Best Time to Camp at Group Use Campground

Alamo Lake rolls out the welcome mat year-round, though most groups find their sweet spot during fall, winter, and spring when temperatures hover in that perfect camping range. Summer brings serious desert heat—the kind that locals respect—but the park remains open for heat-tolerant adventurers, with the on-site store adjusting hours seasonally to serve visitors whenever they arrive.

Summer(Jun-Aug)
2.5 / 5

Low-elevation desert summers likely very hot; lake helps but heat is a factor.

Fall(Sep-Nov)
4.0 / 5

Milder fall weather should favor boating, fishing and camping.

Best
Spring(Mar-May)
4.5 / 5
Top 15% in AZ

Wildflowers in spring and pleasant temps make spring a peak season.

Winter(Dec-Feb)
3.5 / 5

Mild Arizona winters likely good for camping and stargazing; no snow sports.

Planning Tips
  • Operating Season: Open year-round (24 hours).

About Group Use Campground

Gather your group for an unforgettable desert adventure at Alamo Lake State Park, where Arizona's wild Sonoran landscape cradles a hidden oasis in the Bill Williams River Valley. From sunrise fishing excursions to OHV trails that kick up desert dust, from birdwatching expeditions to nights under some of the darkest, star-filled skies you'll ever witness—this is where your group creates memories that last a lifetime.
The park accommodates a range of camping types including tent and RV sites and offers cabins; dry (no-hookup) camping areas are provided in some campgrounds and one campground has full hookups.
