No matter what season you're traveling in, it is always a good idea to make reservations at campsites that allow it. Popular campsites, especially those within the national parks, can fill up months in advance. For places that operate on a first-come, first-served basis, we recommend arriving early and planning your stays on weekdays when the sites are less likely to be full from weekend travelers.
