Season info
Winter-season campground: Forest Service season is November – April. First reservable night on Recreation.gov is Nov 1, 2026. The Forest Service gives April as the last month but no exact day, so the close shown is the end of April. The individual sites are first-come, first-served; only the group area takes reservations.
