Getting a site here

Popular weekends here book up soon after they open on Recreation.gov. After that, the realistic path is cancellations.

Cancellations we've caught here

No booked site here has come back up in the last 30 days.

From our own checks of every site here. A site that opens and is rebooked between two checks isn't counted, so these are floors, and each time is a bound. Cancellations at every campground we log →

New Shady Rest Campground cancellation policy

Cancel by 11:59 p.m. two days before you arrive (Wednesday night for a Friday arrival) and you lose only the $10 fee; after that you also lose the first night. That's Recreation.gov's site-wide rule, but this campground's page still carries an older copy that starts the late window at 12:01 a.m. Eastern, which is 9:01 p.m. Pacific two evenings before you arrive. Cancel by 9 p.m. Pacific to be safe.
