Last year, more than 111,000 reservations were made through the system. Many campgrounds on national forests are extremely popular during the summer and holiday weekends, and we want to accommodate as many people as we can.
Campers prepay for full camping and reservation fees at time of reservation, by credit card.
There are additional fees for changes or cancellations. Fees may increase during peak months of May, June, and July to provide increased service to handle the heavy volume of calls. Campers calling during peak months may experience delays when calling the 1-800 number. Campers making reservations should have the name of the campground, National Forest and state, the planned arrival date, number of nights, number of people in their party, and the kind and size of recreation equipment they plan to bring when calling for reservations.
