Holiday camping availability
Holiday weekends are the hardest camping of the year to book, and every state opens them on a different schedule. Some state parks take Memorial Day and July 4th reservations about a year ahead. We track how booked the most popular parks in each state are, what has already sold out, and when each reservation system opens.

- Know when your state opens. Each holiday page lists when each reservation system opened or will open those dates. Be ready that morning.
- Book what's open, then improve it. A site for two of the three nights is worth grabbing while you watch for the rest.
- Watch the final weeks. Holiday sites keep coming back as people cancel, especially as refund deadlines get close.
- Set an alert. Campsite Tonight watches sold-out campgrounds 24/7 and, on Recreation.gov and supported state systems, adds an open site to your cart.
