Getting a site here

From our own checks of every site here, lately about every 20 minutes for nights this month and next, less often further out. 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 →
William Kent 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.
