Booking Jenny Lake Campground — Grand Teton National Park in October
Texas state parks open reservations exactly 5 months in advance at 8 a.m. Central — so for a October trip, the booking window opens in May. Popular weekends can disappear within minutes of the window opening. If your dates are already full, check the booking system directly for cancellations, or book a cabin or vacation rental nearby.
What to Expect in October
Cooler weather and fall color (especially in the Hill Country) bring a second peak season.
