How far ahead to book Sherando Lake Recreation Area Family Camping

For October weekends, book about 167 days ahead. Three in four October Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 98 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns

Arrival month	Fri/Sat arrivals: half booked at least	A quarter at least	Other days: half booked at least	A quarter at least
April	39 days ahead	86 days ahead	24 days ahead	80 days ahead
May	93 days ahead	144 days ahead	34 days ahead	120 days ahead
June	96 days ahead	146 days ahead	35 days ahead	129 days ahead
July	79 days ahead	146 days ahead	39 days ahead	136 days ahead

September	76 days ahead	160 days ahead	37 days ahead	133 days ahead
October	98 days ahead	167 days ahead	43 days ahead	133 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 (26,269 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.
