According to Permit Pickup Instructions, "You must pick up or confirm your reservation before the deadline or the reservation will be canceled. Deadline for overnight permits is 10 am on the entry date. Deadline for day use permits is noon one day before the entry date."

To confirm your group size, log onto your account at Recreation.gov and go to your reservation.
If your group size will be smaller than you reserved, correct the group size.
Click the confirm reservation button to ensure your reservation will be held until the close of business on your entry date.
