    The Bureau of Land Management will implement an online reservation system for overnight camping on February 1, 2023, for the five campgrounds in the Rabbit Valley area of McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area. The recreation.gov online reservation system will help manage the increased popularity of the area and will ensure campsite availability prior to arrival.

    “Since 2008, the BLM has seen a large increase in demand for campsites in Rabbit Valley,” said BLM Outdoor Recreation Planner Alex Martin. “The online reservation system and additional developed sites will protect natural resources and ensure availability upon arrival.”

    The camping fee is $20 per night plus a $8 transaction fee for each reservation. Approximately 50 percent of the sites in each campground will be available for online reservations on a six-month rolling window, with the rest of the sites available on a four-day rolling window to accommodate spontaneous trips. Camping in the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area is limited to 7 nights per month.
