,328 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.
