Advance reservations can only be made at these campgrounds through the National Recreation Reservation System (NRRS), via their toll-free phone number (1-877-444-6777) or their web site (http://www.reserveUSA.com/

The reservation system will only reserve 60 percent of available campsites, while the remaining 40 percent are available on a "first come, first serve" arrangement. Every third site is unavailable (i.e., sites 3, 6, 9, and 12 are unavailable for advance reservation; but sites 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 11 may be reserved in advance). A site may be reserved up to 240 days in advance, and favorite sites may also be reserved if they are available. For Lyons Ferry, Central Ferry, and Chief Timothy parks all sites are reservable.

The National Recreation Reservation System is a new program designed to help better serve our customers. Currently, the US Army Corps of Engineers and the US Forest Service are using the NRRS. If the toll-free number is busy, the website is fully capable of accepting your reservation request.
