Beginning on March 1 at 8 a.m. MT, you will be able to book trips for small groups (1-7 people) and large groups (8-12 people) to take place between May 1 and October 31 by clicking the “Check Availability” feature on the Rocky Mountain National Park Wilderness Permits page on Recreation.gov.
From there, select the Starting Area that corresponds to the campsite which you hope to reserve, filling in your desired start date, and entering the total number of members in your group. This will then populate all the campsites in that starting area and you can make your selections/bookings from there.
