Instructions

Step 1

Visit either of the Reserve America or Recreation.gov websites in the Resources section and click "Book Now" to see a list of available campsites.

Select a campsite from the list to input your desired reservation dates, or click the "Date Range Availability" tab to see a list of which campsites are available for which dates. Available dates will be marked with a letter "A."

Step 3

Click "Book These Dates" once you've selected a campsite and available dates. Follow the prompts to create a sign-in account, if you don't have one already.

Step 4

Tips & Warnings

Make your camping plans at least four days, and as much as six months, in advance. If you're going camping in less than four days, you can't make a reservation; you'll just have to take your chances and hope to catch an open spot. If you don't complete and pay for your reservation within 15 minutes, it will become available for others to reserve. You may be charged a $10 service fee for canceling reservations.
