GNYC Units may make reservations up to 12 months in advance of the desired reservation date. All other units and gorups may make reservations up to 11 months in advance. While reservations for tent sites, leantos, picnics and day trips can usually be accommodated with ease, cabin reservations for the months of October through April fill up far in advance. Please plan accordingly.

Reservations may be made by calling the Camping Reservations Hotline: 888-346-5805 Monday through Friday from 2 - 6 PM. Before calling, be sure to check out our Reservation Tips. Alternatively, you can complete the Reservation Inquiry form, indicate your desired reservation information, and be contacted by a member of the Camping Services Department.
