“Great campground, big trees offered some shade, spots were spread out enough to provide some privacy. Could use coat hooks in the outhouses, which could stand to have been cleaned a little more often. ”

How far ahead to book Wapiti Campground

For July weekends, book about 156 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 72 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
May95 days ahead143 days ahead67 days ahead127 days ahead
June79 days ahead143 days ahead74 days ahead139 days ahead

September42 days ahead136 days ahead40 days ahead130 days ahead
October19 days ahead30 days ahead21 days ahead53 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 (7,689 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.
