SEATTLE — Reservations at some campgrounds in Olympic National Park are changing to allow visitors to book closer to their intended stay.
The changes open up reservation windows for certain sites at the Kalaloch, Hoh, Mora and Fairholme Campgrounds to six months in advance, others to two weeks in advance, with some only opening four days in advance. Olympic National Park said it hopes the new changes will give visitors more flexibility.
The park recommends visitors use recreation.gov to find the exact reservation window for each campsite.
The following campground sites can be booked between May 25 - Sept. 20 with reservations opening at 7 a.m.
