How the opening dates are worked out
Georgia State Parks says reservations open 13 months before arrival, or 14 months for Georgia residents. The page does not say how the months are counted, so the dates above subtract whole calendar months from the arrival day. The time of day is not published. All three 2027 weekends were already open on November 15, 2026. Recreation.gov opens most campsites six months ahead, usually at 10 a.m. Eastern: Memorial Day 2027 opens on November 28, 2026, July 4 weekend on January 2, 2027, and Labor Day on March 3, 2027. Georgia Power is different: it takes bookings only 45 days ahead.
