“Beautiful setting, easy access, hiking trail.”

Debra W 5 · Aug 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Beautifully shaded site (#2) with a view of the water and a close walk to vault toilets. We couldn't have asked for a more pleasant experience. There is no dump station on site, but there is one in Eagle River about 10 miles away.”

Denise S 5 · Aug 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Would be nice to allow 2 campers on 1 site”

How far ahead to book Kentuck Lake Campground

For June weekends, book about 159 days ahead. Three in four June Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 77 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 (1,195 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.
