Reserve America start time

I’m new to rving and I’m looking to make a reservation at a popular state park that makes its reservations through reserve America.

You can only make reservations online 4 months in advance.

I was wondering if anyone knows if they start booking the reservations at 12:01 am or what time they start booking on the day four months out.

We bought a forest river cedar creek 33ik last April and this is our 3rd trip.


Thanks for your help and advice.

This forum is great.

I want to say 6AM, but not absolutely sure. Best thing for you to do is just call them ahead of time if the reservation means that much to you. Why leave it to somebody else.

I don't know if it's as popular as Parks Canada or Alberta reservations, but whatever time it goes live, you have to be ready to log on and book ASAP. Sites sell out within minutes up here for anything on the weekend. And then pretty quickly after that for weekdays throughout the summer.

Oregon State parks are 7:00 am through reserve America. It should be on the parks website if you dig deep enough. Every park will have it's own park details.

You need to read all of the rules for the state your trying to make the reservation.

States and types of campgrounds that Reserve America makes reservations can vary in timeframes. Army Corps of Engineers parks are 6 months out and done by Recreation.gov. I've found this state park reservation guide helpful https://roadtrippers.com/magazine/st...-reservations/

Best advice I can give you is to try to make a reservation four months out from today and see how the computer responds. If it won't attempt because the park is already booked, try another nearby state park.

Once you see where a reservation will be accepted, don't complete. Exit the book program. Close all browser windows and reboot the computer/ phone/ tablet from a complete power off.

Then try to make a reservation 4 months and 1 day from today. See what kind of response you get.

Cool Time

I use Reserve America for a CT State park, tried at Midnight, got an error message telling me can't book until 8AM......Not sure that's the same with every State or Park. I would try at midnight and see what message you get. Be ready....I click book at 1 second after 8 and lost out day after day.

Good Luck
