3% availability
The most recent update is from July 2025 and as expected permits are available (availability of overnight camping spots at 3%). With the end of summer, there is less demand so we should observe increased availability in the coming months. However, if your dates are sold out, no worries, we are here to help with monitoring and booking services :)

15-day slot availability
If you search for availability in the next 15 days, it should be very hard to find camping spot. On the other hand, if you search closer to the 90-day mark, it should be easier. We clearly notice this trend on the graph. It's also visible how the availability dropped from January to February 2025 (from 46% down to 7% on the 75-90 slot). That's when the high demand season starts.
As of July, permits available 81+ days ahead :)

11% days available
For 2 hikers in 2 consecutive days. This is another way to consider occupations vs availability numbers. We simply look into days we could book at least a single permit for 2 hikers in 2 consecutive days. Availability drops when we add more days or hikers.
