Best Time to Camp at Mendenhall Campground
Experience the magic of Alaska's temperate rainforest, where summer brings endless daylight and gentle mists that dance through ancient trees. The prime camping season stretches through the warmer months when wildflowers carpet the forest floor and temperatures invite outdoor exploration. As autumn approaches, the landscape transforms into a tapestry of gold and crimson, while winter brings a hushed beauty with snow-dusted peaks and the occasional glimpse of northern lights dancing above the glacier.
Prime season (May 15–Sep 14); endless daylight and many positive summer reviews praising accessibility and views.
Shoulder season likely quieter with fall scenery, but fewer reviews and limited services after peak season.
Spring is shoulder season with variable weather; limited booking season starts mid-May so services may be reduced.
Facility accessible out-of-season but reservations closed; winter reviews sparse though XC skiing noted.
Planning Tips
- Peak Season: May 15, 2025 - September 14, 2025.. Book 2-3 months ahead.
- Operating Season: Open from May 15 to September 14 for reservations. The facility is accessible out-of-season, but booking is unavailable.
