Best Time to Camp at Russian River
Summer transforms this riverside sanctuary into a land of endless daylight and perfect outdoor temperatures. With comfortable highs hovering around 57°F and refreshing nights dipping to 47°F, the climate strikes an ideal balance for both active adventures and peaceful evenings around the campfire. While gentle rains occasionally sweep through the valley, they only enhance the lush beauty of the surrounding forest and keep the rivers flowing strong. The famous Alaskan midnight sun bathes the campground in golden light well into the evening hours, giving you more time to soak in every moment of your wilderness escape.
Peak season for salmon runs and hiking; excellent outdoor temps though very crowded June–July.
Early fall (Sept) offers quieter visits; activity and services taper off after peak season.
Opening in May with good early-season fishing and quieter trails; cooler temps than summer.
Campground is open May–September; winter season not served.
