How far ahead to book Lake Sherwood

For July weekends, book about 180 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 111 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least
May76 days ahead145 days ahead143 days ahead181 days ahead
June87 days ahead166 days ahead115 days ahead171 days ahead
July111 days ahead180 days ahead86 days ahead178 days ahead
August52 days ahead157 days ahead87 days ahead179 days ahead
September59 days ahead172 days ahead52 days ahead169 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 (6,339 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.
