“It was hard to get a reservation due to limited spots, but what a great experience. First thing in the morning we had a herd of bison walking through our site and over the creek to the grassy area beyond! We saw bear on the Slough Creek Trail. Fantastic!”

Michelle K 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Slough Creek is the best location to Lamar Valley. We enjoyed our stay a lot. The only downfall is that there’s not enough sites. ”

How far ahead to book Slough Creek Campground

For August weekends, book about 173 days ahead. Three in four August Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 19 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 (3,502 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.
