Questions
How far ahead can you book a Washington state park campsite?
Exactly 9 months before the first night of your stay, at 7 a.m. Pacific, on washington.goingtocamp.com. Washington State Parks' own example: Labor Day weekend 2027 opens December 3, 2026.
When do Oregon state park reservations open?
6 months before your arrival date, one day at a time. Oregon State Parks says new sites come online at 6 a.m. daily.
What time do Idaho state park reservations open?
Idaho opens dates up to 9 months ahead but doesn't publish a release time. Check getoutside.idaho.gov early that morning.
Does Mount Rainier need a timed entry reservation?
Not in 2026. The National Park Service said in February 2026 that Mount Rainier would not require timed entry reservations for any part of the park that year. Campground and wilderness permits are separate.
When do Multnomah Falls permits come out?
At 7 a.m. Pacific 14 days before your date, and a second batch at 7 a.m. 2 days before, on Recreation.gov. In 2026 permits were required May 22 through September 7, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Is this an official reservation site?
No. This is an independent site, not affiliated with any state park agency or the National Park Service. It works out dates from each agency's published rules and links you to the official booking site.
