When do Silver Queen reservations open?

The White River National Forest says most of its developed campgrounds open on recreation.gov about 6 months ahead. That's a forest-wide statement from Feb 2025: the Silver Queen pages don't restate it, so check which dates are on sale before you plan around a release day.

The pages we checked don't give season dates for Silver Queen, so check its recreation.gov page for the dates on sale. All five sites are reservable, and neither page mentions first-come sites. Recreation.gov notes a 5-day stay limit.

Rules verified Nov 8, 2026 against the Forest Service page, recreation.gov and the White River National Forest's reservations notice. Rules change: check before you book.
