Camping Reservation System
Campground Reservation System
The National Recreation Reservation Center (1-877-444-6777) allows you to reserve a specific site at your favorite campground. Simply tell the Recreation Specialist the type of adventure you want - hiking, boating, fishing, etc. - and he/she will help locate the National Forest that's right for you.
Family Campsites on the National Reservation System can be reserved from five (5) to 240 days before arrival. Group sites can be reserved 360 days ahead. Visitors should make their campsite reservations as early in the year as possible to avoid busy signals at the Reservation System office, and to assure reservations for the desired sites.
Call the Reservation Center to make phone-in reservations at least 5 days in advance of the first night of our trip. Mail in reservations must be made at least 10 days in advance. Call:
Reservations are advised for all selected National Forest campgrounds during "peak seasons". The peak season for most campgrounds is Memorial Day through Labor Day. Most Ranger Districts keep some sites open after Labor Day, weather permitting. For Recreation Reservations Call: 1-877-444-6777, TDD 877-833-6777

Call the Reservation Center if you would like to receive a mail-in reservation application form. You may mail in reservation applications 12 months in advance of your first night of arrival for group sites and 240 days in advance of your first night of arrival for single family sites. Applications received earlier will be returned without processing. Be sure to include alternate dates and campgrounds on your applications. If your original request cannot be filled, a reasonable attempt will be made to reach you to obtain an alternate date, but if that is not possible, your application will be returned unfilled. Reservation vouchers cannot be held for you at the campground or mailed to a temporary address.
