Yellowstone National Park Tuesday said it will try out a new reservation system for two campgrounds and part of a third.
Reservations for Mammoth and Slough Creek campgrounds, along with 60 percent of Pebble Creek, will go live on recreation.gov for the first time on Mar. 24 at 8 am.
People will be able to book campsites up to six months in advance and reservations are expected to fill quickly, according to Yellowstone officials.
Spokesperson Linda Veress says the new system is a direct response to public requests for a reservation system for campgrounds managed by the park itself.
